Couple chapters before this. Still, in recent news. My boss is probably right. We all need something to do outside of work.

Why is rape preferrable to putting one's flesh to waste? I should think the Bible says the opposite? Paul says either marry or be alone.

What Augustine proposed that rape though evil was conducive towards producing a greater good, that good being life. Meanwhile masturbation is worse because it produces no good. That said, I believe he speaks hyperbolically, as it's NOT preferable for bandits to rove. Taking these two extremes, Augustine settles, that if one were to sin in this way, a prostitute would be best.

Anyhow, you'd be right. The tonic is marrying or being alone, which is what we do. Doctors of the Church tend to grapple with rather obsure questions however.
