You're going to have to explain the justification of why it is society's business to approve the proper forms of fucking between consenting adults conducted in private.
Simple answer is because society is in need of certain kinds of fucking (not just any fucking will do. Two pump chumps are fine if not preferable, corn hole commandos not so much.)

Everyone knows what happened when this person walks in full of smiles and a skip in his/her step and everyone around this person is better for it. I would consider this a societal benefit.
Heck yeah everyone knows!! FREE FOOD IN THE BREAK ROOM!!!
From a societal stand point society is indeed concerned with overall happiness to a degree to not be disgruntled and thus revolutionary. However, this mood does not need to be effectuate by physiological pleasure as much as by avoiding physiological pain. Eeyor may be cheered by copious amount of chocolate, coffee, or praise as much as any particular type of fucking. Furthermore, as exhibited by the paradox of hedonism the essential problem with this argument is two fold (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_hedonism):
1. That which is pleasurable or painful at one point does not necessarily remain so. Psychologically speaking people are prone to a homeostasis state of default contentment of such a degree as to not be disgruntled or revolutionary, or to allow for perpetual happiness or sadness.
2. That which is pleasurable or painful to one may not be what is socially ethically or morally acceptable to any. If hurting a few really brings up the mood of the rest then denying me the dignity and security to hurt a few causes me harm. If I have overt sensitivity to what is accepted to the rest allowing such to persist causes me harm. Naturally we first will default to what is of social importance rather than what is to personal importance (otherwise society would be controlled by the most psychosomatic hypochondriac in it).
Seriously the cheating girl at my work has driven me nuts with this.
