| Résumé: | This article addresses sexual politics in black churches, particularly the expectation of heterosexual marriage as a prerequisite for morally acceptable sexuality. This article emphasizes the moralizing of heterosexual monogamous relationships (coerced monogamy) over all other unions by interrogating black marriage historically and religio-culturally. Using as case studies Lydia Meredith and Rev. Riva Tims narratives, I explore black churchwomen's tensions around sex, sexuality, gender, and marriage. Ultimately, this article presents a womanist articulation of erotic relationality that rejects coerced monogamy by turning towards polyamory and a deconstruction of the link between sexual pleasure and monogamy. |
