Sex is, at it’s very core, a physical act. It is desgned for the purpose of the propagation of our species, but sex serves other purposes as well. In humans, sex is impacted by a variety of emotional and psychological issues. Sex can be used as an emotional bonding tool for couples and it can be used simply for pleasure by many people. But sex isn’t just about physical pleasure or procreation and it can be impacted by a variety of things, including mass media coverage and societal pressure.
A person’s self image religious convictions and societal pressure can all impact a person’s sense of their sexual self in both positive and negative ways. Sex has been a controversial subject for centuries, beginning before Roman times when prostitutes were tolerated in order to spare “good” women from the onerous duty of having sex with their husbands.
