[continued]

To cut a long ramble* short: homosexuality** does not help the production or rearing of children, on the one hand; on the other hand, its purpose is primarily gratification, satisfaction of desire for sexual stimulation. I know that sexual intercourse can enrich love and can have a bonding effect, and I am prepared to speculate that homosexual anal intercourse can also do so, although I do not know; but I suspect – strongly – from observation and experience – that in the absence of{,} and the absence of expectation of{,} children,*** the sexual bonding effect diminishes, leaving (as in due course, in old age, will probably happen anyway) the bedrock of a good marriage: companionship, for which sex is not necessary.

*[See last two previous entries.]

**[Presumably, as defined in [Redbook4:183][19871129:2107k]{The Weight of Sin (1) [continued (7)] – Homosexuality}[29th November 1987], i.e. 'the anal bonding of stable relationships'? This whole series of journal entries seems unnecessarily prescriptive and restrictive in its conclusions. <20170123&0326>]

***I am not convinced of this! <930511>
