Oh, REALLY?!? And between him and his wife, NEITHER of them could find her clitoris ... or knew about it or understood its place in human sexuality??? The raw, screaming ignorance expressed by this article is positively TRAGIC, as well as apparently being WILLFUL.

This – this, THIS, π—§π—›π—œπ—¦ – is the brand of education these clueless Christians want to make universal for the United States, probably for the world, if they could. And this is why we must continue to fight them, tooth and nail, until their influence is GONE from our schools and our kids.

Clinical Sexologist sounds like a creepy guy trying to use a position of authority to molest vulnerable women. It certainly doesn’t sound like an actual doctor. Especially since he’s not forthcoming with his educational background. It really sounds like he’s an official mixologist from the Red Robin school of Libations or some shit. But religionists are so feckin brainwashed they believe anything that comes out the mouths of folks claiming Christianity.

Clinical sexologist sounds like one of those names that anyone can call themselves – like tootheologist.

Or "reverend," "prophet," "apostle," "minister," preacher" or even "bishop." And there's no way to nail them, since there is no legally enforceable definition of any of those terms.

He found the clitoris, that automatically qualifies him in the church as a Clinical Sexologist.

One can wonder how she wash herself. Does she use mor(m)ons undergarments even in the shower ?

Expand full comment

Or worse: she was taught that that part was "dirty," and that she shouldn't even touch it. Honestly, even in typing that, I find that to be so fucking tragic, that she had no idea of how her own body worked or what that little nub of flesh was to her sexuality.

It's just mind-boggling.

I was never teached that it was dirty and I had a secular education. I still learned what it was years after I discovered it. It's how much it was overlooked, women sexuality outside of PIV and sometimes fellation was not even considered.

Expand full comment

I wasn't taught that it was dirty, either, but then, most of my life has been lived in the northern United States, where reasonably functional sex education wasn't verboten. Sex education in the early 60s wasn't the best, but it was a long distance from the kind of crap that that Hills were subjected to.

I don't know quite how I learned it, but at some point or other, I discovered that GIVING pleasure was at least as cool as GETTING it. As a result, I wanted to know all the ways I could do that for my partner, regardless of their physiology. Turned out to be a pretty fun time, too! 😁

I grew up in California, about 7 miles from Berkeley. The sole sex education (in 1963, 6th grade) was a primitive film strip consisting of an ad for Kotex "feminine products." Mama Doctor Jones recently showed and commented on a more recent version of it, done in about 1959, on her YT channel. I had no idea what the thing was even about, and had no one to ask: no friends (I was an outcaste at school), I was the oldest in my family, and modern Purity Culture is very like conservative catholicism of the 1950s and 60s. So, zero discussion of bodies, or anything else; it was all "dirty." When I first got my period, at 14, I thought I was dying of appendicitis. I was never taken to a physician concerning my extremely irregular and extremely painful periods. And then they tried to marry me off at 17. To a guy who, I realized later, was deeply closeted. (He overdosed at 28.) That is what catholic purity culture did, and probably still does. Everything else (meaning, basically *everything*) I had to learn after I ran away and went to college. In the late 1990s, even a doctor in my home town shrugged off the ongoing neglect and abuse at the local county clinic with, "Well, this is Richmond", as if being that town was some sort of excuse. Was the learning fun? Sure, but I should never have been put in that painful position in the first place.

No, you shouldn't have, and I'm glad you came through all of that in one piece.

In my Catholic boys high school in the 1960s we had a total of two semesters of what was smilingly called sex education. The sophomore semester was taught by an assistant football coach, Leonard Jankowski, aka "Jabbo," who, quite honestly, would have had trouble even spelling "penis,' never mind "clitoris." The junior semester was taught by Brother Donald Millevac, a Marianist fresh out of Jesus school. Both terms were all about Catholic religion and "morality," not science of physiology, and I don't remember either of them saying a word about women's sexuality or anatomy.

I still remember the time Bro. Millevac, trying to be a regular guy, offered to answer any question any of us had about any aspect of human sexuality. Someone raised his hand and asked the church's position on 69 (as if we didn't all know). Bro. Don got a baffled look on his face, like one of the Three Stooges trying to figure out how to eat an artichoke, wrinkled his brow, and got lost deep in thought. Finally the little light bulb over his head lit up. He beamed a great big smile and said, "Oh, you mean the 6th and 9th commandments!" And a classroom full of horny teenage boys fell on the floor laughing. When the Marianists weren't raping us they were at least good for a lot of unintentional comedy.

And a husband clearly uninterested in her pleasure.

