In our last two episodes, we’ve been exploring the outlooks that several major religions and worldviews hold regarding the human body, sexuality, relationships, and what is taken as constituting “proper” living. In the course of that review, we’ve discerned both similarities and significant differences between those belief systems.

In this episode, we’ll return to our original goal of trying to understand how each of our subject belief systems views to important life-orientations: sex positivity, and intimacy positivity. Those two attitudes or orientations hold the key to a great deal of either satisfaction and joy, or conflict and fear, in life. For that reason, it’s worth understanding how one’s belief system affects those possibilities.
