It's hard to say what is weirder:
A Sister of Mercy writing about the Kama Sutra, sexual desire and "our yearnings for pleasure."
Or the Vatican getting so hot and bothered about the academic treatise on sexuality that the pope censures it, causing it to shoot from obscurity to the top tier of Amazon.com's bestseller list six years after it was published.
Just the latest chapter in the Vatican's thuggish crusade to push U.S. nuns — and all Catholic women — back into moldy subservience.
Even for a church that moves glacially, this was classic. Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics, by Sister Margaret Farley — a 77-year-old professor emeritus at Yale's Divinity School, a past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and an award-winning scholar — came out in 2006.

+3Personally I think Not having sex before marriage could be damaging to a relationship. If someone isn't satisfied sexually in a relationship, they cheat, and that ruins marriages. I think it's foolish to cross your fingers and hope your desires will be filled.
I won't even get married probably because i'm not....desirable. Nothing special about me. So I'll stick with fantasies, that'll never happen.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT WIHT THIS BIASED QUESTION AND BIASED ANSWER CHOICES???
Get some logic... and get your nose out of the bible and face reality....
For example, if it was the norm within the group that men and women were responsible for feeding and caring for their own children. Then laws were created that gave men some assurance that the children they were raising were their own and women some assurance that their husband would not leave them all destitute.
What people fail to realize is that you can't be a Christian and bend God's law as you see fit so that they fit your standards of living!!!
1st Corinthians 7:2- But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
2nd Corinthians 12:21-I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.
1st Corinthians 7:8-9 – Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-6 – It is God’s will that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him.

Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
THERE YOU GO!!! My point proven!!!
