Recently, the term “puriteen” has been used regularly online, especially on TikTok and Instagram. The term was created to describe a person who is perceived to be “sex-negative” because they aren’t receptive to the online discourse around sexual freedom. Sex negativity refers to a mind-set that sex is inherently dirty, dangerous, risky, pathological or deviant.
Ask your children if they have heard this term or seen it used online. Has "puriteen" been used to describe themselves or their friends? What is a biblical response to this term?
