Episode 1 • Sep 19, 2010
In Praise of Sex
Throughout history, sex and religion have often been strange bedfellows. But more and more people are working to bring the worlds of sex and religion closer together. Much closer.
Episode 2 • Sep 26, 2010
Divine Art
Reaching as far back to the ancient civilizations of Greece and the Orient, sexuality and religion have often combined to create artistic inspiration. In fact, Renaissance artists used religion as an excuse to depict sexuality. The question today is how far can artists go in depicting sex in a religious context. At what point do religious objections venture into censorship?
Episode 3 • Oct 03, 2010
Virginity
Why in most of the world's major religions is virginity so highly prized? In this episode we will explore the notion of purity. We will journey to South Carolina where daughters, at a formal father-daughter dance, pledge to remain virgins until marriage and travel to France, where "re-virginization," a surgical procedure to reconstruct the hymen, has become very popular with Muslim women.
Episode 4 • Oct 10, 2010
Sex + Religion on Display
Mixing the worlds of sex and religion is tricky at the best of times; presenting it for the world to see is another thing entirely. This episode explores the consequences of bearing your creative soul...in public.
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 1969
Episode #1.5
What do religions say about contraception? Is it a religious issue or also an issue of human rights? In the 21st century, contraception is no longer just about family planning. It's also about saving lives. Are religious views outdated or are moral values absolute and unchanging?
Episode 6 • Oct 24, 2010
Polygamy
Some experts cite 40 polygamous relations in The Bible. Based on this, early Mormons practiced polygamy. A century ago, however, mainstream Mormonism rejected polygamy. But despite it being illegal in North America, sects of Fundamentalist Mormons still practice polygamy. Mohammed had four wives in the Qu'ran so Islam accepts polygamous marriages.
Episode 7 • Dec 31, 1969
Episode #1.7
It's a dramatic understatement to say that religion has a problem with pornography but it's an issue largely hidden from sight. In the West the issue of how to deal with the effects of pornography is paramount, but in the world of Islam, the question of what is and what is not pornographic still takes center stage.
Episode 8 • Dec 31, 1969
The Wedding Night
The beginning of a couple's life together as husband and wife marks an important turning point in each of their lives. For those who due to religious observance are virgins the anticipation of the sexual consummation on their wedding night can run the gamut from thrilling to terrifying. This episode will explore what - if anything - exists in the way of instruction for the pious.
Episode 9 • Nov 14, 2010
Prostitution
In the Old Testament, Tamar, twice widowed and childless, disguises herself as a prostitute to get what's rightfully hers - and the Bible totally approves of her and yet the Whore of Babylon is associated with the Anti-Christ. These days most churches disapprove and exclude sex worker. What is the relationship between the prostitution and religion?
