While in the animal kingdom this activity is seasonal in nature and does not include emotional involvement or long-term association with the partner, in the human kingdom, sex is an integral part of everyday existence, dictating how we identify ourselves and relate to others.
We use sex to connect emotionally, build lasting bonds, explore different possibilities of pleasure hidden in the human body, form family units, and even get spiritual experiences and growth in some cases.
Humans have also looked at sex and its consequences as a form of responsibility. Take the institution of marriage, for example. It was created to give shelter and long-term protection to the mother and the offspring once man and woman cohabited and produced a child from the union. Traditionally, a man's job was to provide food, clothing, and shelter not only to his wife but also to the children they birthed together, till the offspring became self-reliant. Marriage also promotes a sense of commitment and responsibility towards one's partner and family, leading to a more cohesive and functional society.
Technological development and its impact on marriage
However, many aspects that were true for marriage once upon a time have changed as a result of technological growth. Women today are not as dependent on men for their survival. They can earn their bread and have the option of living in a secure apartment building with adequate legal protection to ensure their physical safety. They might not feel compelled to marry in order to have babies or get physical protection. Artificial insemination, egg freezing, and test-tube babies are the new realities. A woman can typically assume all the roles that have historically been played by men. This change has even affected how humans relate to sex.
