Well, hey friend, welcome to Job with Julie, hosted by me Julie Slattery. Let me remind you that this

podcast is listener supported. It's an outreach of the were little. Do you remember how it went? I think some women if they're lucky they

received the most basic explanation of female sexuality with probably a few words

about pregnancy and menstruation followed by a quick wrap-up. Well thanks to today's guest

I'm learning that for many men the sex talk was even more bare bones as

short as just passing a condom or a quick don't get a girl pregnant.

Sam Jalman is my guest today and Sam is a licensed professional counselor and the author of

the book The Sex Talk You Never Got, reclaiming the heart of masculine sexuality.

Over his years as a counselor, Sam has worked with many men navigating marital issues and sexual

abuse recovery.

As you'll hear, he has discovered that a lot of men were not given the tools they needed

to develop a healthy, more complete view of sexuality.

This is a conversation that I think is going to be healing for a lot of us,

both men and women. So grab your Java and join me in listening in to my conversation with Sam

Jolman. Well, Sam, I am super excited to talk about this book that you have just written.

It is a fantastic read.

Reading it, I can see all of the influences in your life,

like John Eldridge, Larry Krab.

There's a lot of J-stringer in there.

I'm like, okay, like we're reading some of the same people and it just comes out beautifully. So thank you for creating this resource.

Julie, thank you. That is such a gift of a review. Thank you so much.

I'm glad those influences came through.
