Sex Has Purpose Beyond Private Pleasure

Moral Rules Are Like A Manual For Humanity
- Moral rules function like operating instructions for human flourishing, preventing breakdowns when we use our bodies contrary to design.
- Sanchez borrows C.S. Lewis's machine analogy: misusing the 'human machine' produces malfunction even if no one else is directly harmed.
Sexual Sin Can Be Self Harm
- Sexual misuse can harm the individual even when done in private or between consenting adults, because it uses the body against its intended purpose.
