Liv - Sexuality In Sikhi

Monday
,

July
2012

Sexuality is a polarizing topic, which people often turn to religion seeking concrete moral pronouncements. This presentation seeks to understand the Sikh take on the issue by examining ideas from doctrine, history and lifestyle. How does Sikhi shape human behavior and what is its outlook on issues surrounding sex, pleasure, procreation, and sexual preferences? How does this outlook connect to our ideas about relationships, morality, spirituality, and society?
