The permissibility of kissing follows quite naturally from the principle of the triplex delectatio. Sensible, venereal, and affective pleasure are formally disparate, even though they have a certain material concurrence. Pleasure is specified by its formal object, and no inference follows from material concurrence to formal identity. Nor is the will involved in the cause sufficient to establish venereal consent where the appetite terminates in the pleasure of honest affection. The inchoatio remota coniugii should not be confounded with the inchoatio proxima copulae. So neither material concomitance nor remote ordination suffices for venereal specification. The contrary inference confounds the disposition with its terminus and the sensible substrate with the formal object of delight.
