From the article of Teresa Morales Garcia published in the 14 Aug. 2018 titled "Casual sex? Of course I do." The author defines casual sex as a practice with someone without an affective bond or commitment. In addition, "this type of sexual practice in which there is no stable relationship or a minimum of sentimental obligations between the two people, not only cannot be bad, but functions as a stress inhibitor and helps to feel better humorous about everything." With this author's thought, I wonder what that sexual experience can occur without Eros, without being in love, and that this Eros includes other things besides sexual activity? Sexuality that is common to all of us and entirely common to all people, but a properly human variety of it that develops within "love", what I call Eros.
Sexuality can
act without eaves or as part of the eaves. I believe that it is the absence or
presence of the Eros that makes the sexual act "impure" or
"pure", degrading or beautiful, illicit or lawful. If all those who lie
together without being in love were detestable, then we all came from a
dishonorable line.
According to
many cultures, most of our ancestors married at an early age the couple chosen
by their parents, for reasons that had nothing to do with the Eros. They were
going to the sex act without someone else. And they did well: Christians and
honest husbands and wives who obeyed their fathers and mothers, fulfilling each
other, and forming families in God's fear.
On the other
hand, this act performed under the influence of a high and iridescent Eros,
which reduces the role of the senses to a minimum consideration, can
nevertheless be a simple adultery, can break the heart of a wife, deceive a
husband, betray a friend, stain hospitality and cause the abandonment of
children. God has not wanted the distinction between sin and duty to depend on
sublime feelings. This act, like any other, is justified or not by much more
prosaic and definable criteria; by the fulfillment or breaking of a promise, by
justice or injustice committed, by charity or selfishness, by obedience or
disobedience. My treatment of the subject despises mere sexuality, that is,
sexuality without eaves for reasons that have nothing to do with morality.
Sexuality is an
essential, constitutive characteristic of the human being. It's what makes a
man and a woman. It is the substantial way of being of the person, not just a
simple attribute or a functional capacity of it. As a "unity of soul and
body", the person is marked by sexuality throughout his being and
throughout his existence, sexuality affects the person integrally and
dynamically: from the structure of his cells, through his organic
configuration, to his psychic and spiritual life. The sexual differentiation of
the individual is already present in the creative project, as male and female
the person is the image of God (Gen 1:27); its meaning consists in the
reciprocal integration of the two members of the couple ("the two will be
one flesh". Gn 2:24) and in the task of procreation ("be fruitful and
multiply": Gen 1:28), Sexuality, as it belongs to all human beings, is
also marked by sin. The estrangement of God also leads to disorder in the
sexual sphere so it leads us to occasional sex (casual sex).
conclusion
It is important to take account of the procreative dimension the responsibility arises to decide whether and when to procreate, that is, responsible procreation and to face the fruit of procreation as in front of a person. Also, the dynamic idea of a sexuality that accompanies and determines the becoming and being of a person finally derives the importance of a sexual pedagogy that helps to discover and live the sense of love and sexuality, which is decisive for the meaning of man's life on earth and for his future destiny.
