This Sexologist's New Project Blends Faith, Feminism, and Erotic Art

What happens when you stop treating your body as a problem that religion needs to solve? That's the question at the heart of a bold new project from Suzannah Weiss, a feminist writer and certified sex educator who also performs under the name Shoshanna Blanca. She's taking her provocative performance art series, Jesus Christ Pornstar, to a wider audience, and she has a message for anyone raised to believe that deep faith and sexual freedom can't share the same room. Weiss isn't just pushing boundaries for shock value. Her work is a thoughtful, layered exploration of how we view our bodies in relation to divinity, gender, and desire. For a decade, she's studied women's pleasure and sexual agency, and now she's channeling that research into art that reinterprets ancient stories through a modern, liberated lens. ### Reimagining Biblical Narratives The project's core series tackle some of the most famous stories in the Bible, but with a twist that flips the script on traditional teachings. It's less about blasphemy and more about asking what these tales might mean when we remove the shame. - **The Second Cumming** offers a psychedelic take on Jesus and Mary Magdalene, focusing on themes of enlightenment, forgiveness, and unconditional love. - **Uncovering Eve** challenges the idea that the female body is cursed, re-examining womanhood and agency from a fresh perspective. - **Hysterical Literature Bible Readings** blend self-pleasure with spoken prayer, aiming to evoke the ecstatic states described by mystics. - **Jesus Lessons** combines elements of femdom with practical sex education, teaching respectful bedroom conduct. - **The Porn Psychic** sees Weiss, who works as a psychic medium, delivering predictions about the apocalypse from the comfort of her bed. It's a wild mix, but there's a coherent vision here. Weiss argues that spiritual life doesn't have to be at odds with curiosity and pleasure. "I want people to feel at home in their faith and in themselves," she explains, "without measuring their purity against someone else's rules." ### More Than Just Performance Weiss's credibility goes far beyond her on-camera work. As an author, she's written *Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject* and *Eve's Blessing: Uncovering the Lost Pleasure Behind Female Pain*, the latter of which won the 2026 AASECT Book Award for General Audience. Right now, she's pursuing a PhD in clinical sexology, where her dissertation focuses on religious sex workers and how they reconcile their vocation with their faith. Her background is impressively broad, spanning cognitive neuroscience, gender studies, and psychology. She draws on her own spiritual upbringing in Reconstructionist Judaism and Quakerism to build what she calls a theology for the modern world. And she's not shy about her claim to messiahhood, viewing it as part of a larger movement of people who feel called to help heal the planet. If you're interested in the intersection of sexuality and spirituality, or just want to see sacred texts handled with irreverence and respect in equal measure, this is a project worth watching. Weiss's solo content focused on female pleasure is available on MakeLoveNotPorn, with more coming soon to Ersties. You can find her creator platforms and social channels through her Linktree page, and her written work is available on her personal website.
