W 3/20 Punzo 157-162 – Sexuality and self-perfection; Group Project #2

1. What examples does Punzo use in order to ridicule the claim that a sexual relationship is no different morally than any other human relationship?

2. Punzo argues against non-marital sex using the notion of the existential integrity of one’s bodily (i.e., sexual) existence and one’s historical existence (i.e., one’s plans, hopes, and fears). How does his argument work?

3. Does Punzo maintain that a couple must be officially married before they become sexually involved? What is his reasoning?
