Do we need to ask, what are the possible long term psychological and sociological consequences of separating the pleasurable experiential functions of sex from its biological reproductive functions? Having cut the cord that united the two and divided them into separate categories by means of technology and cultural acclimation, what are the likely results to be, or what have they been, and should we be concerned? It is not unlike separating the pleasurable experiential content of food from its nutritive qualities. We haven’t been quite able to sever that tie technologically, but we have gone some way in severing it in our cultural attitudes. But imagine if we could separate the two. What shifts might occur, and what individual, relational, social, and biological consequences might result? What are the unforeseen effects of such a massive restructuring of one of the most fundamental aspects of human biology, psychology, and sociology?
