The reason to treat sex as something other than a fun thing to is that it makes children. If kids having sex don't require love to be involved, then fathers have no reason to hang around. Then we end up with all these children being raised with no father around and in poverty (which was nowhere as prevalent in the days before the "sexual revolution".) It makes me sick when some guy knocks up a girl and then tries to lie or whatever to get out of having any connection. There's human beings involved. Without love and commitment in the equation you're right - we are just another animal. Kids respond to the society that they live in. If sex is held out by society to be shared in love and commitment, they'll be more apt to go that way. It's a fact that more teens are having sex today than before the 60s and it's also true that more kids are being raised in one-parent families. Ask any American school teacher how that's worked out with kids behavioral problems and parental involvement. One ending comment - I praise any conscientious single parent because I know there are many of you out there.
