Negative aspects of ”Casual Sex”
There are various negative aspects of casual sex. This negative aspects have social and physical consequences. Consequently “casual sex” is of great relevance to the church and their view of celibacy.
Social Negative Effects
People who practice casual sex can fall into a state where they will develop a constant need of sex.
We could call this an addiction, so a person would focus on satisfying this “need” instead on other things. This deviates the addict person from more important things concerning his own development or in the way of becoming a valuable asset of society
“There are social conflicts over sex. For example you are protective of your sister though when you go and have sex with someone, you are with someone else’s sister. Jealous people will fight with potential competitors and so on” (Ian Clark)
Vicious Circle
It has already been stated that sex can cause addiction, looking at it in a deeper way, people could fall in a vicious circle, not to mention others can take advantage of this vicious circle.
Suppose a person is addicted to sex, obviously he is going to try to have sex at all costs. Lots of scenarios can occur, like paying for it, which in almst all the cases carries the big risk of getting sick and spreading diseases to other people and so on.
An example of people getting advantage of this vicious circle. This can occur in a lot of places. One person can manipulate the addict through sex to make the addict do things that the addict might not want to do or that are a degrataion to the addict or even worse to others. Blackmail is very common in these cases. For example in a couple either the man or the women can manipulate the other one so the addicted person will do things against their will.
Sex addiction can have many serious consequences in the workplace-
In a company for example a boss can blackmail a subordinate to have sex over a promotion or the fear of losing his job.
Or it can be even the opposite, a subordinate an manipulate a boss having sex then demanding promotions, special favors and so on. It can even get to the case of blackmailing him with sexual harassment or even if the boss is married, a lot of problems could be involved. All over an addiction to sex.

post 2 ( catholic church wants power)
The Catholic Church bases its decisions in their own legal system which is contained in different ¨holy texts¨ but most of the people involved in the church do not understand the outlaws.
It’s completely normal that people understand what their own social circle has been taught. In that way is perfectly correct that priests think everything the bible said is true and good. At the same time they don’t understand that the outside has its own laws and ways of thinking.
It’s precisely in the upper point when the trouble starts. A titanic battle of ¨what rule should be followed comes¨. The outside laws system is trying to make a peaceful and secure situation for their population. Even if the Catholic Church system try’s the same, the system is only based on some old texts and does not have any kind of legal logic and juridical process.
For centuries (5-15 th) Church was the most powerful organization in the (world) and the country that showed more interest in Catholic Church legal system was Spain; they were so into the Church ideals that they even aloud the Pope and Cardenals to make states decisions.
The greatest fear of Church is to lose its power and control over people, and that fear in the 15 century leads into one of the longest and terrifying persecution of all humanity (even bigger that Hitler´s) inquisition.
The inquisition was so big and devastating for many reasons, but the principal one, was a big problem in the Catholic law system. In those times the simple fact of accusing someone as a witch or wizard was enough proves to give capital penalty to anyone.
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially those Jews, Muslims and others coerced on pain of death to adopt the Christian religion. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II.

So after all everything they wanted was to remain in power. Power that they were and are losing because of their bad legal system and their close mind to accept, that church and state are different and separate things. And even if they chase the same purpose (peaceful existent) their own laws do not allow to anyone follow them.

Post 1 (catholic church vs women´s rights)
The people, who are in favor of abortion, think that Catholic Church is against women’s rights
A kid is the expensive possession anyone could have. Raising a child in Mexico costs almost $7000, 000 (0-18 years) if the kid is receiving an average education. If the kid is receiving an education and life style above the average the cost go into an amazing $18,000,000.
This data was given by the government of Mexico in the last survey of DIF (Desarrollo Integral de la Famila) they did say that most of the people that participate were in a ¨normal¨ family position. So the idea of dealing with such big responsibility alone doesn´t seem like a good idea for women that do not have either work or the father of the child with them.
The church is position, that they single mothers punishment should suffer their acts. Sadly they do not think about the children of poor single mothers might get.
Then is wen abortion comes into the play, as a better option.
Pressure is growing to repeal or change the abortions laws. Ministers, doctors, legislators and population experts are all joining the repeal effort. We are likely to see the laws in just a few years. But we as women must raise broader social questions, stressing our right to voluntary pregnancy and the need for collective responsibility for children. The blatant racism in the medical profession that forces sterilization in ADC mother who seek hospital abortions yet approve four times as many abortions for private patients than for ward patients must end.

It is true that all women have the right to decide for their own good in this case for the good of the baby. People should remember that a life of a new born baby depends completely on the mothers life. If the mother doesn´t have the resources to give the child a good life, the one who could truly suffer is the kid.
The church demands, that society prohibit abortion because it ends a new life. Unfortunately the church does not really care about the quality of life of these persons.
Every woman has the right to choose for her own good and for the good of its child.

Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”
Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”
There are various negative aspects of casual sex. This negative aspects have social and physical consequences. Consequently “casual sex” is of great relevance to the church and their view of celibacy.
Scientific Negative Effects
One negative physical effect , that can cause problems to a person who practice casual sex like the development of an addiction. The Church is not opposed to sex per se, but opposed to recreational sex.
“Orgasm causes a sharp high just like any other drug”- Gert Holstege (Link 2)
“There is a high then a sharp downturn. It is very addictive. To meditates , yogis and mystical Christians it is a crude damaging bliss, that ultimately makes people less blissful. The only true bliss is found in permanent things like meditation, coolness, love etc.” (Link 2)
The church only allows sex for the purpose of reproduction , not as an action to obtain pleasure. It is claimed that the orgasm and sensations you experience during sex; are as harmful and addictive as a drug.
Sex Chemistry
There is a graphical description of the brain chemistry orgasm. This chemistry (according to Holstege) is practically identical to that of the heroin rush. Using this chemistrilyngo, the orgasm, heroin or other powerful opiates cause the brain dopamine to blast or rush.
Men know this experience as a rush of blood to the head and a short blackout.Dopamine is a neural transmitter, so it facilitates thought.
Therefore during the rush the subject feels like they know a lot, are enlightened, or are getting some sort of peak experience (link 2)
So this Peak causes great pleasure but, due to the sudden lack of it, and a hollow sensation, the person will seek to once again attain this rush.
“the problem is with the crash… After the crash , the subject lacks dopamine and gets a semi-replacement for it, prolactin. Prolactin is calming and satiating, but does not inhibit thinking.” (Holstege)
During this period the dopamine is lacking , so the subject may look for another source, ( probably what just gave him his peak) and can, therefore, begin de cycle of addiction.
