| description | A complicated portrait of contraception use in American college hook-up culture exists, and there are new issues moral theologians ought to be attending to inside the classroom and within the field of sexual ethics. The prevalent dynamic is not so much about personal choice but rather about power and marginalization. It raises issues of objectification and conformity, and prompts discussion of dignity and solidarity. Classroom discussions of Natural Family Planning can open up conversation about the operative social forces at play and so spark a broader dialogue about how one can make responsible decisions in the light of certain power dynamics at play within hookup culture that can affect anyone. Such an approach expands the ways in which twentysomethings approach contraception specifically and sexual activity more broadly speaking, as well as how they develop and engage their own moral compass when faced with complex decision-making. |
