Beware, it's everywhere! It's in school, at the park, in the office, on the internet, in magazines, on TV, in the news, in newspapers, in books, in commercials-- kamanyakan has become a plague! If you're not yet aware of it, be on guard against those liberal minds behind lousy manyakis excuses justifying their kamanyakan.
The number one excuse of all time, I believe, is the human nature excuse. While it's true that if most, if not all, of adults have sexual desires, self-control is also part of human nature. For example, a man with hyperglycemia can decide whether to satisfy his cravings for sweets or to help treat his condition by controlling his cravings. Obviously, choosing the former would worsen his health condition. Controlling one's sexual desires is natural, too. We are not like wild animals incapable of "taming" our urges.
Another common excuse is health. They say that "doing it yourself" (DIY?) or doing "this and that" (details not necessary) can make you slimmer (slimmer doesn't necessarily mean healthier!) and smarter. Some even claim it can boost your immune system and prevent cancer! Oh boy... First of all, some of these are NOT even medical facts. You want facts? If you really want to be smarter--study. If you want to be slimmer--manage your diet and exercise. If you want to boost your immune system--eat healthy food and take vitamins. If you want to prevent cancer--uuhmmmm.. go ask a doctor. Come on man, this manyakis health excuse is really lame.
This is probably the most cunning and deceptive excuse: LOVE. "Baby I love you. Let's do it even if I've done it with some other woman just a week ago." Any form of sexual pleasure outside of marriage is not true love. Giving pleasure to one another outside the sacrament of marriage is treating each other like objects; It is without dignity. Dignity requires awareness that we are, in fact, made in the image and likeness of God. True love requires sacrifice--YES, sacrifice. Being chaste, resisting temptation, rejecting pleasure--these are some forms of sacrifice that reflect true love. You shouldn't say, "I love you 'cause you complete me," because God is the only one who can complete us. He is Love and the only source of true love-- the only kind of love that can fill our emptiness. When we come to Him and we are filled with love, that's true love and that's the kind of love worth sharing.
Kamanyakan excuses come in many forms. I mentioned only three. But really, no amount, size, or shape of excuse can justify kamanyakan.
