 Religion and sexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This does not mean, however, that views on sexual morality have ever been homogeneous.
In Roman society, sexual morality concentrated more on the social status of those involved, and their taboos concentrated on high-status men committing any kind of sexual act that was thought of as passive or submissive.
It could be therefore argued that the needs of the family constituted a higher morality that helped to define the sexual mores of the society as a whole.

 City Journal Autumn 1999 Modern Manhood by Roger Scruton
Sexual morality was an attempt to transform a genetic need into a personal relation.
We surround the sexual act with constraints and interdictions that are in no way dictated by the species, precisely so as to focus our thoughts and desires on the free being, rather than the bodily mechanism.
Each of us, he believes, acts in obedience to a strategy built in to our genes, which seek their own perpetuity through our sexual behavior.

 Masters & Johnson
At the time, public morality severely restricted open discussion of sexuality as a human characteristic, and specific sexual practices, especially sexual behaviors that did not lead to procreation.
Masters and Johnson were a pioneering team in the field of human sexuality, both in the domains of research and therapy.
In 1948, Alfred C. Kinsey and his co-workers, responding to a request by female students at Indiana University for more information on human sexual behavior, published the book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.

In the public debate over these fundamental issues, Catholics for a Free Choice has emerged as the voice of Catholics who support choice in all aspects of reproductive and sexual health care.
In addition, when women were asked why they were having an abortion, Catholics were 8% more likely than those of other religious beliefs to say that they did not want others to find out about their sexual activity or pregnancy.
Call or write to legislators as a prochoice Catholic to encourage their support for legal reproductive health care and programs that increase women's choices.

 obits.com, The Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Dr. William H. Masters
Human Sexual Response, despite an anticipated array of attacks from morality groups as well as old school physicians and psychologists, was eventually translated into 10 languages for release as an academic as well as general release publication.
The success of that work enabled Masters to embark upon the long and detailed process of researching human sexual behavior and dysfunction, which was funded initially by grants from the United States Institutes of Health.
A co-founder of American research into the understanding and treatment of human sexual dysfunction, Dr. William H. Masters created an uproar in the medical and private sector with his published research.

 AiG's response to PBS-TV series Evolution-Episode 5: Why Sex?
Rebuttal to Episode 1, this is a faulty distinction, and this episode demonstrates this.  Here, evolutionary psychology directly affects questions of sexual morality.
the peacock tail.  So Darwin invoked the idea of sexual selection, where choice by the opposite sex played a huge part in determining which individuals were able to pass on their genes.  Later on, sexual selection is invoked to explain the human brain.
Then the program explains male competition for mates and ornate sexual displays, while females exercise choice.  Supposedly the concept of female choice was often discounted in Victorian England (with a female head of state who ruled for more than 60 years).

 CHRISTIAN SEXUAL ETHICS
It appears to me that from a moral perspective, which is concerned with right and wrong free choices and voluntary actions, the categories of "good" and "evil," and hence also of the human good (and choices and actions which properly respect or violate this good), can be considered wider in scope than sexual symbolism.
Ronald Lawler, Joseph Boyle and William May's work treated here leaves some unanswered questions concerning a number of specific areas of sexual ethics which they only treat briefly, such as in vitro fertilization, or do not treat at all, such as Gamete Intra-Fallopian Tube Transfer (GIFT).
They also all seek to avoid a dualistic interpretation of the human being and human sexuality.

 sex change
Before addressing the morality of "sex change" operations, or what is more formally termed "sexual reassignment," we need to first call to mind the fundamental moral foundation governing this issue.
Transsexual surgery coupled with hormonal treatment and psychotherapy are used to treat the disorder transsexualism or gender dysphoria syndrome, "a condition in which there is apparent psychological and social identification with attributes of the opposite sex" (Meyer, "Psychiatric Consideration in the Sexual Reassignment of Non-Intersex Individuals" in Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1974).
A man who undergoes sexual reassignment will never really be a woman, or vice versa; rather, a man will be a man (or a woman will be a woman), except with a mutilated body and profound psychological disordering.

