Sextegrity: Replacing the Marriage Ethic with a Sexual Ethic The Sex Minister, Barbara Lee Author, LLC www.barbaraleeauthor.com • 616-502-2078 Our culture has largely promoted a Marriage Ethic when it comes to sex. Such an ethic has nothing to say to our young people, gay or lesbian people who are not allowed to marry in many parts of the country, widowed or divorced people, or anyone who isn’t married. It also implicitly condones abusive and demeaning behavior as long as it takes place within a legally recognized union. This workshop will explore the Marriage Ethic and why it needs to be replaced by a Sexual Ethic. The elements of a Sexual Ethic will be discussed and participants will have the opportunity to draft their own Sexual Ethic while also exploring how this can be a useful tool for students. |
