For thousands of years, religions and cultural traditions of the more developed civilizations have each and all emphasized the importance of the control of sexual behavior to social order and stability.

Since the mid-twentieth century, and increasingly within the last generation, norms of sexual behavior have changed radically. Basically, almost all restrictions and limits on sexuality are increasingly viewed as pathological and absurd.  At the same time, we see the number of children living without their father, and even living with grandparents skyrocketing year after year, particularly among the socially and economically disadvantaged. Social surveys show us how incredibly damaging it is for children to grow up without both parents.

Is it possible that thousands of years of cultural and religious traditions around the entire world had very good reason to insist on control of the sex drive?
