Its a very interesting concept, and one I learned in parocial schools. However, since I've now changed alot since then and have alot more soul searching I've realized why I took myself out of the catholic scene. Unfortunately this is one of the reasons.

I am not saying that is true or not. The bigger thing that I personally see is with pre marital sex, or sex without commitment.

Instead, its become a tool for manipulation, selfishness, and greed in todays society. I can't tell you how many women I have spoken too (very nice and wonderful people by the way) who have been in relationships and had sex, even though they were ashamed to do so. They are hypnotized into thinking that there man loves them and will always be there for them. However the men always tell them that if you truly ( ... )
