Bethany Beal was 30 years old when she had her first kiss. As a devout Christian, she and her husband, David Beal, decided to save nearly all physical intimacy for their wedding night. Before getting married, the now 35-year-old built a social-media following with Girl Defined, a YouTube channel she shares with her sister Kristen Clark. They uploaded videos with titles such as “Physical Boundaries in a Romantic Relationship” and “Erotica: Should Christian Women Read It?”
Now her Instagram, which has 43,000 followers, sings a decidedly different tune. “Biggest O tip that will explode your pleasure,” reads a recent post. “Don’t wait for the bedroom to get turned on,” advises another. Almost all of her videos direct followers to her Ultimate Sex Course for Married Women, a $169 book of the sexual wisdom she’s accumulated during her marriage. Chapters range from “Making Sense of Orgasm” to “God’s Beautiful Design for Your Sexuality.”
