The fact is we as humans have discovered sex has many benefits beyond procreation, including physical and mental health benefits. Our biological drive may have arisen from the need to reproduce, but our understanding of sex has evolved beyond it being the major factor.I apologise for the word, I did try to substantiate it clearly above.
Our understanding of sex hasn't changed sex. We discovered some fringe benefits, that were always there of course.
Human morality would be undermined if a doctor would prescribe recreational sex, for example.
