Overview

This essay on human sexuality makes the argument that religion is wrong to regard sex as a sin. Sex belongs to the physical world, and to pleasure, and to the realm of sensations. But the physical world and sensations and pleasure are not inherently evil. Instead, if they make human life enjoyable, and they make people happy, then they are good, not merely in a practical sense, but also in the respect of good as ethics and virtue and morality. Arising from the mind-body conflict, which posits that the body and the soul are opposed forces at war with each other, religion has cut us in half, so that our own soul, our capacity for moral integrity, is in conflict with our deepest desires, longings, and fantasies. So, we repress those desires, or else we allow religion to teach us that sex is dirty trash, and then we act that belief out, because it is what we are taught. This essay is an antidote. It presents a new vision of moral integrity according to which it is okay to be sexual, but only in a healthy way, with consenting adults, in experiences that you enjoy. This book argues for a healthy sexuality, belonging to a healthy body with a healthy mind and soul, so that we are unified, at peace, and acting out our desires in a healthy way, with mind, body, and soul, as one. The only rational arguments against the virtue of sex are: rape and pedophilia, which problem is solved if sex is defined as only including conduct between consenting adults, so that rape and pedophilia are defined as acts of violence, not acts of sex; unwanted pregnancies, which problem is solved with legalized abortions; and infidelity, which problem is solved by only choosing to date or marry someone if you are sexually attracted to them and enjoy having sex with them, or else choose non-monogamy and polyamory. Every argument against the virtue of sex can be debunked and refuted. This is a book for people interested in the scholarly academic study of human sexuality, and for people who read books about ethics and morality, and also for any person looking to learn about the philosophy of LGBTQ gay pride.
