When sex is segregated to the biological side of man’s nature, it is separated from man’s total being, and intercourse is reduced to a mere function. It is extremely important to distinguish clearly between function and being. Being signifies the very ground of man’s existence as a person of infinite value, with ultimate dignity as an end in himself. A function is but an exercise of being, an activity by which man steps out of himself in order to perform some deed without ultimate significance.
William S. Banowsky, It’s A Playboy World, p.79
