I’m saying that we have coined SSA to make it seem a separate phenomenon when really it is nothing more than another place where a person will relieve a sexual urge.

[Arthur McGowan]

Well, all I am saying is that if someone thinks:

1) People choose to have SSA, and

2) That the immorality of same-sex sex acts stems from the “fact” that people choose to have SSA,

then that person is way off-base.

People with SSA know that they did not choose to have SSA. Therefore, if they are given the impression that “Christian morality” is based on the belief that they DID choose to have SSA, they will rightly reject “Christian morality” as foolish and counter-factual.

All sexual activity, except between husband and wife, in acts that are in themselves apt for the transmission of life, are sinful. That is the REAL kernel of Christian teaching on sexual morality. What individual people are attracted to, or tempted by, is an entirely distinct matter.

Authentic Christian sexual morality has absolutely nothing to do with theories about HOW people come to be attracted to acts other than licit sexual acts between husband and wife.
