EP497 - Can You Be Spiritual and Sexual?

Author: Dr. Nazanin Moali, Ph.D, Psychology of Sex | Couple Therapy | Sex Education June 30, 2026 Duration: 26:47

Welcome to Episode 497 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Shoshanna Blanca who speaks to me about bridging sexuality and spirituality, healing sexual shame, and reclaiming the body as sacred.


In this episode, I speak with Shoshanna about her provocative and deeply personal project, Jesus Christ Pornstar, and the spiritual journey that inspired it. She shares how psychedelic experiences helped her reimagine the relationship between the body, pleasure, faith, and divinity. Together, we also discuss how sexuality and spirituality do not have to exist in opposition, especially for people who have grown up with shame-based messages about desire, pleasure, and the body.


Shoshanna Blanca is a feminist writer, sex educator, performance artist and model who deconstructs shame-based narratives around sexuality through body liberation, spirituality and visual storytelling. Through her work, she inspires audiences to reject limiting ideas of beauty, modesty and self-expression and reclaim confidence, authenticity and ownership of their bodies.


In this episode, you will hear:


  • Bridging Sexuality And Spirituality
  • Healing Sexual Shame
  • Reclaiming The Body As Sacred
  • Jesus Christ Pornstar
  • Psychedelics And Spiritual Awakening
  • Religion And Erotic Freedom
  • Women’s Desire And Empowerment
  • Sexual Repression And Pain
  • Reinterpreting Biblical Messages
  • Finding Sex-Positive Faith
