Reddit reviews The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes on

1. NFP doesn't have to be complicated (although certainly there are women who have irregular cycles and do struggle with it) - check out marquette university's nfp protocol. All I have to do is pee on stick and I only "chart" when my period starts and when I peak. Honestly I've experienced more women who struggle with infertility than with fertility - most Catholic women adapt to using NFP and I've met many using different methods who rely on their husbands to do the majority of the charting
   
2. "Only moral sex acts are ones that come at risk to women" --> to understand and love the church's teaching on sex you need to read Theology of the Body. I can't explain it in a simple post, but there's a reason the church teaches what it teaches and personally I find it beautiful and life-fulfilling not defeating. Does it suck sometimes? Hell YA sista. But knowing there is meaning in the choice and that practicing self-denial has eternal value changes everything.
   
3. "Women can't be priests" - again if you research and read the answers for why this is, it's logical and reasonable not just men dictating the rules.
   
4. There's a lot of theology about women written by women - in fact you might like Alice von Hildebrand's The privilege of being a woman
   
5. In regards to St. Aquinas, it's a little unfair to take him out of his historical context. Yes he said some unfortunate things about women, but he also said some amazing things about God. Most of the things about women were typical for his time-period.
   
6. If you want better modesty discussions I'd again recommended theology of the body based books - Dawn Eden's Thrill of the Chaste is a good one.
   
   Hoping that didn't feel like an attack because that's not how it was meant. I can understand why you would feel this way, but I truly believe the church has logical and reasonable answers for all your frustrations. Best of luck with coping with these struggles and hope some of this may be helpful to you.

I would highly recommend reading Dawn Eden's books.

My Peace I Give You: Healing Sexual Wounds with the Help of the Saints

She also has this book:

The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On

But if I had to choose between the two, definitely read My Peace I Give You first.

She also has a blog called The Dawn Patrol where she has some audio recordings you can listen too as well.
