ritual sex
Ceremonial intimate union
Sexual activity performed as part of a religious ceremony, spiritual practice, or formalized tradition rather than purely for pleasure or reproduction.
Ritual sex appears in various cultural and religious contexts—from ancient fertility rites to modern tantric practices and some neo-pagan traditions.
The acts are typically structured by prescribed roles, timing, or symbolic meaning: The cult's initiation included ritual sex between the high priest and new members.
