Properly ordered behaviour with respect to sex. In marriage, the exercise of the procreative power is integrated with the norms and purposes of marriage. Outside of marriage, the rule is self-denial of the voluntary exercise and enjoyment of the procreative faculty in though, word or action. The vow of chastity, which reinforces the virtue of chastity with the virtue of religion, is one of the 3 vows professed publicly by members of institutes of consecrated life. |
