Suzannah Weiss discusses her project Jesus Christ Pornstar, blending spirituality and sexuality. She shares insights on consent, pleasure, and radical inclusion in a new Q&A.
Suzannah Weiss is a writer, sexologist, and the creative force behind Jesus Christ Pornstar. In a recent Q&A with La Voix du X, she opened up about her journey to reconcile sexuality with spirituality—and it's a conversation that might just change how you think about faith and desire.
### From Psychedelic Visions to a New Mission
Weiss traces the project back to a series of psychedelic experiences where she encountered Jesus. These visions sparked a Christian spiritual awakening that led her to reimagine what faith could look like. She describes a modern Jesus who embraces sex, psychedelics, and New Age spirituality—as long as they promote well-being.
Through projects like Uncovering Eve, The Second Cumming, Jesus Lessons, and Orgasmic Prayers, Weiss uses performance, body art, music, and adult content to challenge sexual shame. "My goal is to teach people how to be a Christian in the bedroom," she tells interviewer Pierre Des Esseintes.
### Redefining Purity and Pleasure
When asked how sexuality and spirituality can coexist, Weiss reframes purity. Instead of focusing on restrictive rules, she emphasizes how we treat one another. "Many social problems could be solved by placing less emphasis on arbitrary rules such as 'waiting until marriage' and prioritizing what really matters: consent, respect, and safety," she says.
She also advocates for greater attention to women's pleasure, bodily autonomy, and sexual experiences that nourish people both physically and spiritually.
### Faith, Sex Work, and Radical Inclusion
Weiss's background—raised in Reconstructionist Jewish and Quaker traditions—gives her a unique perspective. Her doctoral research examines how religious sex workers reconcile their profession with faith. She argues that sex workers can offer valuable insights into Jesus' teachings about inclusion, humility, and nonjudgment.
> "The world would be a better place if radical Christian whores ruled it!" she declares.
