Fetish For Religious Iconography
Thanks to our old companion shame, religious iconography is fulled with sexual tension. Religion is intimately intertwined with our sex lives. Most of us are taught from a young age what we can and cannot do with out bodies by parents who cite this or that religious practice as the foundation for these "rules."
When we discover and accept our sexual selves and break free from these messages - when we learn to shift between the good lessons (don't rape) and bad ones (don't masturbate) - religious imagery and overtones can take on an erotic feel and often do. This is more common then you might think.
Go to any fetish convention and you will see people in nun habits, priests with no pants on and people cuffed and whipped on a St. Andrew's Cross - a staple piece of bondage furniture for any BDSM connoisseur.
