Sanctity of Sexuality: Boundaries Defined

Sexuality is to be treated with integrity and respect, as it is not appropriate to engage in sexual relations with someone else's spouse, of the same gender, or through prostitution. Sexual acts should not be integrated into worship practices or rituals. Historical directives emphasize modesty in worship settings, exemplified by priests wearing undergarments to prevent inappropriate exposure. The clear boundaries delineated for human sexuality include prohibitions against premarital sex, bestiality, group sex, and non-consensual acts. These principles of appropriate and inappropriate sexual expression have been consistently communicated for thousands of years.
