h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Life has changed a great deal in the last century, but I seriously doubt sex will ever be relagated to a minor role in most people's lives. It is a basic human need. Religions and society can seek to impose restrictions on it, but they can never eliminate it. People will think, feel and seek it out despite whatever social taboos are erected. Until such time as Big Brother learns how to control our thoughts.. you cannot honestly believe that people will stop thinking about it..regardless of what they will admit to publicly. Most people will also continue to touch themselves, masturbate in private... whether they will consciously admit to themselves that is what they are doing. Look at babies..before they are conditioned to think of it as bad or dirty, it is a natural part of their lives. As to seeking it out.. the venues may change... how or with whom people choose to interact with...but eliminate the driving need (particularily in males) highly unlikely.

Yeah, sex will always be an issue. Religion doesn't seek to restrict only under marriage. Sure I can have sex with anyone I want, but what will gain me if I do? A bad reputation, and who knows what! People make sex an issue as a right to have it without being accountable to their actions. While it will always be there, and it should, it should be done within limits. It saves peoples reps, lives, and social position.
