What would you call a business combining sex and religion?

Sep 03, 2009 12:48

I've been trying to figure out how I create some extra work out of my two greatest interests: religion and sex. These are also two areas in which I actually have some training, so I figure I might as well do something with them! But what in the world do you name a business that combines sex and religion? Part of the problem is I don't have a clear ( Read more... )

Body & Soul (or something along those lines)

what.. no neopagan cult with grecian temples for bachanalian excess? arthurthedented September 3 2009, 19:46:24 UTC

I mean.. if youre going to combine sex and religion .. have some fun and make some money after all... Let the state choke on its various laws that all have 'except for religion' exemptions (taxes are just ONE place you could make them twitch ( ... )

I was asked in high school what my ideal career was and I answered "temple prostitute" - my career counselor thought I was being smartmouthed. I wasn't. And I actually have no problem with the idea of practicing said career today, but my current commitment to a monogamous partner leaves me looking for other avenues for my interests. Just to expand a little on the other ideas ( ... )

I think running a Religion Agency would be really great! It would take a lot of time to research and set up, but could actually be profitable.

I imagine that you'd have different levels of service:

1. For a small monthly fee, allow people access to your searchable database of religious agencies. (This is like the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).)
2. Counsel people and point them to a religious agency that might work for them. (This is like searching MLS for someone and giving them the addresses to check it out for themselves.)
3. Counsel people and escort them to religious agencies, like property tours. (And this is a full buyer's agent gig.)

I think that I would pay for #1. And I can imagine others who would be interested in #2 and #3.

Can't think of how to tie sex into it, though. :( But of the names on the list, I think Sacred Union would fit best with this business model.

Did you forget about Plato's Pagan "Temple"? I doubt after that it would be easy to get such a thing going in Austin.

Joyful noise, totally!

By the by, we're planning a trip up to Austin later this month... want to hang?

rowan_elizabeth September 3 2009, 20:22:52 UTC

Absolutely! Remind me the day before you are coming and then call me when you get into town. How long are you staying, and do you already have specific plans?

We're planning on coming up either friday or Saturday (27th-ish) and leaving Sunday... not necessarily early... Are seeing Keira from Kallisti, you and the Merispork, and some friends of Marni and I's (but mostly Marni's). Will call you... but would like to call you sooner... just to bug you ;)
I haz more questions on the whole sex-god-Co. thing

Why can't you guys come up this weekend? Then we could all hang! :) There's a rave at the Travis center Saturday.

"Oh God, Oh God" is pretty classy.

Original Sin.

PS: my mom's choir is called "joyful noise," but UUs aren't really the litigious types, so go for it.
