Sex Pollution
        Sex pollution is a concept found in cultural anthropology - specifically in the work of lrzlary Douglas.
         In her book Purity and Danger, she examined some of the different ways modern and more primitive peoples determine what is clean and unclean.
        Douglas explain ed that "dirt is essentially disorder." When we clean something, we are "positively reordering our environment, making it conform to an idea."
        When something or someone is determined to be dirty, it has been contaminated by a thing from a different category. Until it is cleaned or purified, it is partially out of order.
       In Douglas's words, "rituals of purity and impurity create unity in experience." What is out of order becomes alien, dissonant, and suspect, making everyone else uncomfortable.
            Sexual pollution occurs when the sexes interact in a way that blurs or ofÍends boundaries between males and females, arrd disorder is created between the sexes.
         In the case of men, it is usually believed that sexual pollution weakens virility and diminishes their masculine power.
        Some readers may be familiar with the primitive practice of constructing "menstrual huts" that separate menstruating women from men. Tribes that engaged in this practice viewed menstruating women as impure or tainted in some way, and believed that their feminine impurity could infect or pollute the masculine energy of the tribe's men - ultimately weakening them and making the tribe as a whole more vulnerable.
         Menstrual huts are a simple example of a practice dealing with the concept of sex pollution. There are a wide variety of other ways that cultures have sought to contain female energy to maintain an ordered separation of male and female sexual identity.
         Symbolically speaking, masculine identity always represents the creation of distance and separation from the feminine, the safety oÍ the nurturing mother, and a protected womb-like existence. Virility is established and maintained by venturing away from the world of women and out into the wild, dangerous world of the men who contend with danger and uncertainty at the edge of the cultural perimeter and beyond. Establishing a masculine identity always means establishing that men are not women through the creation or revelation of contrast between the sexes.
