• Reference to sex occurs eight times an hour on TV
1Corinthians 6:13-20 New International Version
(NIV)
13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,
and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not
meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for
the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,
and he will raise us also. 15 Do you not know that your bodies
are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members
of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you
not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one
with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one
flesh.”[a] 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with
him in spirit.[b] 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other
sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins
sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that
your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you
were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Humane Vitae
17. Upright men can even better convince themselves of the
solid grounds on which the teaching of the Church in this
field is based, if they care to reflect upon the consequences
of methods of artificial birth control. Let them consider,
first of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up
towards conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of
morality. Not much experience is needed in order to know human
weakness, and to understand that men -- especially the young,
who are so vulnerable on this point -- have need of
encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they
must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance.
It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the
employment of anti-conceptive practices, may finally lose
respect for the woman and, no longer caring for her physical
and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of
considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and
no longer as his respected and beloved companion.
Reestablish media guidelines:

area of the home
