Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman - and being a sexual woman is even harder. Add a system of religious belief into the mix, and it becomes almost impossible for a woman to follow, or simply to accept, her own sexual feelings and desires.
Join us for our April panel, when we’ll go to the heart of the matter by exploring the relationship that exists between formal religion, and female sexuality. Through the ages and around the world, our systems of belief have shaped our collective sense of what it means to be a sexual woman. All too often, our bodies have been equated with notions of sin, corruption and shame, and our sexual behaviours - from who we can sleep with, to when we can do it and which sex acts we can enjoy - have been dictated not by our own desires, but by the belief system in which we are raised.
When we speak up and take ownership of our own sexuality, we stand out from the crowd. The easiest choice is often to suppress our sexual wants and needs, because we know that when we speak out about them, we risk censure, negative attention or worse. We will hear from four of women who will speak frankly about how their Muslim, Hindu and Christian faiths have impacted on their sexual identities, sharing what it has meant for them to be sexual women living in a religious society, and how they have managed to reconcile their desires with their beliefs.

Scarlet Ladies
Scarlet Ladies is London’s leading community of women committed to opening conversations and breaking down stigma around women’s sexuality.
We don’t say that life is all about sex – but we do believe that society sometimes makes it hard for women to embrace that side of themselves.
Scarlet Ladies is here to change that. From chilled-out socials and open mic nights at Scarlet Home, to inspirational talks, lively panel debates or even x-rated ‘how-to’ workshops, our events empower ordinary women to accept, understand and ‘own’ their sexuality.
All women are welcome, regardless of sexual orientation or preference. By destigmatising the conversation around female sexuality, we help women grow in confidence, love their bodies and live boldly in all aspects of life, without fear or shame.
If you like what we do, visit scarletladiesuk.com to join our membership community and enjoy free event entry, exclusive members-only nights, partner discounts, free gifts and more.
