Episode 225: Weird Stories About Sex...from the Bible

Dear Parents: You might want to listen to this one before deciding if you want to share it with your kids.

Turns out, there are a lot of weird, inappropriate, and at times abusive, sexual relationships in the Bible. As modern readers, we often either ignore these stories or we attribute them to strange customs that no longer hold sway in our communities, but what we don’t realize is how much these old stories still affect the way we talk about sex today.
