Brace yourselves!! What follows is a paraphrase from:
"The Catholic Catechism...." by J.A.Hardon, S.J (no pun intended)
First the sexual organs are good and beautiful because they have been given to
us by God for a good and noble purpose...
Second coitus in marriage is also good and beautiful because of its two-fold
God given purpose......
Third, sex among Christians, is essentially UNSELFISH because it is directed
toward others...offspring and the partner.....
Fourth when sexual intercourse is used for selfish purposes it is disoriented
by Christian standards.....(my note this means porno among others)
Fifth there must be a morally good reason for any action that brings sexual
stimulation....
Married sexual activity is sacred and its use outside of marriage is a
profanation of a holy thing.
end of paraphrase
