He said he reviewed, he favorably reviewed a book on bestiality.
Yeah.
And he made the point in his review, look,
Why would anybody criticize this?
Because as soon as you accept contraception, you know, you've already admitted that sex doesn't have any connection with procreation or no necessary connection with procreation.
So all of this stuff follows.
If he said, as long as there's consent, I don't know how you get the consent of an animal, and it's mutually pleasurable.
I don't know if you can tell how the animal is having pleasure, but he says, as long as that's the case, why not?
Now,
But he probably doesn't think that you can do that because he thinks that a lot of animals have personhood and that newborn babies are persons to a lesser degree than a lot of adult animals.
So, I mean, I have to apologize to our listeners for being so explicit about this or sort of explicit.
I used the noun for that practice earlier.
But this is what's out there.
Now, I think he's right.
You are implicitly on board with all that stuff as soon as you buy the contraceptive outlook on what sex is.
Another way to put it is this.
In homosexuality, again, sex has been separated from turning the wheel of the generations.
It has been separated from the love of the procreative partners because the partners are not procreative.
It's been separated from all that stuff.
Many homosexuals, many heterosexuals who would think to themselves, oh, I'm not like that, except basically a homosexual view of sex.
