@jaacknffc It strikes me as a promiscuity problem.Promiscuous culture wins what makes banning it so hard, and any sane nation would ban the practice otherwise
@iam_shwa@isaCatholicGuy not really, we are not consequentialists as catholics, at least not to the degree that it can change what we are taught in natural law, which is fairly basic
@metathomist I think a man's labour should also not be commodified. It is unique to him. I'm loving that Catholic social teaching and Catholic economics are making a return
@CraigOnan@metathomist I think the deserving of eternal damnation part is a bit outside the scope of this conversation. we are just discussing whether through reason it can be understood to be sinful, which it in fact can. also interesting last name regarding this discussion.
@iam_shwa@isaCatholicGuy By masturbating you're discarding your body's generative material. Everything from arousal to climax can be understood through reason to be ordered primarily towards procreation and secondarily towards union with a spouse. Basically masturbation frustrates both of those faculties
@calvinrobinson This would likely lead to false conversions and deeper infestation of our institutions, requiring a second inquisition. Just being frank
