About this listen

This week we talk about the rise of puriteens—a portmanteau of puritans and teenagers—and how their sexphobia, suspicion, and moral policing are shaping how sex is talked about and represented online.

We discuss the prevalence of puriteenism across BookTok and other platforms, interrogating their criticisms of the dark romance genre, sex scenes in movies, and the wardrobe of Sabrina Carpenter, and examine what they get wrong about sex and sexuality — and also what they get right.

Check out Soaliha’s Substack Soaliloquy and Mitch’s Substack DIAGRAMMA.
