    So my question stands. I knew what you meant, now explain why sex is a special sphere of human activity that is materially different from any other human interaction without resorting to magical thinking.

      … Wow, you’re serious.

      Uh, because it engenders a whole bunch of deep emotions / massive and unique neurochemical responses in people, particularly it plays a massive role in regulating oxytocin, and plays a considerable role in creating stable pair bonding between two people.

      I’m genuienly baffled that you need this explained to you.

      Apologies for using shorthand to refer to a whole bunch of complex neurochemistry, I’ll be sure to spell out the details next time.
