Even for Catholics, there is little understanding of what Confirmation is. Originally it was intended to be a part of the Baptism ceremony (ancient Christianity) but over the millennia it has been separated from Baptism and is practiced separately, usually reserved for the early teenage years, after the reception of First Communion and Penance. It is seen as an important step, perhaps the final step, in the INITIATION of a Christian in the faith. In this scenario, we are keeping in mind the goals for the "Sacred Sex" series: Reclaiming the sacred and dispelling any lingering sense of shame. But we're also eroticizing the ritual elements in Confirmation including anointing with oil, laying on of hands and a flame. In this Confirmation scenario, an older man is initiating a younger man into the sacredness and beauty of erotic pleasure, incorporating the elements and language of Confirmation.