 TEDS Bridge - © 2001, Trinity International University (v. 1.04)
Sexual pagans believe spirituality, morality and sexuality are all the same thing, and so they assume sexual passion itself is what generates the morality of sexual on the spiritual level.
This means the problem for sexual morality has less to do with justifying specific kinds of behavior as it does with overcoming the "illusion" of separation.
And, finally, we agree when sexual pagans say sexual morality depends on the spiritual power that runs the universe, decides the destiny of our souls, and determines the morality of human conduct.

 The Liberal Arts and Sexual Morality
That is the justification for all morality, both the morality of honest education and scholarship (that is, nonaborted, nonraped, noncontracepted scholarship) and the parallel morality of honest sexuality.
The roots of the sexual revolution are not merely a new morality, a nonconformity to social law, but a new philosophy, a new “big picture.” As the quotation from C. Lewis shows, we have become subjectivists, egotists—in relation to matter, nature, the body, sex, and women.
Though the graph of the decline of the two venerable traditions of liberal education and sexual morality is nearly identical, it would be the fallacy of “post hoc ergo propter hoc” to conclude that they are therefore casually connected.

 Scott, Jacqueline. Changing attitudes to sexual morality: a cross-national comparison. Sociology v32, n4
Indeed, the term "sexual revolution" was coined at least forty years earlier to describe the changing sexual mores and behaviour of the 1920s and has been used to describe different periods throughout the intervening years (Martin 1996).(1) The term 'revolution' is charged with meaning and implies a purposive overthrow of traditional sexual morality.
Certainly, when it comes to sexual morality, there is likely to be quite a gulf between attitude and practice and even when the two are related, it is not clear which causes which.
Another possibility is that the sexual revolution is more nuanced and the trajectories and sources of change may vary depending on what aspect of sexual morality is under consideration (Smith 1990).

 Sexual Morality
In discussing sexual morality it is worthwhile to examine the intent of sex and how morality, that is behavior valued by and acceptable to the majority of society, determines how we practice sexual behaviors.
Traditionalist concepts of sexual morality are based on the lessons of moral virtue taught in the pages of The Bible (Leithart,n.d./1998).
Sexual Harrassement 1.11 is a directive for the ethical codes of conduct as set forth by the American Psychological Association, including behavioral guidelines, the use of language and respect for the rights of others.

 Sexual Morality: A Personal Imperative
When we talk of sexual morality, we usually refer to conjugal morality, to those acts and practices, which are licit and in conformity with the law of God in marriage.
When we have to defend morality, it is not enough to try to help people live personally in conformity with God's will; it is also our duty to see to it, as much as we can, that our culture be faithful to the laws of God on sexual morality.
This is the basis for the rejection of Christ's teaching on sexual morality.

 The Biblical Source of Western Sexual Morality
In essence, Christian sexual morality consists of two sets of boundaries: God completely forbids certain sexual acts, and even the licit sexual union of a man and woman is permitted only within the context of marriage.
In short, Christian sexual morality involves adherence to rules that distinguish between licit and illicit sexual acts and attitudes.
Though the normal sexual behavior of ancient men might have been quite banal, in the ritual all boundaries are erased; the particular acts became insignificant, and in the ritual any conception of sinful sexual behavior was lost in the "genetic frenzy".

 National Study of Youth and Religion
According to Dr. Regnerus, "When religious parents say they are talking to their children about sex and birth control...the results suggest that this primarily refers to conversations about the morality of adolescent sexual involvement." There are also variations among religious traditions in parent-child discussions of the morality of adolescent sexual activity.
While parents who regularly attend religious services are less likely than other parents to talk to their teenage children about sex and birth control, they are more likely than other parents to talk to their children about the morality of adolescent sexual involvement.
The relationship between parental religiosity and discussions about sex and birth control are often in the opposite direction of the relationship between parental religiosity and discussions about the morality of sex.
