I was speaking to a friend I've known for years (not the friend who I referred to this forum, a different guy), and he was very resistant to my idea of sexual sin being bad (and to the idea of submitting to God and Truth at all).
I mentioned to him how a girl's physiognomy and spirit changes when she engages in casual sex (this is true for men too, although less so), but my friend insisted that casual sex is only bad for some people, but that others are able to enjoy it in moderation and not have it harm them spiritually.
Anyway, when I told him I could not explain exactly why and how casual sex changes a person's spirit for the worse but that there might be theologians and philosophers that can explain it better than I can, he asked me to send him some sources.
Does anyone know any good sources or writings by theologians about this topic? I thought someone like Thomas Aquinas might be a good source, but I'm not sure where to find his writings on the subject.
