Sex Is NOT a Biological Appendage

Sex is not a biological appendage; it is an aspect of human existence by which every man, through his attitudes and actions, reveals something of his deepest convictions about life itself.  A thorough study of any society, ancient or modern, must always include careful information about its sexual practices, for nothing drives more quickly to the heart of a people’s values or provides a surer index into their total view of life.  When we discover what men regard as right and wrong in sexual ethics, we learn what they believe about much else.  Most important of all, it is in the relationships of sex that men mirror their basic beliefs concerning their own nature, their origin and dignity as men.
