How being a Jehovah’s Witness shapes your views on sex and dating, with Jodie Chapman

Support Millennial Love with a donation today: https://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove


This week, Olivia is joined by author Jodie Chapman to discuss how being a Jehovah’s Witness shapes your views on sex and dating.


Jodie has just published her first book, a novel called Another Life, which tells the story of Nick and Anna, who meet when they’re young one summer and working at the same cinema. Nick and Anna come from two very different backgrounds, as we soon discover, with Anna having been raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, as Jodie was.


On the show, Jodie speaks about leaving the faith as an adult and the many ways that her upbringing as a Witness shaped the way she thought about sex and relationships.


The duo also talk about celibacy, how religion can act as a barrier in relationships, and misconceptions around Doomsday religions.

As temperatures drop, we discuss the perhaps unsurprising news that flings with colleagues are more common in winter (watch out for mistletoe at the office Christmas party).

#4 Sexual harassment at work, Tinder's controversial new feature and should we only ever have sober sex for safety?

With allegations against Harvey Weinstein growing in number everyday, this week on Millennial Love we discuss sexual harassment in the workplace and how we can tackle it. We also consider the advice of a criminal barrister, who has spoken out to say men shouldn't sleep with women who've consumed alcohol because alcohol compromises your ability to consent. And Tinder has launched a new feature that's meant to be feminist, but we reveal why we're far from convinced.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/millenniallove. Hosted on Acast.
