While I'm not catholic
My views are as follows
A woman should assert certain modesty about her self. What I mean is that a woman should dress with decent taste that is not showing her body off. Sure she can feel proud of her body,but this display should be with her Husband alone,not the world.

Sexuality is a sacred gift for reproduction to maintain the rational species for worshipping God, and that is why chastity and moderation are great virtues.
Anything lower than that is only carnal pleasure. It is not sin for the instinctive beings, but it is sin for rational beings who have the capacity to live decently with divine education.

Yes, chastity is fun, for a man as well as for a woman. I truly believe it is the only way to enjoy that aspect of our lives. To truly know that somebody loves you and wants you for life makes that part of life so much more fulfilling. If the love and purity is not there, then we are just doing an animal act, and that is not the way God intended for humans to be.
I think some people here are misunderstanding the meaning of chastity. If you are married to someone, that is also a way of protecting your chastity. There is no way you can be unchaste if you are married, unless you are unfaithful.

Absolutely no discression here. There are few things worse in the human condition than the consequences of the misuse of Sex. Venierial diseases, "accidental" children, and abortion are all horrors of the modern age brought about by the insidiously casual attitude society had regarding the practice of Sex.

Well I gotta say, the Catholic church has no merit on proper sexual conduct unless they are interviewing 11 year old boys. The Catholic church waved bye-bye on sexual values when the preists were abusing small boys and girls. If there is a hell, I hope those priests rot in it. The catholic church has lost all credibility on sex, and you can't say they didn't have it coming.

True. God designed our sexuality to be one our most beautiful expressions of love toward another person. The world has cheapened sexuality and many young people give themselves to several others before making a commitment to one. They enter a relationship with many cracks in their hearts. It's not God's way and if we would follow the virtue of God in our lives, it would put an end to the rampage of promiscuity, abortion, and messed up lives. This was an excellent question/comment...thanks.

I am chaste and I am married and I am modest. That sex is beautiful if you are in love and married. To dress modestly.
Thats what I am teaching my daughter.
I am not catholic however I am a pagan.
I think thats just good values and morals.

It's basically the truth, but people today don't have a clue, and liberalism has become as a pagan religion and is the most destructive force in our modern world.

Chastity is not fun. You should have sex with your spouse several times a week. It's healthy. Studies have actually shown that it's good for your heart. Not to mention you lose more calories while having sex than just sleeping. Also, sex is fun. Let sex into your life and embrace it with open arms.

I am 21 and a virgin and quite proud of that fact.
I can be a skank anytime I wish, but why would I desire that way of living when my chastity offers me much more joy.
