Contraceptives are bad for mental health, researcher finds

To expand on the issue of contraception, which is now at the forefront of the news recently, let us examine why the Catholic Church's stance on contraception is so important to understand.

First, here is further proof that birth control is even going against nature and what God intended for the marital act:

PAISLEY, Scotland, August 4, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Research from Scotland finding that heterosexual sex without using condoms is more likely to make people happy than "safe sex" with condoms, has stirred controversy among "sexual health" campaigners. The lead researcher wrote of the survey respondents, "The more often they have sex without condoms, the better their mental health."
[...]

Brody wrote, "The more often they have sex without condoms, the better their mental health." His findings suggest that condom use negates the mental health benefits of what he called "evolutionarily relevant sex." He theorized that there is a direct biochemical response in natural heterosexual relations that is blocked by condoms.

Brody wrote in the study, "Possible explanations for the interference of condoms with the health benefits of PVI include blocking of antidepressant and immunological agents in semen and genital secretions, reduced sexual satisfaction and intimacy, and psychopathology-prone persons who are more psychologically immature and/or heterosocially anxious being more likely to use condoms for PVI."

In an interview with the UK's Independent newspaper, Brody responded to criticisms from sex-campaigners at the Family Planning Association that his findings, if they were acted upon, would result in increases in sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies.

"I have an interest in the best possible science," he said. "I don't want to let anything get in the way, whether its political correctness, or religion. I have deliberately not used the term 'heterosexual sex'," he said.

"Evolution is not politically correct, so of the very broad range of potential sexual behaviour, there is actually only one that is consistently associated with better physical and mental health and that is the one sexual behaviour that would be favoured by evolution. That is not accidental."

Once again this shows that the more we abuse our bodies and use them for our own selfish pleasures, the more harmful side effects there will be for both our bodies and our souls. As humans we are a composite being with a body and a soul, if we use our bodies in the wrong way, our souls and minds will suffer in a similar way.

Therefore, let us respect our bodies and follow God's divine plan for human sexuality! Only then will we be able to live life to the full and experience what God has destined for us!
