Give Me Sex Jesus
Purity culture inside American evangelicalism gets a full accounting here, built from interviews with pastors, authors, and adults who grew up pledging virginity until marriage. The film traces how abstinence became a defining marker of Christian identity in the 1990s, with purity rings, father-daughter balls, and bestselling books like "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" treated as central evidence rather than footnotes. Subjects describe what happened after the wedding night, when years of being told sex was dangerous collided with an expectation to suddenly enjoy it, and several speak candidly about shame, anxiety, and marriages strained by that whiplash. Pastors and counselors weigh in alongside the men and women living with the aftermath, giving the film both a theological argument and a set of personal case studies. It does not reject Christian sexual ethics outright so much as ask whether the movement built to protect young people instead left many of them unprepared, confused, or hurt.
