Out And About – Conversations with People on the Street about Questions That Matter: Can Sex Be Sacred?

This week we consider 'Can Sex Be Sacred?' “We are sexual creatures: made by sex, sustained by sex - and if we are foolish - destroyed by sex. What we are now is a result of sex. What we will be depends upon our use of sex. Our relationship to sex shows us who we truly are inside. Sex is a mirror into our soul. Let us peer into the basis of all life - sexuality - and discover who we truly are, and what we can become.” Sacredsex.org.  

In a culture that emphasises the physical side of sex is there any room to think of sex as something that potentially engages our soul as well as our emotions? Can sex be erotic and sacred? Or does hot sex preclude it being spiritual? If you think about sacred sex, what does that mean to you? 

What do you think? Ruth Copland gets the views of people on the street for our Out and About feature.
