In Christian tradition, the anointing of the sick dates back to apostolic times, becoming a recognized sacrament by the 8th or 9th centuries. It signifies strengthening and healing through oil anointing. While many associate it only with imminent death, it can be for anyone needing strength during illness. Similarly, in our Sacred Sex series, this symbolic act of using oil appears repeatedly. In a modern context, a young man seeks a masseur for lower back pain, where healing involves oil application, massage and sexual energy.
