In the Case of Casual Sex
One should not partake in casual sex, as sex that doesn’t take place in a long and commited relationship is often going nowhere. Casual sex doesn’t have enough flavourings to make it meaningful. Most importantly the greatest catalyst for sex has to be equal love, then sexual attraction, then physical compatibility.
For casual sex in heterosexual relationships often carries with it shame. Though literature, music and cinematography might praise casual sex and the liberation it presents one, which is, the lack of responsibility for the other party immediately after the act of sex has been achieved; casual sex carries with it nothing more than what has been stated above. It is a shallow means for one to satisfy one's primitive sexual desires, for as a stray dog lies with so many of its likeness, so too shall casual sex be measured.
On the Case of Pornography
One of the biggest causalities of the prominence of casual sex at present is the proliferation of sex in art, music, literature, cinematography and the supporting sciences. In particular, the prominence of pornography today. Pornography creates the feeling that everyone else is having sex, or that the acquiring of sex does not require equal love and mutual respect. Pornography emphasises the satisfaction of one’s sexual desires, without consideration of the dignity of the other party.
To that end, many who indulge in the act of watching pornography, often turn to the sex with themselves or with the use of foreign objects, namely, the accompanying act of self stimulation for the achievement of the sense of sexual pleasure. It, in so many ways, leads to the reduction of one's dignity each time one partakes in the act of sexual self-stimulation. For because no other equally opposite party is present, sexual self-stimulation represents, in so many ways, the actualisation of selfishness in one. Sex, in my opinion, is meant to be shared, to be given rather than to be received. And the participation of one in this act goes against this very principle.
On Homosexuality
On that end, on the issue of homosexuality and casual sex, this should not be engaged in, even in the slightest. One should not be tempted to try it to see whether they like it. Nor should one be deceived that they enjoy it. For the word enjoy carries the feeling of being overjoyed, and sexual stimulation by the same sex, though it might be presented as ordinary sex, does not cause either participant any slight joy. Rather, there develops the need to over-indulge in homosexual activities, in order to achieve the same euphoria that an equally loving heterosexual couple would feel in just one.
For in homosexuality, one has to take the part of the natural opposite sex, and partake in primarily for the sexual satisfaction of the other. In same sex instances between man and man, one man has to adopt the position of a natural woman, inside of whom the other man's penis is thrust. In same sex relations between women, one has to take the natural position of a man, thrusting parts of herself or foreign objects into the other woman, in order that all might attain sexual pleasure.
Man should not compel man to become woman, nor woman compel woman to become man. For, because there is no justice involved, except for the fulfilment of one's sexual desires by a member of one's same sex, it pertains to selfishness and one's own selfish desires. For if one can not open one's self to loving someone opposed to one's self, namely the opposite sex, then one can not claim to be in love. For as a good mother gives birth and thereafter loves her child, and a good father becomes the head of and provides for his family, so too does equal love pertain with it grace to give to one who does not have.
And as a man has the same features of a fellow man, and a woman the same, neither can give nor receive from a member of their same sex. To engage, then, in same-sex relations is to offer one's orifices for the selfish pleasures of the other, the product of which is sterility and a lack of fulfilment, hence the continual engagement in such acts in order to find such fulfilment and nourishment, out of which none can be found.
And so, one should abstain from same-sex relations by all possible means, for they offer no nourishment nor fulfilment, are incapable of giving (so one can only receive in these acts) and they lead to sterility and encourage selfishness in one.
