Aside from total Chastity, humans are going to have sex outside of marriage. Until they find a partner to marry and produce children with, would it not be better to use contraception? In the perfect world you speak of, no one would have sex outside of marriage. However, we know, humans are not perfect.

Tough question, but the tough answer is no. Without consequences, people are more likely to engage in sex, especially sex outside of marriage. Paul VI predicted what would happen to society with readily available means of artificial birth control (see my post above).

What an ignorant thing to say.

I'm certianly not perfect but I haven't had sex outside of marriage and I'm 45.

So, what are you saying, people can just not control themselves?

The European French are learning (the hard way) the consequences of this line of reasoning.
