Hints of traditional values

I think the writer was going for sort of a conservative message when it comes to sex that I haven't quite seen portrayed by a movie before.

Sorry if this is expressing an opinion, but the film moved me in this way, so I have to say this to express how I feel right now.
I've always thought that it's tragic how so many people get obsessed with things that are a ticking time bomb, to the point where it consumes their interests, and then they die in this short life we live without experiencing the bigger picture. So many people depend on objectifying each other and sex, which are biological time bombs because we aren't going to be attractive for long and aren't going to live this mortal life forever. Then after people are done using each other in their youth, they get a little wrinkly or a little financially down or whatever, and they stop being attracted to each other. Without focusing on making a deep connection with someone that goes straight to the soul and lasts the rest of your lives (and perhaps the afterlife), there's not much point in a relationship (except to satisfy expiring lust).

With the scene where Kathy is flipping through the pornographic book, one might at first glance think, "this is a liberal moment because she's looking at naked pictures of strangers meant for objectification". However, I think Kathy was looking at the book in rage of Tommy not having enough values, and she wanted him to catch her so that she could make a point. This scene makes a point about the tragedy that I explained, where we use each other up like animals without experiencing the bigger picture; it's not only tragic, it's disturbing when you think about it. The "proof" that this scene is conveying what I think it does is what happens later on - Tommy and Ruth are split up and gained nothing from their relationship; much worse off than they would have been had they prioritized eternal happiness instead of superficially using each other in the moment.

Anyways, I don't usually post moral opinions like that, but I had to to convey what the film brought out of me in a way that most films don't. Is there anything like this that the film brought out of you?
