The Truth About Sex-Less than Meets the Eye but Less Is More Commentary on Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance by Janet R. Jakobsen and Ann Pelligrini

Stimulated by Jakobsen and Pellegrini's Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance, this essay is an effort to extend the value of their contribution by including a psychoanalytic perspective within its purview. My intent is to bring psychoanalytic readers into this discussion and improve the psychoanalytic theorization of sexuality as well as to address cultural issues that reflect the influence of psychoanalysis. I argue that embedded in the psychoanalytic and colloquial theories of sex is a commonly held belief that “good” sex is necessarily linked to reproductive behavior and that sex apart from this particular regulation constitutes danger and pathology. To promote Jakobsen and Pellegrini's view of sex as intrinsically valuable and worthy of free exercise, this specific linkage must be refuted and replaced with an independent sexual phenomenology that illustrates sex's value-producing nature.
