The whole process is linked to powerful feelings that lift people to a new level of experience capable of making poetry, music and philosophy, which are out of this world. I love you and you love me and therefore we do this wonderful thing together. A major factor in today's culture is the attempt to remove the romantic emotional aspect altogether, and accept sex between humans on the same basis as between dogs and cats, with no love or emotional commitment. Sex becomes an end in itself, something to do for amusement or comfort or titillation, just bonking or shagging some person or other, neither expecting any commitment, but just a passing pleasure like a casual kiss or a cream cake to end a party hooked to the passion, booze or drugs culture. This is the type of sex encouraged by the beat and bang and artificial voices of so much modern music, the in thing which the media say you must buy as one of the major globalised industries.
Religion has a responsibility to all people, which demands the encouragement of safe sex.
Under the frenetic pace and noise with which modern capitalistic culture is destroying humanity some observers believe we are experiencing the upheaval of transition to a new society. Moral regeneration no longer limits goodness to individual behaviour but to social experience. So let's hope the pulpits go beyond personal morality to social responsibility - and condoms.
