| #2 Moral inhibition also plays a strong part as well. While the high school football coaches are not entirely correct about sex making your legs weak, there are biological reasons why using sex solely for reproduction, at least during the reproductive years, and monogamy, will produce more, and possibly better quality offspring. Two reasons, especially, is less stress on the immune system from the different "fingerprint" of bacteria cultures from other people--one partner will be less stressful than multiple partners. The other reason is non-competition with sperm, which are designed to compete with other males' sperm. If there is no competition, the female has no "choice" of favoring one males sperm over another, and there is less stress on the successful sperm. This matters, even at the cellular level. But the list from conception to maturity strongly favors religious people. |
