We investigated the intersection of religion and boundaries placed around sex using qualitative data from 198 highly religious Muslim, Christian, and Jewish families. Coding performed by two researchers resulted in six core themes that provide insight into the connection between these two domains. Frequency counts of the core themes, participant quotes, and implications are presented-including the benefits of practitioners inquiring into how clients' faith affects sexual behavior and scripts, how fidelity and vows might serve a protective function for the relationships of highly religious couples, and how religion may empower women in terms of sexual boundary setting.
我们使用来自 198 个高度虔诚的穆斯林、基督教和犹太教家庭的定性数据，研究了宗教和性行为边界之间的交集。由两位研究人员进行的编码产生了六个核心主题，深入了解了这两个领域之间的联系。核心主题的频率计数、参与者引述和启示都呈现出来，包括从业者询问客户的信仰如何影响性行为和脚本的好处，忠诚和誓言如何为高度宗教夫妻的关系提供保护功能，以及宗教如何在性边界设定方面赋予女性权力。
