Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

For pleasure.

The answer he was looking for, though, was "Reproduction."

To which I say:  So, where are you asking all heterosexuals who can't have children to be celibate?  I'm guessing you're already against contraception (in which case FUCK YOU, you fucking piece of shit).  Oh yeah, and you're not railing against people like Catholic_Lady either who says she times her sex so that she doesn't get pregnant (not sure how that's been working for her so well, but good for her if it works for her).  Which means she's not having sex for Reproduction either.  Yet you're not expecting any of these people to be celibate.  So it's complete and utter bullshit to use this response.

I COULD get into a lengthy discussion with you about the fact that God created periods of infertility FOR A REASON, but Cath-y might want to address her reasons herself.

What I will say is that yes, some people ARE expected to be celibate. Priests and nuns who have taken vows. Unmarried people. People whose spouses go off to war for years at a time.

If a man is unable to have sex, then he is not permitted to marry within the Catholic Church. However, if a couple is able to have sex, then they are permitted to marry even if they are not able to conceive.

But generally speaking, we regardless of one's marital status, we can't simply screw whomever we want whenever we want without some consequences.
