Sex isn't recreational. But having said that, this is true of the West as well. So-called "casual sex" (again, does not exist), sleeping around, etc. is occurring at lower rates today than in the past. People are instead becoming porn-addicted shut-ins unable to have any sexual relations, let alone a healthy sexual relationship.

What do you mean? A lot of people use contraception so they can have sex without procreating. Most sex today is of this type.

Of course sex is (also) recreational. I’m guessing you’re coming from a religious angle, so I’ll ask: is it a sin for a married woman to have sex after menopause?

> Sex isn't recreational It is, if done well. Otherwise I suppose it's just a chore or a duty?

  Maybe there’s a competitive league but it is invite-only and they haven’t told us :(

    Ah, the competitive sex tournament scene! I forgot about that. It's a very challenging contact sport, for a few gifted people.

      In my head, this post was read in the voice of Matt Berry (Lazlow from What We Do in the Shadows) and it was great.

It's obtuse to conflate biological/gene-driven purpose with human motive.

Is that trolling? Or did a time machine from the 1800's get invented while I wasn't looking? No, really, almost all sex today is both those things, like it or not. Semantic struggling notwithstanding.
