Sex in Current American Paganism
Presented by Lasara Firefox.
Paganism is a quickly growing religion with a unique take on sexuality. Most
American Pagans are sex positive, and many practice polyamory, which means
loving many. Yet, there is a sexual underside to the culture as
well. With the breaking of many sexual taboos, there has been some confusion
about which taboos are reasonable to adhere to. This presentation will
address the female-centered, sex-positive aspects of American Paganism, as
well as the more complex aspect of intergenerational culture and sex taboos,
and the conflicts between counter- and mainstream cultural beliefs.
