MORAL LEVELS OF SEXUAL EVALUATION.

The first most known level is the Universal principle, which concerns the objective norm of morality, found to be the nature of human person and taken completely to all its parts and essential relations. This evaluative norm is expressed in term of creativity and integration.

Creative growth as a person toward integration as a self into society expresses in a very fundamental manner how sexuality is to serve the human and be constant with human freedom and dignity.

This principle is absolute and universal in that it provides overall purpose or goal toward which all wholesome sexual activity ought to tend. There is also the level of particularly important values; values like personal love and freedom, respect and reverence for the other as a person and other values, all serve to further unfold the meaning of the universal principle of creative growth as a person toward integration as a self into society. Hence, no specific sexual expression will equally serve and protect all these values simultaneously, but the substantial violation of any of these values raises serious questions about the ability of that particular sexual expression to enhance the creative and integrative growth of the person.

The finally we have the level of the personal conscience. Moral life is not simply a matter of conformity to predetermined rules and guidelines. The well-formed conscience will be well aware of the universal principle of creative growth as a person toward integration as a self into society. The conscience will be open and responsive to values in sexual expression, will be attentive to the wisdom of human experience; but when all is said and done, the person must exercise his or her own freedom to choose and take full responsibility for the choice made. The ultimate norm of morality is the subjective one, the well-formed individual conscience.[1]
