Yes. That doesn't mean that they cannot engage in the conjugal act, which is naturally ordered towards childbearing regardless of the fertility status of either spouse.

Fucking is fun. That's why it's usually done and is the sole reason why it will be happening when fertility is literally impossible. Sex is not naturally ordered towards childbearing, especially when it is naturally impossible.

Homosexuals can also engage in conjugal acts. Also, sex is not always or even often about having children. Also, even if that were not the case, if a child cannot result from the act how is it ordered towards childbearing? You still haven't explained that phrase by the way.

So ability to have sex is now a requirement for marriage? I'll go tell all the men and women whom lack sexual organs, that they can't get married.

Really, so what about abusive households, or households where the child is the caretaker?

I hope that, if you marry or have a spouse, she doesn't have epilepsy, because she is in danger with someone like you.

No, not honorable form of suicide. Their is nothing honorable about a Traditional Manly ManTM without his junk, not even his death.

Really, so what about abusive households, or households where the child is the caretaker?

We'll have to shun them, lest we normalise non-traditional family structures. Make them live under a bridge or in the sewer.

Hmm. As well as the fact that the computer he's using to post from isn't "Natural," so he should stop posting. He should then remove all his clothes and leave the town.

Coitus remains naturally ordered towards childbearing even when either or both spouses are infertile. This is easily demonstrated by the fact that a single conjugal act does not necessarily result in procreation, even when both spouses are fertile.

A good analogy is a baseball team. A baseball team is naturally ordered towards winning baseball games, even if they never actually win a baseball game.

The 93rd Coalition wrote:Now by the title, I don't mean slavery. I just had an idea a few days ago that may or may not be considered offensive by some of you. And hence this thread was made.

I was in class and we were talking about how when a homosexual goes to the hospital, their partner is a actually not considered a family member, rather as a stranger, and is not permitted. I investigated about other things that marriage does to benefit straight couples, and it obviously turns out - a lot.

So, to keep all the Republicans and the Church happy, could there not be an alternative to marriage? Like a legal bonding that says that these people are together, they are permitted to adopt a child, live under the same roof, treated as a family member, etc, etc. But rather than it be blessed by a judge or priest, it would merely be a document stating all the aforementioned rights by their attorney (Although treated with just the same respect as any marital commitment.)

So what do you thing, NSG? Could this work? Would it not? Has this been suggested? Am I blue?

As a young lesbian, I would love to have this with my GF, so when we're adults, we could actually care for each other on the political level.
I'm a 13 year old South Korean lesbian who is dating a 14 year old girl from Shanghai, China. Nobody seems to get this. I also live in the US. Kentucky, to be specific.
