Bonus: Sexuality Beyond Sex

Greetings, Dateology community! Candice here. Jumping on to release a bonus episode & to provide you with some updates.

In this episode, I explore the idea that sexuality beyond sex could involve moments of deep connection with God, providing a sense of oneness and fulfillment. This perspective could empower singles to find fulfillment outside of traditional sexual experiences, promoting a holistic understanding of sexuality.
