believe it is unhelpful when we create systems in which certain people in power tell other people that their sexual activity can make them morally superior or somehow exclude them from Divine love. This creates communities in which people are disconnected from their bodies, suggests that worth and love are conditional, and undermines a sense of responsibility for their own behavior. Moving the locus of control for sexuality outside of a person creates the conditions under which a person could use another person’s body sexually and blame someone else instead of taking personal responsibility.
