Sex is a gift from God. Chastity is a virtue, not to be confused with the dissorder of sexual repression. You can teach sexual morality without dragging in old heresies like Manachaenism, or Donatism, which is so often found in the "born-again" evangelical theology. Calvin opened the gates for a legion of puritanical cults and the old heresies I mentioned continue to plague much (not all) of Protestantism today.
___________________________________________
If you’re like me, you’ve been told that sex is bad. But when you ask why, you hear something like, “It’s just bad, so don’t do it,” or “You’ll get a disease or get pregnant!” While I’m sure you realize that sex has its consequences—and they might be bad if they happen—these reasons aren’t always convincing.
Our generation has been taught how to avoid venereal infections, but what we really want to know is how to find, build, and maintain a relationship of real love. Sex is supposed to be a great gift, so it’s easy to get tired of hearing about the diseases and unwed pregnancy rates. If you’re ready for a different approach, and you want the gift of sex to be as great as it was meant to be, read on.
“How do I find love?”
Everyone wants love. Everyone longs to give himself or herself to another. We’re made for love, and that need in us is so deep that many would rather risk getting pregnant or getting an STD than live without love. We may be willing to take these risks because the world tells us that sex equals love. Then we see relationships in which sex destroyed love, and we wonder what went wrong. The only solution capable of breaking through this hurt and confusion is the virtue known as chastity.
“What’s chastity?”
Chastity is a virtue (like courage or honesty) that applies to a person’s sexuality. It means that you take all of your sexual desires and order them according to the demands of real love. For example, when you love a person, you make whatever sacrifice is best for them and you do whatever is necessary to keep from harming them. Chastity means that you take this definition of love and apply it to sex.
Some think that chastity simply means “no sex.” But that’s abstinence: focusing on what you can’t do and can’t have. Chastity is what you can do and can have, right now: a lifestyle that brings freedom, respect, peace, and even romance—without regret. Chastity frees a couple from the selfish attitude of using each other as objects, thus making them capable of true love.
I thank God I am Catholic because I have His word I can never be taught errors, and the behavior of Judas or even bad priests has no effect on the holiness of Christ.

See, we COULD adopt your point of view, but it's terribly narrow-minded and clouds God's message of tolerance and the idea that we were all created equal.
You see, if we adopt your ideas we also begin to repress LOVE- the greatest gift God gave us. That is not a world I want to be a part of.

WHAT? No sermon about blue for boys and pink for girls today? Or is that a treasure to anticipate for later?
Sex is the last thing you should be worrying about, believe me.

Suffering to the aid of others is honorable.
Useless suffering is just that... useless. Avoiding sex does not help anyone.
