A guy was friended on Facebook by some woman, their conversation was flirtatious and then turned risque. Then it moved to skype with webcams, with various articles of clothing being removed.
Well, the whole thing was a scam. The man was blackmailed and the person was going to send the video he made to all the victim's friends, family, etc.

But if this man were a practicing Catholic, he wouldn't have done a naked Skype chat to begin with, and all would be well.
At least he didn't kill himself, which others in his position have done!
But my point is, there are REAL UPSIDES to living a moral life, even besides the promise of eternal life. God, and the Catholic Church He founded, know what's best for us.
Here's another point: some fools think that self-abuse helps a sɛҳuąƖly frustrated man to "blow off steam" so he's not under pressure. So why did this particular non-Catholic get led around by his shameful member? He admitted he worked in IT, and he knew better. Are we to believe that this man who is willing to flaunt Catholic morality (by risque talk with strange women, naked webcam chat) is one of that minority of men who avoid self-abuse? I seriously doubt it.
If anything, having the vice of self-abuse makes a man MORE vulnerable to sɛҳuąƖ scams like this one. After all, if a man can't control himself, he can't control himself, right? It puts him in a MORE needy position, not a less needy one.
