| Quote (Jkrebs @ June 13 2017,11:03) | The whole thread has been pretty interesting. From the same person that gave us the fact that angels have no gender, StephenB tells us the following aspects of natural moral law, in case you needed to know and were worried about possible immoral behavior.
jdk: "Is oral sex immoral, … even limited to married couples?"
SB: "Most moral theologians say oral sex is moral only as foreplay and only if it is mutually acceptable, but it is not moral if brought to completion. That is because every sexual act, to be moral, must be open to the transmission of life upon completion. Some moral theologians say it is completely wrong regardless of context."
jdk: "Masturbation?"
SB: "Same conditions as above. Immoral as a completed act. Always wrong outside of marriage."
jdk: "Do those acts “self-evidently fulfill or conform our nature”, or not?"
SB: "The behavioral standards for the natural moral law are not always self evident. They are often the product of moral reflection and reasoned analysis. According to the natural moral law, the purpose of sex is to create a unitive bond of love between husband and wife and to procreate. The point is that the unitive function cannot be morally separated from the procreative function. Only on those conditions can the good of both spouses be preserved. Everything turns on purpose." |
