For anyone raised with silence, fear, and negative messaging about sex, this book offers the antidote: comprehensive, compassionate, and inclusive sexuality education. Creator of the Purity Culture Dropout Program™, Erica draws on decades of expertise as a sexuality educator serving the people most impacted by authoritarian upbringing and fear-based religions. This book will provide you with the accurate, science-backed guidance your body and heart have been craving. Nurture, heal, and liberate yourself with this important book, and step into the life you so richly deserve. -- Tina Schermer Sellers * PhD, LMFT, CST.

To those of us who grew up entrenched in purity culture: Reading this book feels like coming up for air. Free of shame, full of life and pleasure, if you’re looking to step into a new way of being, The Purity Culture Recovery Guide will help you do just that. -- Matthias Roberts * Therapist and Author of Beyond Shame: Creating a Healthy Sex Life on Your Own Terms *
