Answer to Question 1

St. Paul and other founders of the religion condemned sexuality in a way found in neither Hebrew nor Greek thoughtnor anywhere in the teachings of Jesus. All sex outside of marriage was considered sinful. Chastity was a virtue, and celibacy, or abstaining from sexual intercourse, was a sign of holiness (Bergmann, 1987). The result was that the average Christian associated the pleasure of sexuality with guilt (stark, 1996). Thomas Aquinas's strong condemnation of sexualityand especially homosexuality, which he called the worst of all sexual sinsset the tone for Christian attitudes toward sexuality for many centuries.

Answer to Question 2

Honor crimes occur most frequently where female chastity is of utmost importance, including the places like Middle East and South Asia. The crimes target women whose actions, whether actual or suspected, violate the honor of her family. It can include things like speaking to someone who you should not speak with, losing one's virginity, wearing inappropriate clothing, or even saying something that they are not supposed to talk about.
