We all face desires and temptation, but one is a free moral agent and responsible for ones own actions, we should have control of ourselves.

what is morally defensible, are precisely those actions you take that do no

Why someone should be attracted to something that is contrary to nature and against the physiology of the human body I cannot say, its seems neither logical nor rational if I am honest and yet there are not a few sexual deviants that practice all kinds of irrational and painful things.
are you able to control your physiological reactions?
Even if one is to allow for some kind of physiological reaction it itself is not a causation to act on that impulse, for once gain we are free moral agents and should be in control of our actions.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiei wasnt referring to anal sex. i was asking you if you can control your physiological reaction. for example if you are thirsty can you make that feeling go away? if you are hungry can you make that feeling go away?

Originally posted by RBHILLYeah, I'll take that action, and raise you romans 12:6-8, for my gift is to show
Thinking about something for 1 second is a lot different the 20 minutes.
Romans 12:1-3 can help you understand.
understanding for other people's plights, and to defend those whom are under
attack (lest of course I'm the one doing the attacking - of course - I can't
both defend and not defend the same person on the same issue - that'd be
weird - wouldn't that be weird? - that would be kinda funny, actually - hmm).

Well, they had to think of some way of painting it as a bad thing. Fundies always are scheming to stop anyone who is danger of having a good time. Can't have sex before marriage; can't even rub one out fantasizing about the girl you're going to marry. They actually aspire to misery.
