Sexual ethics is the study of human sexuality and sexual behaviour. In a word, it seeks to understand and evaluate the moral conduct of relationships and sexual activities from a philosophical perspective.
Sex is hugely important to us all. Sex is an expression of love. It forms the foundation of our family lives, our social lives and even our self-identities. For many, we should celebrate sex, for we owe it our very existence! On the other hand, sex can be the cause of great pain and suffering. While sex brings life, no doubt, it ruins the lives of many. Cases of exploitation, harassment, assault and rape, show the darkest side of humanity.
Sex can both make and corrupt humans. For Christians, different sexual acts and preferences can lead them closer to, and further away from God. For many moral philosophers, sexual acts can lead them closer to and further away from what is right. Moral philosophers and theologians have long pondered questions surrounding this sensitive topic, and there is a lot more to be said that goes beyond the scope of this episode. In this episode, we will exclusively be tackling issues surrounding marriage and sexuality.

0:00.0 | Part two, Extramarital Sex. |
0:16.7 | Right, so we've done a lot on premarital sex there and there's going to be some crossover from the first |
0:22.5 | instalment of this series. So we'll try and be as brief as possible with extramarital sex before |
0:27.4 | moving on to issues surrounding homosexuality afterwards. So, first of all, like we did in part one, |
0:33.9 | what is extramarital sex? And why is it important so extramarital sex is in the name it's when |
0:39.2 | you have sex outside of marriage so in kind of in your everyday language this would be referred to as |
0:43.9 | either committing adultery cheating on someone or having an affair within a marriage yeah and |
0:50.0 | because we want to keep it brief it's as you would imagine if you've listened to the previous episode, Christianity, |
0:57.0 | the traditional Christianity is going to be very much against this particular position |
1:02.0 | because you've already committed to the sacrament of matrimony, you are joined together, you are one flesh, |
1:09.0 | and to reject that covenant, that commitment you've |
1:13.1 | made to your partner is to go against the will of God and against nature as far as Aquinas |
1:18.8 | would be concerned. So yeah, it's certainly a thing where we're going to say it's a definite |
1:24.2 | no in the sort of most of the time within Christianity. |
1:27.9 | And I would say even now, even the most liberal churches are probably not okay with you |
1:31.7 | cheating on your partner. |
1:33.1 | Definitely. |
1:33.6 | I mean, there's words in the marriage service where it says, till death us do part. |
1:37.5 | That literally means that you are going to be together until you die. |
1:41.1 | Whereas if you obviously cheat on someone or commit adultery, then you are breaking |
1:45.0 | that social contract in a public social contract, which marriage is. Okay, so you're breaking |
1:50.8 | that bond with your partner and breaking the bond of your relationship with God. Remember, |
