"Christian Woman" is a single by gothic metal band Type O Negative from their 1993 album Bloody Kisses. It is one of two songs (the other being "Black No. 1") that people credit with propelling the band into the mainstream.[2] The song is inspired by a real woman Peter Steele was once romantically involved with. Steele told Revolver, "She was a Roman Catholic, much as I am, but she would get off on breaking the rules a little bit. She would ask me to dress up as a priest and, well, I guess you can just imagine what would happen after that. So, I guess you could say I have a bit of a priest infection."[3]

Christian Woman — второй сингл американской готик-метал группы Type O Negative, и второй с альбома 1993 года Bloody Kisses. Автор музыки и текста — Питер Стил. Героиня песни — христианка, которой снится Иисус в её постели, и она испытывает к нему плотское влечение. Существует две версии песни: более откровенная альбомная версия, которая длится 8 минут, и 4-минутная «Butt-Kissing Sell-Out Version» с немного изменённым текстом, в котором смягчены сексуальные намёки.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
