Nach Genre filtern
Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch, is an interview series about love and sex through the lens of Mormon upbringing. Our conversations dive into the confusing nature of growing up in Mormonism where sexuality is taught as something that's beautiful and sacred, but can only be explored after you're married- usually very quickly in between the temple sealing and the reception in the back of an '88 Mercury Tracer. Recorded in Los Angeles, we speak with post-mormons, ex-mormons, jacked-mormons, and active mormons alike about their parents' timid explanations of where babies come from, awkward bishop interviews that mostly focus on masturbation, first sexual experiences, current outlook on sex, and more.

Thu, 09 Mar 2017 - 54min - 18 - Godly Sorrow w/ Thomas Ouellette
Welcome to Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch. This week we forego our typical interview and review the seminary film Godly Sorrow starring Aaron Eckhart with non-LDS comedian Thomas Ouellette. Thomas is part of comedy team Icky Pep and sketch group Edgemont. Godly Sorrow is intended to teach the principle that there is a difference between worldly sorrow (social implications of sin) and godly sorrow (eternal implications of sin/the deep knowledge that you have offended God). It begins with a Bishop's interview, and, well, you should watch it for yourself.

Thu, 10 Nov 2016 - 45min - 3 - Jordan Michael Blake - 02
Welcome to Celestial Sex- an interview series hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch about sex and love through the lens of Mormon upbringing. This week we talk to Jordan Michael Blake, a filmmaker living in Los Angeles, about being a good boy, deciding not to go on a mission, early- and frankly adorable- forays into self pleasure, going to BYU then NYU, and a life changing road trip to lose his virginity.
We discuss the idea that early experiences with sexual images may "burn themselves on your mind" and what that means outside of belief. We reference the article "The Naked People on Your iPod"- look it up! It's a great way to teach your kids about what to do when they encounter pornography.
We also discuss the conversations Jordan had with his church leaders and parents when he was a teenager about sex, and how he dealt with shame. And how later on, he took charge of becoming the person he wants to be.

Welcome to Celestial Sex, an interview series hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch, where we have frank and open conversations with post-mormons and active mormons alike about their early sexual education and current outlook on sex. Their stories are funny, gross, revealing, and cathartic for anyone who grew up LDS. If you ever had to confess to your Bishop that you masturbated to biker porn on your dad's PC, you will be able to relate.
In this intro episode, we outline our goals for the show, introduce ourselves, and set the general tone. While the show is open about any doubts we may have regarding the LDS church, the focus of the show is on the ways we learned about sex in the context of a mormon upbringing.
Chris Duce is a comedian and filmmaker in Los Angeles. He performs at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater, makes videos for a living, and is fascinated with human sexuality.
Colin Hatch is a musician and producer in Los Angeles. His music is deeply personal, fun, and washes over you like the waters of baptism. He is also fascinated with human sexuality.
Chris and Colin are fans of Mormon Stories, Savage Lovecast, You Made It Weird, and The Work and the Glory.
