Chicago – Suzannah Weiss, also known as Shoshanna Blanca, is bringing her performance art project Jesus Christ Pornstar to a wider audience with a message for people who have been taught that spirituality and sexual freedom cannot coexist.
Jesus Christ Pornstar blends body art, music, prayer, educational videos and erotic performance to explore the body in relation to divinity, sexuality and gender. Its two central video and image series revisit biblical stories from new perspectives: The Second Cumming explores enlightenment, love and forgiveness through a psychedelic reading of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, while Uncovering Eve examines women and womanhood to challenge the idea that the body is cursed. Hysterical Literature Bible Readings mix self-pleasure with prayer to evoke religious ecstasy; Jesus Lessons combines femdom with sex education; and The Porn Psychic draws upon Weiss’s background as a psychic medium to give predictions for the apocalypse (while topless in her bed, of course).
“I created Jesus Christ Pornstar to explore what happens when we stop treating the body as a problem religion needs to solve,” she said. “I want people to feel at home in their faith and in themselves without measuring their purity against someone else’s rules. A spiritual life can make room for curiosity, respect and pleasure.”
Weiss is also a feminist writer and sex educator who has spent a decade examining women’s bodies, pleasure and sexual agency. She is the author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject and Eve’s Blessing: Uncovering the Lost Pleasure Behind Female Pain, winner of the 2026 AASECT Book Award for General Audience. Now a PhD student in clinical sexology, she is writing her dissertation on religious sex workers and how they reconcile their vocation with faith.
Weiss also creates solo content focused on female pleasure, now available on MakeLoveNotPorn and coming soon to Ersties.
