Sex Work in the Christian Right - awesome article
In Sex Work: In Bed With the Religious Right, author Dagmar Herzog talks to an interviewer about how the sexual politics of the evangelical right are both repressive and graphic at the same time. He had previously researched Holocaust-era germany and noticed a parallel in how Nazis were quite condoning of sex for their own kind but portrayed jewish sex as dirty and vulgar. Herzog noticed a parallel, pointing out:
"So many saw only the puritanical and homophobic side of the religious right coin; they didn’t see the Christian vibrator Web sites or the detailed evangelical sex advice manuals."

The following also resonated deeply with me, pointing out the futility of cataloging evangelical hypocrisies. Time to lay off Bristol Palin?

Another big misconception is that the best way to resist conservatism is to expose conservative hypocrisy. One of the most important things I learned in researching evangelical sex advice and therapy culture (which is a multibillion dollar industry) is how crucial exhibitionist, preemptive confessionalism has become. Evangelical advice-givers like to brag about the wild promiscuity of their youth, and their many adulterous misdeeds, or to confess in anguish the abortions they forced on girlfriends or the porn they once so frequently indulged in, before moving on to advise others how to get onto the straight and narrow. It’s titillating. But it also preempts in advance any traditional liberal strategy of muckraking exposé of conservative incoherence. There’s nothing to expose; the sins have all been luxuriously confessed.
