This week, Rosie Makinney takes us on a thought-provoking journey through the origins of our cultural beliefs about sex, self-control, and repression.

What happens when intimacy stops being mutual self-giving and becomes stress relief? What happens when appetite governs us instead of character? And…

In this episode, Rosie explores…

She challenges cultural narratives that minimize the…
