The book of Genesis is not exactly subtle about its sexual content (sensual snake tempts woman, followed by childbirth and hard work), while the Medusa myth provides a complex and repulsive archetype of reductionistic sexual objectification (woman who revels in her stultifying beauty is raped, re-fashioned in the image of snakes that turn men hard).
However, in the modern US of A religion doesn't really talk about such things, so we gotta wear virtual breeches. Hence the partial nude pic, from Jamie Nelson via the Reverse Cowgirl, is below the jump.