Expand full comment

I’m surprised Phyllis acknowledged anything was wrong with her sex life. If the purity culturists had their way wives would just grit their teeth and bear it whenever and however long the husband wants it. Look at Ben Shapiro, spending multiple shows worth of time expressing how WAP means there’s something wrong with the woman and he has never done anything like that for his wife. But he’s not the only one. The Transformed Wife says similar stuff, it’s clear her husband has never bothered to find her clit. But the politicians who dismiss rapes by telling women to just ride it out it doesn’t take long. And these women are lucky, there are serious consequences for sex with unaroused women, tearing and infections can be deadly. (I have mentioned an incident I experienced when I was younger, it wasn’t because of a lack of lubrication, but a lack of knowledge and an excess of excitement nearly killed me.)

Also, if Phyllis was too shy to get help from her friend, she might also be too shy to talk with her husband about the issues she had with sex. Maybe not Phyllis here, but most certainly other women stuck in purity culture , or maybe they tried to bring it up with their husbands but were told to be quiet as the husbands know best. And there are a great deal of men who search out porn with frigid partners, who almost prefer sex with the dolls over a woman with human functions. They may not be a large minority of men, but I feel like they are the type to be attracted to the stunted women in the purity circles.

These are folks too, that are making educational decisions for whole communities. Pushing abstinence only sex education in schools, insisting all women experience this torture on their wedding nights.

They think abstinence only will guarantee kids wait until marriage for sex. All it guarantees is a whole lot of bad and painful sex.

Oh, no. They take care of that. Put the 14 year old pregnant girl and the 15 year old boy in front of a judge and *boom* they're married, regardless of what they want. He can't get a job until his next birthday, can't get to a job if he could, if and when he gets one, he won't make enough to support himself, much less a wife and child. They can't afford day-care, so she can't work. And with all this work and child-raising (different kind of work) forget finishing high-school, much less going to college.

They and the child are stuck in poverty for the rest of their lives.

So much better than teaching them about mutal-masturbation and birth-control.

Expand full comment

Oh, I forgot the part about them having a second child before his 18th birthday, because still no one has taught them about birth-control and they have no idea how to find out about it, if they've figured out it exists.

Speaking of BC, there is one good thing about self-checkout at Wal-Mart. Teenage boys don't have to face anyone to buy condoms. (Unlike convenience stores where they put them behind the counter to keep them from being stolen.)

Abstinence only never worked. In Zola* books both men and women have sex outside of marriage and they were written in 19th century. I have DM maternal grandparents as model too.

* I take him as example since his novels show an exact picture of how people lived at that time.

"they could have checked out an anatomy book"

When I was at school in the 90's clitoris was never mentioned wether in biology textbooks/classes, sex education classes at my school and boardschool or the play I went with my boardschool.

And it wasn't an abstinence only one, STDs, condoms, birth control methods were mentioned every time.

Somehow, I didn't need a baby to learn where it was.

I suspect he made the title up. Painful for her, but they did it anyway. It was *her* problem, so no doctors. (He knew what it took for *him* to get pleasure, so screw it) I also can't believe she was so "modest" that she couldn't have another woman show her. Too ashamed to use an anatomy book. (I could see too broke to go to a doctor) Instead of having her friend show her on *her* body, she has to let her show her on her daughter's body. IOW, her daughter's nudity in front of her friend was okay, but hers was not.

A gay (male) couple wouldn't have this problem because there are only a few very,very,very fucked up boys who don't explore their own bodies and know at least a few things to give them pleasure.

If the clitoris were important to God, he would have written about it in the Bible and provided all the necessary instructions. Therefore, it is God's will. Good people do not question God's will.

Other than being a good rule follower what, exactly, does a rigid religious upbringing prepare you for? Absolutely none of it is reality-based.

Shoot, being a good rule follower – for which you may read, "sheep!" – is precisely what evangelical Christian leaders want their congregations to be in the first place. They lead, the sheep follow, that's that.

And that concept should concern any thinking human being.

Indeed. They can talk about their loving Jesus and the glorious afterlife from now on, but there is nothing they crave so much as power and control in this world. Power few groups would be more ill-equipped to exercise. If you want to see what genuine persecution looks like, . . . hand power to the preachers,.

"It’s an entire ministry of the ignorant leading the ignorant at a time when what they all need is actual expertise."

It's all right here in this one sentence. Ignorance, which they call innocence, is a virtue. Knowing stuff is sin. It's right there in the Bible. If you talk about all of that dirty sex stuff, you're taking all of the romance and the magic out of it. And that was what God put into it for our own benefit, even if it's not. And besides, sex is dirty.

This woman with a "sexologist" for a husband chose not to eat of the tree in the garden.

When I was doing a course on "medical systems of China India and the West" – anthropology I think – there was a memoir we had to read by an Indian guy who put himself through absolute torment in various ways driving himself to the point of madness if not beyond – it was medically related in some way I can't remember, and almost killing himself in the process. We were asked to comment – and I'm afraid I said I would have referred him to a psychiatrist. Which to be fair, although they were probably expecting a bit more of an airy fairy answer they treated it seriously. I was expecting to be chastised for being anti-woo. It was anthropology after all.
