Kinky Christian Sex: : Theology, Ethics and Practical Advice for Erotic Spanking

Book excerpt: Have you been attracted to BDSM or spanking and wondered if it was consistent with your he Christian faith or modern values? This book explores the psychology, theology, and history behind erotic spanking and some forms of sexual kink and the Christian faith. So many books on Christian sexuality devolve to a list of approved behaviors, and reinforces shame for any desires outside of those approved behaviors. This leaves the Christian attracted to kink feeling empty and asking why they have these desires that can't seem to pray away. Instead, this book focuses on the Godly purpose of sex and allows the reader to explore non-typical sexual desires as an identity rather than as a shameful behavior.As a former pastor and current psychotherapist, the author cares deeply about issues of faith, shame, and relationships. She writes this book from a deeply personal place, with personal stories and anecdotes alongside scientific research. She herself is a kinky Christian that spent most of her life struggling with secrecy and shame until "coming out" to her husband of many years and beginning her kink exploration."...insightful, detailed, and easy to read."
