Introduce the notion of vice as otherwise to human nature and seek its etymological meaning, approaching with the neotestamentary perspective of sin and malice. This notion is based in aristotelian and augustinian notion, used by Thomas Aquinas. Also present two virtues inside of the christian thought about the sexuality. They are temperance and chastity. The temperance is a virtue that orders the pleasures of tact, and regulates the chastity. Finally, we show that is possible in thomistic thought admit the legitimacy of sexual pleasure and also the natural necessity in relations, and this relations just can be designed inside of legitimate marriage / Esta disserta??o tem como prop?sito apresentar uma vis?o elementar do pensamento tomista acerca da sexualidade humana a partir das no??es de v?cio e de virtude. Apresentamos a no??o de v?cio como disposi??o contr?ria ? natureza do homem e buscamos seu significado etimol?gico, aproximando-se com a perspectiva neotestament?ria de pecado e mal?cia. Esta no??o ? fundamentada pela no??o aristot?lica e agostiniana, utilizados por Tom?s de Aquino. Apresentamos tamb?m duas virtudes dentro do pensamento crist?o a respeito da sexualidade. S?o elas a temperan?a e a castidade. A temperan?a ? uma virtude que rege os prazeres do tato, e reguladora da castidade. Por fim, mostramos que ? poss?vel no pensamento tomista admitir n?o s? a legitimidade do prazer sexual, como tamb?m a sua necessidade natural nas rela??es, e estas rela??es s? podem ser concebidas dentro do leg?timo matrim?nio

The thesis investigates the fictional uses of the figure of the unchaste woman over the period of the early feminist movement in order to trace attitudes towards woman as a sexual being and as a person in her own right. The cheap and popular literature of the period has been used both to illuminate accepted conventions, so that the achievement of major novelists can be more clearly understood, and to discover differences in style, moral intent, and emotional content of the fiction consumed by women of various social classes which may be related to class-based differences in feminine role, expectations, and self-image.

Why would a relatively normal eighteen year-old boy from New Orleans decide to dedicate his life to God as a Jesuit priest at the tail-end of the twentieth century? What obstacles would he meet along the way? What would sustain him in religious life? Why would he leave after seven years? Can one be sexually and emotionally healthy as a celibate? Is celibacy different for homosexuals than it is for heterosexuals? What is essential in the spiritual life?
