Aquinas got it right


"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power...." -- [Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica,Q92, art. 1, Reply Obj. 1]

"I feel that nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state." [St. Augustine, De Trinitate 7.7]

Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations." [St. Augustine (354-430)]

"When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell "Stop!" to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind. Then recite a portion of the Bible or sing a hymn." [Mormon _Guide to Self-Control_]

"men are guilty of committing adultry with their own wives if they look at them with lust." -- Pope JP II

and remember that:

"All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons; chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants." [Saint Augustine (354-430)]
