Coitus Interuptus

[anjoh66]

Hi!

I have a question. Is coitus interuptus allowed according to the churches teachings?

In my point of view it would not fall into the same category as contraceptives as it is possible that the woman could concieve even if it is practised

Contraception is a deliberate act to frustrate the chances of conception during an individual marital act. So, yes, withdrawing is still contraception. There is still a chance of conceiving with any contraceptive method…even sterilizations.

Absolutely not! Read the story of Onan in Genesis, it’s the original sin against human sexuality, which God punishes most severely.

It is not allowed.

The marital act must be unitive and procreative each and every time. No exceptions. Withdrawing before ejaculation is frustrating this and making it an act about oneself and not about the couple.

I just posted this somewhere else but it will ring true here as well:

I think that Pope John Paul II does a magnificent job of stating this in a much better, more concise way than I can when he says in his Familiaris Consortio:

*“the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality." *

No. It is contraception. It is known as the sin of Onan, and is most definitely not “allowed.”

You are incorrect in your reasoning. The intrinsically disordered nature of contraception has nothing to do with it’s effectiveness. All contraceptives have a “possibility” of failure. That is not what makes the act right or wrong.

Contraception is any act that deliberately attempts to render an act of intercourse infertile. The act of intercourse must be completed in the proper way-- vaginally. Withdrawing does not complete the act. It contracepts the act.

Wow - I totally misinterpreted what folks are talking about here. I thought Coitus Interuptus was when the baby starts crying over the monitor and cuts short the “lovin”. Surely, you’re not claiming that as sinful, but perhaps something else?

**
Coitis Interuptus= withdrawl before completing the act, on purpose to lessen the chances of conception.

Being interrupted by anything external is not a sin**

It is interesting to note though that we don’t follow the Jewish laws, (there is another thread on sex during your period) nor most other aspects of Jewish worship yet we do seem to base a WHOLE lot in regards to our contraception argument on this one story. As story which many disagree with us on it’s actual meaning and why he was killed. Outside the CC most do not believe he was killed for pulling out, he was killed for not following Jewish law. Now we know the normal punishment was not death so thus assume the sever punishment was because of contraception. From a Biblical research perspective I believe most would say we are reaching on that one.

However that is what the Church teaches at this time and thus, yet it is considered a mortal sin.

I thought the Roman Catholic Church allowed “natural” birth control,
intended as one that doesn’t prevent conceivement by chemical (pill) or physical(condom, IUD, etc) means.

By natural the church means using the womans God given cycle of fertility and non fertility. The does not permit any “thing” or action that interferes with a conjugal act.
Coitus interruptus is contraceptive in nature. It interferes with the conjugal act.

No, it is not allowed as it renders the sex act not open to life.
