Long perceived as major sources of social, political, economic, and even esoteric power, sexuality and religion are logical partners for sociological study. Although each is individually the subject of a significant subfield within sociology, in combination they have received less scholarly attention to date than they are due. Nevertheless, there is a significant body of work already in place on their many and varied connections – enough to point innovators in several fruitful directions. The key connections between these two powerful social institutions lie in religious ritual, social structure and social control, and boundary creation and maintenance
