Let’s admit it: there’s a lot of eroticism in religion and spirituality. I’ve heard stories from many women who have been required to stand before a congregation and confess their sexual sin. That is an erotic event. It is forced exhibitionism. It not only falsely publicizes the woman’s identity as a sexual object delivering pleasure to others in a graphic way, but exposes the erotic fantasies of those who require of her an uninhibited display of her sexuality. How much of male authority is an erotic impulse?
