Can one engage in the BDSM lifestyle and be moral? And be Christian?

In this episode, the Sunday School Delinquents explore the topics of sex, bondage, submission, dominance, sadism, and masochism and how these topics are or can be discussed theologically.

Erica outlines a Christian vision for approaching love and sexuality guided by the moral theologians Margaret Farley and Caroline Simon.

Christine discusses her personal experience of doing research in an online BDSM community and some cautionary advice for seekers.

Seth does a little historical digging on the terms that make up BDSM and discusses the infamous and much misunderstood Marquis de Sade.
