Sexual Orientations and Morality
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Sexual orientation is the persistent desire of a person for affiliation with one sex rather than the other. The fact that man is a sexual being is something indubitable. Indubitable also is the fact that sex is lovely and great, for without it the whole of human race will face extinction. Unlike several other beings, it is through sexual intercourse that the human person can reproduce itself. It is through this natural gift, therefore, that the flourishing of humanity can be assured, under the loving union of a man and a woman. Nowadays, however, this beautiful gift of nature has witnessed untold pervasion. Man out of his freewill, has chosen to express his sexual behavior with himself (masturbation), with brute animals (bestiality), and with some other persons of his or her own sex (homosexuality and lesbianism). The person or the society itself may feel alright with this development, but what moral implications do such sexual actions pose on the human society? Is it rational and moral for a man to have sex with a fellow man? Is it morally permissible for our female young-stars to give up sexual relationship with men and resort to sleeping with fellow women? What are the moral implications of gay marriage? These and related questions are the central focus of this paper. Thus is a critical examination of the moral implications of different abnormal sexual orientations in our society, using the philosophical method of critical analysis.
