How a Sexologist is Redefining Faith Through Erotic Art

Robert Johnson · 2026-09-01

Let's talk about something that doesn't come up over coffee often—where spirituality meets sexuality. There's a project out there that's really challenging the old idea that these two worlds have to be separate. It's making waves, and honestly, it's fascinating. Suzannah Weiss, who also goes by Shoshanna Blanca, is a writer and sexologist with a PhD in clinical sexology on the way. She's spent the last ten years digging deep into women's pleasure and sexual agency. Her latest project? It's called Jesus Christ Pornstar, and it's not what you might first think. ### What Is Jesus Christ Pornstar Really About? This isn't your typical adult content. Think of it more as a performance art project with a message. Weiss created it for people who've always been told that faith and sexual freedom can't exist in the same room. She's blending body art, music, prayer, and educational videos to explore how we relate to our own bodies through the lens of divinity and gender. The core idea is pretty simple, yet radical: What happens when we stop seeing our bodies as a problem that religion needs to fix? As Weiss puts it herself: "I created Jesus Christ Pornstar to explore what happens when we stop treating the body as a problem religion needs to solve. I want people to feel at home in their faith and in themselves without measuring their purity against someone else's rules. A spiritual life can make room for curiosity, respect and pleasure." ### Breaking Down the Project's Key Series The project unfolds through several unique series that reimagine biblical stories and themes: - **The Second Cumming:** This series takes a psychedelic look at the stories of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, focusing on themes of enlightenment, love, and forgiveness. - **Uncovering Eve:** Here, the focus shifts to challenging the ancient idea that the female body is somehow cursed, examining women and womanhood from a fresh perspective. - **Hysterical Literature Bible Readings:** This one mixes self-pleasure with prayer in an attempt to evoke that feeling of religious ecstasy. - **Jesus Lessons:** A combination of femdom and straightforward sex education. - **The Porn Psychic:** Drawing on Weiss's background as a psychic medium, this series offers predictions about the apocalypse—delivered, as she notes, topless from her bed. ### The Person Behind the Project Weiss isn't new to this conversation. She's an award-winning author—her book *Eve's Blessing: Uncovering the Lost Pleasure Behind Female Pain* won the 2026 AASECT Book Award. Right now, she's writing her dissertation on religious sex workers and how they manage to square their work with their faith. She also creates solo content focused purely on female pleasure, which is available on several platforms. It's all part of a larger mission to create a space where people don't have to choose between being spiritual beings and sexual beings. Her work asks us to consider a bigger question: Can a spiritual life actually include pleasure and curiosity, rather than just rules and restriction? For anyone who's ever felt conflicted about their own desires within their faith, this project might feel like a breath of fresh air. It's about finding a way to be at home in your own skin, and in your own beliefs, without an external rulebook.
