  • October 28, 2014

Early Influences on Christianity
  • What initiated the rejection of human sexuality
    and sexual pleasure?

Christianity in the Bedroom
  • The Roman establishment considered Christianity
    to be a religious cult
  • The body is evil, the spirit is good

Christianity in the Bedroom
  • Prudes
  • Saint Augustine
  • Saint Clement

Christianity in the Bedroom
  • While the Bible takes a healthy view toward the
    body and sexuality, institutional religion tends
    to see those things as wicked and evil. Children
    are not taught how to think of their body. It is
    a dark, secret side of themselves

Islam in the Bedroom
  • Sexuality in Islam is largely described as being
    confined to marital relationships between men and
    women.
  • While most traditions discourage celibacy, all
    encourage strict chastity and modesty with
    regards to any relationships across gender lines
  • Intimacy is largely to be reserved for marriage

Islam in the Bedroom
  • To varying degrees Islamic law explicitly states
    that both men and women are entitled to sexual
    gratification in marriage
  • Sex is viewed in terms of both its procreational
    value and as a way to strengthen the bonds
    between a couple.
  • Issues such as masturbation and homosexuality are
    also strictly forbidden contraceptive use is
    permitted, as is abortion, though the latter
    often with great restriction.
