Sacred Sexuality: Where Temple Priestesses, BDSM, and Queerness Intersect

Written By Alexandra Espino

In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we dive into the intersections of sacred sexuality, gender identity, BDSM and spirituality—both ancient and modern.  We uncover the hidden histories of temple priestesses, the provocative role of Inanna the Dominatrix, and how sexuality was once revered as a sacred rite of passage.

We covered things like:

  • The story of Enheduanna, the first known author and high priestess

  • The queerness of deities and its spiritual significance

  • How sacred sexuality, dominance, and fertility were woven into ancient ritual

  • Why decolonizing spirituality and gender narratives is essential for reclaiming sexual wholeness
