how is it objectively wrong if not everyone suffers the consequences for fornication? Sexual sins is the most difficult to understand. There is no victim if both parties are emotionally stable and consenting.

You seem to be deliberately not understanding the clear teaching of the Church. You want different rules? The Church won’t change her teaching just to make you feel better. Looks like you need to start your own church

No. I’m actually agree with church’s teaching on fornication. I’m playing the devils advocate. How do I tell unbelievers when they ask me why fornication is a sin. I’m a relatively young woman. I have had friends ask. The easy thing to say is well fornication is a sin for me because I’m Catholic or that I personally couldn’t handle a purely sexual relationship. It is not my job to judge or convince. When people ask me such questions what answer should I give.

In all my years as a Catholic, I’ve NEVER - not even once - been asked that question. You must have some free-ranging conversations. :eek:

I have twice quoted you the Church teaching. That’s what you tell anyone!! It explains why.

who do you think asks me this? Men around my age.
 
I don’t think sex can be easily divorced from love. I think the reason God intended for us to have sex with a marital partner was to express love. It is very difficult for me to believe the only consequence of fornication is simply pregnancy and hell. If sex has nothing to do with love, then why wait. I think is what binds a man and a woman together. I don’t know why people act like forming attachments or bonding after sex is the wrong reaction. I don’t know why people become angry or surprised when a casual sex partner starts to grow fond of them. Sex is intimate. It is not a handshake.
 
Of course sex can be used just to pursue pleasure. It if awfully sad to form attachments or feel bonded to someone who doesn’t care or will never see you again.
 
I think I learned one of the most valuable lessons as a woman and as a Christian. You cannot make someone love you or like you. I guess sex and love can be separated, even though I don’t believe they should be. It is foolish and you can go as far as saying manipulative and deceptive for a woman to believe and hope if she sleeps with a man he will catch feelings like she does or that she can make him like her.

I don’t know why we like the people we do or why it is not always mutual. There is something, in my opinion, a little callous of a guy who sleeps with a woman who likes him, even though he feels nothing in return.

The woman is a fool. I still feels like he is using her. That’s my opinion. That is over and done with. AMEN!!!
