Well of course we have to spell it out for some people. He was merely reminding us that we are humans and unlike animals we have the ability to control our actions. That is to much work for some people.

Sex is not the only reason for marriage and a relationship built only on sex will not last when our bodies are no longer deemed "attractive" for the sole purpose of sex. We must always work to master our passions, lest they become obsessions that take us away from the the true meaning and purpose of life.

Which is ... all together now class....God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven.

See even we post Vat II brats know that. ;)

Well said, and reminds me of 1 Thessalonians 4:

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God...”
