Sex as a Sign and Appetizer of Something More

A quote by Peter Kreeft about joy and sex, the last paragraph is also good: Sex as a Sign and Appetizer of Something More – Justin Taylor:

I think a secularist has only one substitute left for God, only one experience in a desacrilized world that still gives him something like the mystical, self-transcending thrill of ecstasy that God designed all souls to have forever, and to long for until they have it. Unless he is a surfer, that experience has to be sex. We’re designed for more than happiness; we’re designed for joy. Aquinas writes, with simple logic, “Man cannot live without joy. That is why one deprived of true spiritual joys must spill over to carnal pleasures.”
