The document discusses the morality of human sexuality. It argues that human sexuality requires commitment, care, concern and responsibility for the other person. It should not be self-centered or dehumanizing by destroying the other's dignity. Additionally, human sexuality is discussed in the context of natural law theory, Kantian ethics, Rawlsian justice as fairness, and Fletcher's views on necessity and survival.

Sexual meaning makes us realize the need for some
measure of fullfillment that only the other can give.
One has to be free from self-centeredness by opening
one to the other person.

3. A happiness that is sought for ourselves alone can
never be found. For a happiness that is diminished
by being shared is not big enough to make us happy.
