personally, i hope my parents continue to have sex the rest of their lives. everyone should have a healthy sex life, the old and "unattractive" alike. stupid sex-negative culture.
as to why, there's the idea that sexual energy is more chaotic, and thus less controllable. the powers that be don't like the chaos of passion; therefore, they try to keep that energy contained.
our society is pretty body-negative in general. we as a society try to turn sex into something that is relationship-dependent. society denies that people can have healthy sexual relations outside of a committed, monogamous relationship. we're expected to essentially hand our sexuality over to our "other half", and have no independent sexuality of our own. it's really fucked up.
