A Mature Approach to Sexuality, Theological and Otherwise

The Pagan and polytheist plural viewpoints on these matters would likely agree on several of the following points: 1) sexuality is a beautiful gift, and one in which the gods can be experienced by humans; 2) children become sexual beings when they are teenagers, and need to be educated and nurtured during this difficult time in ways that are respectful, appropriate, and affirmative; 3) the human body in all of its diverse organs is beautiful, and can be viewed uncovered without the necessity of sex, sexualization, or exploitativeness being a part of the equation. If more of the commenters on the performances Sunday had views such as these, there would not have been nearly as much of an uproar; and if the producers and performers likewise had such ideas, their performances, their dances, and their songs would have never existed. I will leave you readers to decide whether the latter would be a good thing or a bad thing.
