Since you mention it, I would like to make three points about the Catholic view of chastity: (1) Catholics believe sex is good, special and set aside; therefore, it should be used and discussed with great respect. (2) Catholic belief goes beyond simply prohibiting sex outside of marriage; it also prohibits seeking sexual pleasure (lust) outside of the marital act. (3) Whereas the world views chastity as an impossible "<i>Thou shalt not...</i>," Catholics view chastity as a freedom from slavery to the sex drive that is possible with God's help.
