Sternhauser Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) [quote name='mcts' timestamp='1296112850' post='2204968'] It's at least sexual activity. [/quote] It isn't. It's an abuse of the sexual faculty. It is stimulation of the sex organs, but it is not sexual activity. Neither is rape a sexual act. That is why the Church allows nuns to use non-abortifacient (non-hormonal) contraception in places where there is a high likelihood of rape. Sexual acts are unitive and open to procreation. ~Sterhauser Edited January 27, 2011 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus_lol Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 This thread took a very clear turn towards Stupid, when people started debating which sexual acts can be called sexual. Im not sure on what planet these semantic arguments are needed, but it isnt this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, of course, possible to commit sexual sins with one's spouse. [And not just contraception.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health care providers should cooperate with law enforcement officials and offer the person psychological and spiritual support as well as accurate medical information. A female who has been raped should be able to defend herself against a potential conception from the sexual assault. If, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already, she may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation, or fertilization. It is not permissible, however, to initiate or to recommend treatments that have as their purpose or direct effect the removal, destruction, or interference with the implantation of a fertilized ovum.[sup]19"[/sup] http://www.usccb.org/bishops/directives.shtml ~Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithLuin Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 They do. But I'm pretty sure that most of the things being obliquely discussed in this thread are sexual acts, even if they are [i]not[/i] sexual intercourse. Certainly, they are sexual sins. So, the attempts to be pedantic are obfuscating the issue rather than clarifying it. Anyway, back to avoiding a discussion of living out celibacy, albeit temporarily.

Hinter dem Horizont Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I'm 24, straight, and still a virgin. It's something people make fun of because people these days are having sex at 15 years old. Edited January 31, 2011 by Hinter dem Horizont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithLuin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 To be fair, it used to be fairly normal to get married at 15 years old....at least for girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
