You're confusing physical pleasure and pleasurable emotions with true happiness, which is the acquiring of the highest goods, which are known rationally.

Translation: which are known because this is Aquinasfan's opinion.

We know that the intellect is superior to the lower emotions and body

Translation: we know this because this is Aquinasfan's opinion.

The pleasurable aspect of intercourse, then, was orderd by nature to attain this end by serving to bring forth new life and to unite the couple.

Translation: we know this because this is Aquinasfan's opinion.

Anything opposed to this end is disordered and unnatural, and should be avoided, even if there are pleasurable aspects associated with it.

Translation: we know this because this is Aquinasfan's opinion.

You're emoting again.

Go to post #345 and point out a fallacy.
