This book explores the intersection in contemporary Western culture
of Catholic sexual theology and adolescent female developmental and
sexual experiences. The voices of adolescent females, so long
silent in sexual theologies, are given privilege here in the
articulation of a normative theology. Applying a feminist natural
law framework, the book engages both theoretical scholarship and
practical evidence from psychological and other social sciences to
inform sexual theology in the Catholic tradition. Attending to
gendered, developmental, and social contexts, Doris Kieser explores
adolescent females' experiences of puberty, menarche, various
sexual activities, communities of support, sexual desire, and the
pleasure and danger these realities reap. She critically explores
historical and traditional sexual theologies and prevailing social
patriarchal and androcentric sexual attitudes through a feminist
lens. The author's attention to the voices of girls and women, and
her aim to see their sexual flourishing in particular and diverse
social contexts, yields a theology mindful of the rich complexities
of female sexual desire, pleasure, and well-being. The result is an
integrated sexual theology that grapples with the Catholic
theological tradition, feminist theory and theology, and the
embodied experiences of females. For anyone who is invested in the
lives and well-being of adolescent females, this work uncovers both
barriers and boons to their sexual flourishing.
