- Sexual Ethics
- Contraception
- Catholic Church: Condemns it (sex is for reproduction!)
- Genesis: "God...said to them 'Be fruitful and increase in number.'"
- CofE: "Cannot agree with the Catholic Church's view"
- It is the couple's conscience that decides how many children they have
- Libertarian: Contraception prevents unwanted pregnancies & STIs (prevents harm)
- Dominian
- Catholic Theologian who opposed the NML theory
- Sex is a gift from God (should be celebrated between a loving couple)
- The traditional view that sex's sole purpose was reproduction was 'too narrow'
- Sex is vital in building a loving bond
- Sex is a part of love, love is a part of spirituality, so the Catholic Church must review its views
- Thought the Church should permit same-sex marriage
- Sexual experience is rooted in childhood: "we only receive it (love) and accept it n the basis that...been loved by our parents for...being ourselves, we continue to be loved by others on the same basis"
- Vardy
- Today, love will only last if both partner's needs (sexual & emotional) are satisfied
- Utilitarian relationships
- Sex outside of love (e.g. masturbation, ****, promiscuity) takes us away from our true potential
