Nobody talks about it, but it can be hard to be an influencer. Have you ever tried coming up with ideas for new videos and Instagram almost every day? No? Well, neither have I, but based on the shit some people post, it’s clear that coming up with unique content ideas is incredibly difficult.


Take Bethany Beal, a Christian influencer who describes her role as “inspiring Christian wives to become passionate, sensual and deeply intimate lovers.” I mean, it’s better than teaching them that any sex that isn’t strictly about procreation is a sin, so we’ll take the win, I guess.



Beal recently shared a video featuring some “Christian-friendly” sex positions and they’re literally just… normal sex positions. The video features the “Amazon 2” sex position, which doesn’t look very different from cowgirl, as well as the “San Francisco Treat Cunnilingus: position which is just normal cunnilingus, and the “Gallery Sex” position, which is just horizontal reverse cowgirl. Frankly, I think it’s fine to just have one name for every sex position — it’s so hard to keep track otherwise.


Commenters were split, with many wanting to know what was Christian-friendly about these positions. One asked, “Are these in the Bible?” while several others shared their displeasure, with one person telling Beal, “This is very disappointing and not lead by the Spirit.” Meanwhile, others wanted to know which sex positions were not Christian-friendly — presumably the Devil’s Threesome, and maybe anal; some, however, argued that any position is Christian-friendly if it’s within a marriage.


In response to the mixed feedback, Beal posted a follow-up comment that read, “Just a reminder that my page and content is for MARRIED women. In a world full of anti-God relationships, p0rn, er0tica and everything else… I think we NEED more voices championing biblical marriage and SUPPORTING women trying to follow God. I’m a small voice in a sea of people preaching the opposite. I absolutely respect your decision to unfollow me :) I will continue to champion married women and share content that pushes them toward greater intimacy. ??”


She’s not wrong: Teaching Christian women that it’s perfectly okay to enjoy sex with their husbands isn’t a terrible mission in the grand scheme of things. The problem is, she got way to specific, which left her in an unfriendly position by any measure.
