Sex can be used for procreative purpose and recreative purpose. We can say that very very few living beings enter into sex to have a child, that is, procreation. The child birth occurs naturally as an effect of sex. It is mostly shocking for the uninformed beings that after enjoying the sex they or she has to carry a child.
Since I am not able to access any authentic studies in this regard, I believe that, in more than 90 percent cases, human beings enter into sex instinctively to enjoy the pleasures, rather than producing a child. Married couple enters into sex and if the female become pregnant it is considered desirable. The couples expect such an outcome. Most of the traditional societies expect the newly married couple to procreate at the earliest. But it is not so in the modern fast life. Even after marriage the women do not want children immediately and want to postpone getting pregnant. They do so in order to prolong the courtship and romantic pleasures with the newly wedded partner. Women and men entering into sex without marriage, in almost 100 percent cases, do not want a child to be born as a result of their sexual acts. They may go for abortion in case of pre marital carriage. Demand for contraceptive measures is on the rise – an indicator showing that people do not want to procreate but want sex.
Sex is a biological need, just like need for urination and defecation. However, religions try to attach more value for sex, considering it as a sin, if done before marriage. Religions consider sex as a method invented by God for procreation and that the urge for sex need to be controlled unless for procreation, which is sanctioned for married couples only. This has some useful effects, since celibacy and lack of opportunities for sex controlled the world population. However, the strict moral codes created miseries for many people who faced lack of opportunities for sex and non availability of a suitable partner.
My theory is that world population can be controlled only through social engineering in which birth of children through procreative sex, that is sexual acts that are intended to produce children, only be supported or promoted and unintentional child births need to be curtailed.
This can be done through:-
1. A scientific solution that makes adults by default non productive so that any acts of sex would not lead to child birth unless the couples change the settings intentionally for procreative purpose.
2. Prevention of unintentional child birth
3. Permitting sex unlimited that are purely recreative
4. Providing social and economic security to those who abstain from procreation
Item No.1 and 2 above helps the youth to overcome miseries associated with unwanted pregnancies and permit them to enjoy life. The present situation is that a majority of girls and boys abstain from basic interaction because of restrictions imposed on them for avoiding unwanted pregnancies.
Item No.2 ensures that only wanted children are born. When parents are prepared emotionally, economically and socially let the child birth take place. But without these, it is miseries to both parents and the child.
Item No.3 is intended to delink the acts of sex from other factors like marriage and romance. Those who need sex as a solution to biological needs need to be given opportunities to do so without disturbing the general social interests. Anti privacy laws are essential to stop the state and the people from interfereing in the private affairs of couples are essential. The purpose is to prevent people from entering into marriage for the purpose of recreational sex. Only those who wish they should have a married life and are ready to be dutiful parents need to enter into marriage for procreative sex.
Item no 4 helps people from considering children as a solution to their economic and social needs. Many people marry and produce kids, fearing that if they do not do so, in their old age there will be no one to take care of them. The State ensures that the people are taken care of well in their old age by social servants and at State’s expense, thus diverting them from entering into marriage for procreation purpose.
A happy world requires people to be liberated from miseries, emotional as well as other.
