Study Notes
Catholic Perspective on Sexuality
- Sexuality is considered a gift from God, and it's reserved for married couples who love and are committed to each other.
- Sexual intercourse is seen as special because it unites the married couple and allows God to give the gift of life through them.
- Masturbation is considered an inappropriate use of sexuality.
- Homosexual sexual intercourse is considered wrong, but not homosexual attention.
- Pornography and prostitution are deemed demeaning and unacceptable.
Relationships
- A relationship is defined as a connection between two or more people who are committed to each other.
- Relationship skills include conflict resolution, negotiating consent, seeking help, providing feedback, and asserting a stance.
- Relationships should have a long-life companion, and human beings need connections.
- Abuse is defined as treating someone with violence, disrespect, cruelty, harm, or force.
- Abuse can be physical, sexual, or emotional, and it affects women's well-being and prevents them from fully participating in society.
Contraception
- Contraception is the intentional prevention of conception.
- Conception methods work in several ways, including preventing sperm from getting to the eggs, keeping the ovaries from releasing eggs, and using IUDs.
- Forms of contraception include:
- The Combined Pill (combination birth control pills containing oestrogen and progestin)
- Hormone-releasing IUD (Mirena)
- Progestogen Only-Pill (Mini Pill)
- Contraceptive Implant (releases etonogestrel hormone)
- Male Condom (prevents pregnancy and lowers the risk of STDs)
- Female Condom (barrier contraceptive device)
- Withdrawal (removes penis from vagina before ejaculation)
- Safe time or Natural Methods (monitors body each day)
- Diaphragm & Cervical Caps (blocks sperm)
- Sterilisation (permanent form of contraception, including female-tubal sterilisation and male-vasectomy)
- Spermicides (chemical substances designed to kill sperm)
- Emergency Contraceptive Pill (morning after, delays ovulation, fertilisation, or implantation of a fertilised egg)
- Abstinence (enforced restraint from bodily activities)
