If the only time the male "should" ejaculate is inside his wife and without contraception (am I understanding Catholicism?) then there is a significant risk of pregnancy every single time (assuming both are fertile of course).
This leaves the following scenarios:
1- The man gets to ejaculate only a few times in his whole life, which has dangerous side effects. I assume CL and her husband can't have had sex many times without resulting in children... I'm not expecting an answer!
2- You have a fuck ton of children.
3- Lots of lies between spouses about the level of masturbation going on in private.
4- Getting around these rules on technicalities, in which case you may as well not have them.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. All of these seem very bad scenarios and have moral issues of their own.
Well a woman is only fertile for about 3-4 days out of the month, so avoiding that is really not so bad. And fertility monitoring actually does work really well! I had a little machine that would tell me when I was and was not fertile, so we simply didn't have sex on the fertile days. My husband and I have successfully avoided pregnancy for the first 4 years of our marriage. It isn't until now that we're actually trying.

Judging from all the expose reporting of fallen preachers and republicans, it must be about furtively enjoying something taboo.
I don't think preachers and Republicans do these things more than other people lol... it's just that when they do, it becomes headline news because they failed to follow what they preach.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
