      ab: This article focuses on the intersections of sex, spirituality, and queerness within Black Latinx Caribbean contexts, as explored in the book *Circuits of the Sacred: A Faggotology in the Black Latinx Caribbean* by Carlos Ulises Decena. It highlights the challenges of articulating the intimate and sacred dimensions of queer sexual experiences amid social and political oppressions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing sex as a site of both pleasure and spiritual connection. The discussion includes reflections on liberation theologies, the role of artists like Dominican rapper Tokischa in challenging cultural norms, and the complexities of relating sex and the divine beyond traditional frameworks. The article also underscores the value of collective memory, embodied experience, and the ongoing struggle to resist institutional pressures that seek to sanitize or marginalize queer expressions of desire and spirituality.
