Episode 17 - Sex and Spirituality
"Spirituality is Sexy"


Show Notes

This episode we explore the correlation between sexuality and spirituality.

Sex:
1. sexual activity, including specifically sexual intercourse
2. either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions

- How does right and wrong come into play with sexuality?
- Is sex more than just a good feeling and/or procreation?
- What role does religion play in sex?
- If there's no spirituality involved, why do we invoke God's name during sex?
