sex
and the subject isn't even an attention getting ploy.
Alright, so lets give a random estimate that, excluding those who die in childhood, probably 95(1) percent of the population will have sex at one point or another. I mean, it's a pretty safe assumption that if in 1948 50 some percent of people had had premarital sex(2), that pretty much everyone at one point or another will have sex.
So why is society so determined to pretend that nobody does it? How can that be healthy? People talk about how they are creeped out by the idea that their parents have sex, or that people they find unattractive have sex. My personal opinion is that everyone is doing it, to pretend otherwise is to ignore reality in an unhealthy manner.
(1)the exact number is not the point but the vast percentage of it is.

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.
