About
A volume of literary explorations of the many intersections of sex and religion. While many people believe the body and soul to occupy completely independent realms, the contributors to Ritual Sex demonstrate that the two share more common ground than society feels comfortable acknowledging. From personal memoirs of ecstatic revelation, to fictional quests to reconcile sex and spirit, to historical overviews of religion's obsession with regulating the libido, Ritual Sex delves into forbidden areas with gusto - providing an unprecedented look at private life.
