Quote from: Matto

Why is it so appealing for young boys to sodomize each other? Don't normal young people look at such behavior with disgust? I know I did when I was growing up and I am only 34.

I never understood it either. It wouldn't matter if I was away at sea for 3 years, at an all boys school, a seminary, or whatever.

It's against nature, it's naturally revolting, and YUCK! It doesn't even tempt me.

I mean, at least when it comes to beautiful young women I have to tell myself "no" to a certain degree. (It depends on the woman, of course. Some aren't attractive to me; some are.) But when I encounter a woman who is my "type", there is some level of attraction or desire there, even if it's just at the basest level (the passions). So I have to watch myself, practice mortification, be modest and prudent in my behavior and speech, etc. In short, the practice of virtue is necessary to fight any temptation, including the temptation of "desiring those you shouldn't".

But sodomy? I can avoid that sin without even trying!

[21] Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. [23] And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things. [24] Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

[26] For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. [27] And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

[6] Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted. [7] Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. [8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand. [9] Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents. [10] Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

[11] Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. [12] Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. [13] Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. [14] Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols. [15] I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
