And neither does homosexual activity.
The proper end of erotic love, as determined by our nature as human beings, is in the co-creation and raising of children together with the beloved. It is impossible for two men and two women to do this: homosexual acts, in fact, neither unify these into one reproductive unity, nor result in procreation. All they result in is pleasure devoid of and against any ultimate meaning or fulfillment, and tend towards a lack of control over the sexual appetite, and a moral and intellectual blindness of the mind as well as disharmony and conflict among one’s passions, will, and reason.
Sure, such acts might be satisfying, as much as eating dirt might quiet your hunger, but just as eating dirt doesn’t fullfil any of the purpose of our nutritional desires, since fulfillment is not found in mere silencing of the appetite, but reaching it towards its proper object, homosexual acts don’t fulfil any if the sexual facility’s potential.
A habit of homosexual acts aims our erotic desires towards an object that by nature cannot fulfill them, which is why we say that homosexual acts are against nature, why we say homosexual desires are disordered, and why we say that these desires are enslaving, especially considering how powerful eros can easily become in the human psyche
At best, homosexual acts pervert the correct approach to a deep -even romantic- friendship by adding disordered sexual desires into the relationship. But it is more common for homosexuals, in the long term, to seek out kinks and be very promiscuous, a sign of their lack of sexual fulfillment.
Dancing, on the other hand, is a result of our cultural and social inclinations, and is not inherently wrong, except by circumstance.
Christi pax.
