The mere fact that all of us who exist are so as product of sexuality should tell you that the topic at least somewhat of an important thing. It would only make sense to look into then as something merely frivolously secular.
Sex is merely frivolously secular?

Come to think, I do cry out to the deities above during sex, and it as sex is my preferred coping mechanism it is very important in my life (indeed, it is no frivolous matter to me... I fucking need me some sex or I go completely stir crazy). Nothing 'mere' about it either, as I try to have a lot of it.
I'll give you secular, since I'm an apathetic to the existence of gods, until the day they fuck with me. Then it's on (motherfuckahs!).
Quote:And that's just the thing, anything that has lofty importance -- a meaning beyond frivolity -- is bound to exit secularism. Sexuality is one such topic. Of course, you can treat it frivolously, but then you'd have to prove (at least to your own conscience) that it isn't something of any important ideal, or else supersede your conscience into making some false idealism out of your frivolous use of the action.
It's not necessarily difficult to prove something to yourself... rather, I find that for most of us: it's more likely we don't even think about it when we do it. Trust, for instance... without which, we might not have a society where we share so much as a beer with each other.
See... 'importance' (@ your high regard for the word 'frivolous') is subjective. Some things, such as reading, are likely very important for a neurological surgeon, whereas it's not remotely probable to cross the mind of a three year old human child as consequential.
One man's treasure, the next man's junk, amiright?

Roger troll, I will always do and believe as I will. Truth is unknowable, therefore not knowing squat is of highest import to ya

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
