ON Wednesday, January 19 I started to watch on Channel 4 the programme The Joy of Teen Sex. I could not continue watching it until the end. It was too painful.
The reality portrayed in it was distressing but the message that underlined the view was worse.
Space was given to a teenage sex adviser that advocated “enjoy sex” – no mention of the harm that to divorce sex from love from responsibility from emotional maturity does to the human person.
The question arose, why not give space to address the young to those people whose message won’t encourage promiscuity? That care for the dignity of human love?
The images were pornographic. What about the intimacy and privacy of making love?
No right or wrong, no value given to our actions – a moral vacuum.
We are all responsible for this state of things.
