sex was created by God to be a pleasing thing. The catholic tradition is exactly that; a tradition that THEY, NOT GOD started, saying that sex was for procreation. Anyone who has a bible in their house should open it up to the the Song of Solomon. This whole book is a dialog between Solomon and his wife. They go back and forth about how great and PLEASURABLE sex is and their bodies are. Sex is an awesome thing. God made it for marriage and between a man and a woman. God told us that the pattern of the world (sex promoting, bikini contests, porn, etc..)would be contradictory to this belief and it is. BUT sex as a sin is just like murder, theft, lying, cheating... IT's the moral principles that apply across the board. If you don't want to live up to them, that's fine, I won't like you any less. If you do, congrats I won't like you more, and either way God loves us the SAME.
