82:1.1 Notwithstanding the [[personality]] [[Difference|gulf]] between [[men]] and [[women]], the [[sex]] urge is sufficient to insure their coming [[together]] for the [[reproduction]] of the [[species]]. This [[instinct]] operated [[effectively]] long before [[humans]] [[experienced]] much of what was later called [[love]], [[devotion]], and marital [[loyalty]]. [[Mating]] is an [[innate]] [[propensity]], and marriage is its [[evolutionary]] [[social]] [[repercussion]].

82:1.2 [[Sex]] interest and [[desire]] were not [[dominating]] [[passions]] in [[primitive]] peoples; they simply took them for granted. The entire [[reproductive]] [[experience]] was free from [[imaginative]] embellishment.

82:1.10 No [[human]] [[emotion]] or impulse, when unbridled and overindulged, can produce so much [[harm]] and [[sorrow]] as this powerful [[sex]] urge. [[Intelligent]] submission of this impulse to the [[regulations]] of [[society]] is the supreme test of the [[actuality]] of any [[civilization]]. Self-control, more and more self-control, is the ever-increasing demand of advancing [[mankind]]. [[Secrecy]], insincerity, and [[hypocrisy]] may obscure sex [[problems]], but they do not provide solutions, nor do they advance [[ethics]].
