In a culture that seeks to convince us sexual purity is an antiquated philosophy, Jennifer Strickland proves the opposite. In 21 Myths (Even Good) Girls Believe about Sex, she uncovers the lies that would have us believe purity of mind and body stands in the way of our sexual freedoms. Through candid stories, analogies, and personal transparency she reveals the truth about sexthat purity does not inhibit physical pleasure but liberates us to enjoy sex the way it was designed to be pleasure without pain or remorse.
