Dr. Morse delivers a talk based on her book “Smart Sex” at Harvard University.

The MP3 file is here. (21 Mb) (Link in case that doesn’t work)

Topics:

• the hook-up culture and its effects on men and women
• cohabitation and its effect on marriage stability
• balancing marriage, family and career
• single motherhood by choice and IVF
• donor-conceived children
• modern sex: a sterile, recreation activity
• the real purposes of sex: procreation and spousal unity
• the hormone oxytocin: when it is secreted and what it does
• the hormone vassopressin: when it is secreted and what it does
• the sexual revolution and the commoditization of sex
• the consumer view of sex vs the organic view of sex
• fatherlessness and multi-partner fertility
• how the “sex-without-relationship” view harms children

52 minutes of lecture, 33 minutes of Q&A from the Harvard students. The Q&A is worth listening to – the first question is from a gay student, and Dr. Morse pulls a William Lane Craig to defeat her objection. It was awesome! I never get tired of listening to her talk, and especially on the topics of marriage and family.
