#92 - Sexual Imprinting

Love, Life, Legacy: A Show About Sex

Because we grow up in different types of environments, we have varying understanding or comprehension of the world through our senses and experiences. Our upbringing and the environment and community in which we were raised play a big role in shaping our lives, attitude, and personality as we interact and live from childhood to adulthood.

A child adopts or follows the actions of the people around them without the ability to distinguish between what is right or wrong. This is also when they start to build impressions. Just like children, when someone is exposed to porn, they start to build a concept in their minds of what sexuality is without having an idea of what it portrays or means. Porn will try to create a sexual template inside someone’s mind that causes them to have the wrong idea and appreciation of sexuality and relationships.

In this episode, Andrew and Benjy talk about the importance of imprinting and how it affects your impression of what relationships should and shouldn't be. They share how porn creates the wrong interpretation and expectations of people in relationships.

If you want to recondition yourself to start to imprint more with the good people around you, this episode will lead you to a vision for your sexuality, relationships, and what your sex is connected to. You’ll also get to know about the importance of clearing yourself up spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally before getting married. Listen to Episode 92 to learn more!
