“I didn’t know that it wasn’t normal for [sex] to hurt. I definitely fell into the category of ‘doing wifely duties.'”
In episode two, I interview Annie. Annie was raised in a Southern Baptist community, and was so closed off from her own body that her friends called her “trench coat”. When she got married as a virgin at 19, sex was painful and she thought that was normal. Listen as she tells how she recovered her relationship with her body after an affair shattered everything.
