    only if you essentially do not view sex as any more sacred, or complex and meaningful, than food…

    Why on Earth would anyone who isn’t indoctrinated into a religion ever think that sex is more sacred than any other form of human interaction?

        So my question stands. I knew what you meant, now explain why sex is a special sphere of human activity that is materially different from any other human interaction without resorting to magical thinking.

          … Wow, you’re serious.

          Uh, because it engenders a whole bunch of deep emotions / massive and unique neurochemical responses in people, particularly it plays a massive role in regulating oxytocin, and plays a considerable role in creating stable pair bonding between two people.

          I’m genuienly baffled that you need this explained to you.

          Apologies for using shorthand to refer to a whole bunch of complex neurochemistry, I’ll be sure to spell out the details next time.
