Seeking Pleasure Can Get Out of Hand
Lauren and Ben discuss the complexities of episode two of the series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
This episode, recorded 11 months post-Taylor's arrest, features Taylor's baby shower as a focal point.
The hosts examine themes including the empowerment of women as breadwinners, the impact of swinging on their brands, and the pervasive shame surrounding sex in conservative cultures, particularly within Mormonism. They also explore the dynamics of non-monogamous relationships, the importance of sex education, and the challenges of maintaining friendships amidst scandals.
Lauren and Ben highlight the contrasts in parental support, the necessity of open conversations about sex, and how the lifestyle community embraces both sex and pleasure in a unique way.
