Outrage over sexual freedom movements

[ConstantLearner]

So is my oldest brother! I have a niece who was born on my third birthday.

I have a niece who’s a year older than I am. (Women in my family tend to start having children early.)

I’m chuckling as I type this - yeah, you beat me.

 

[ConstantLearner]

So would it be sinful to just not date because you don’t wanna work that hard at relationships or raising kids

I don’t think it would be sinful. It would be worse to marry someone you didn’t love and didn’t want to work to build a life with. But at seventeen, you should be having friendships and fun. Go to college. You’ll probably fall in love some day. Most do. Not everyone does. It’s no sin if you don’t.

 

[SacredHeartBassist]

I’m 27. Not 17

I’d call it a draw. My mom had not had menopause when I was born, but she was getting close.

 

[ConstantLearner]

Oh, sorry! I got you confused with another poster who said he was seventeen. Well, it’s no sin to not want to marry and work that hard at a relationship.

Complete abstinence will degrade a relationship because it will erode intimacy generally for many couples. It’s not just about giving up the physical pleasure

Are you the youngest in your family? I am not! I have a sister one year younger and two brothers in between me and my oldest sister.

 

[ConstantLearner]

Hope I didn’t interject. Part of what I see as my job is education.

It’s a discussion. All are free to contribute.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

Exactly. I don’t exactly see how prolonged abstinence prevents you from hugging, cuddling, dancing, kissing, etc. There’s plenty of non-sexual romantic gestures.

 

[BoomBoomMancini]

Again, you may just not get this as an abstinent 17 year old.

And Cajun, I take your point but there’s a difference between being abstinent at 40 and abstinent at 70.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

“…But men need “relief” from time-to-time or problems can ensue.”
@ConstantLearner This is a lie. This is a particularly dangerous lie, as it is used by both Catholics and non-Catholics to justify the particularly nasty habit of masturbation. Men do not need “relief” at all. No problems will ensue from chaste abstinence.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

You’re right, I probably don’t. However, it still seems odd that sex is a requisite part of physical intimacy in marriage. What about Mary and Joseph?

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

I fell into that trap. I have personal experience with all of it and as much as that hurt me, I know better now and I can make sure my children will.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

So essentially, don’t rely on NFP if there’s factors that affect female bodily rhythms.

 

[Mi_Rose]

There are always factors. You just have to know them.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

Well yeah, I meant ones that have caused unpredictability.

 

[2towers]

If your blood is boiling now… just wait till you get to college.

 

[CaptainPrudeman]

It’s that bad? I thought that the “Super liberal college campus” was just some stupid Alt-right meme.

 

[2towers]

It depends on where you go of course, but yeah, its bad. It makes the period of time you are studying seem like a cake walk. It also depends on where you are as well.
