Are Australians not Euro-descended? I noticed many among them are blonde and blue-eyed. More often than people from the UK or USA. Native Aborigines look very different.
Yes they are of British descent.
Well maybe "attractive" was the wrong choice of word. As a western man you can find exotic women sexually exciting (esp. if you have been conditioned towards it by watching interracial porn), but you don't really love them.
I’d agree with you that pornography may have brought on fetishes for other races for certain men, but I don’t agree with your claim you can’t love a woman of another race.
Again I agree that in the best case scenario..say someone is, and I’m going to pick a random country here, Romanian Orthodox. They should try to find a Romanian Orthodox woman to marry.
What if this person emigrates to the United States to a place where there are few or no Romanians? Should they be permanently single? I don’t think so.
Don't confuse lust with love. As a man can only feel real love and respect for a woman of your own blood and tribe, for a woman who looks as if she could be your sister, who reminds you of your mother and other female relatives.
I laughed out loud for real reading this because I thought you were now insinuating something…I see what you’re saying (I think) but I’m not going to even address it or go there man. Let me just say a scene from Back to the Future comes to mind.
That's how men in Christian societies did it in the past, for example in the European middle Ages. You can't have a society full of celibate monks, that doesn't work in the secular world. Both married and unmarried men used to visit legal brothels. Heck, Vatican City had its own brothels in Rome.
Ok…even if this is historically accurate and I don’t think you are making this up, how in the world is this in compliance with Christian teaching? I don’t see how such a system would help men reach salvation.
Thomas Aquinas likened prostitution to the canalisation of a city - a dirty institution that is necessary to divert harmful desires of men away from honorable wives/mothers as well as young girls aiming to become a wife/mother one day.
I’m going to have to look this up, but I reiterate that this would lead to more perversion and a sinful society as a whole. Prostitution in any form just can’t be good.
Widespread Prostitution may have led to STDs but it also prevented rapings and perversions like masturbation or homosexuality from spreading within the Christian society.
What's evil is masturbation and casually "dating" girls before marriage, not seeking relief in legal prostitution.
It’s an interesting take for sure man. I don’t think the forum is ready to go down this path…
But look I get it. The teachings of the faith are clear on adultery. Your position is in the Middle Ages or arguably today it’s not practical. We can’t deny many people are hypocrites when it comes to sexual purity. Most of us on this forum came from debased backgrounds. Even priests and high ranking officials in the church have been outed as gay or having mistresses.
So what’s your position? It’s all a facade? Masturbation is a greater sin adultery?
I see the teachings on chastity as an ideal we should all strive for.
