‘And at the very moment when I was disposed to put myself in bad faith, I of necessity was in bad faith’. - Is this quote saying that sometimes it is necessary to be in bad faith so that your desired actions do not deny other peoples freedoms?
If this is the case then the example of the catholic who does not ingage in sex because of the views of their family is still a matter of bad faith. Although the family may become angered by the decision to have sex, by having sex the person is not imposing on their freedoms.
The same is in the example of the woman on a date, no matter what she decides, she can only really effect her own bad faith. Morals, in Sartre, come about because we have an obligation to not impose on other peoples freedoms even if it means putting ourselves in bad faith.
