If people are not going to act responsibly, then they must be compelled to do so.

Lets get rid of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, cars, motorcycles, parachutes, hang gliders, microlights, paragliders, ocean going motorboats, guns, and so ad infinitum. They all kill and mame.

But then I guess people would just revert to even more the oldest passtime known to man... and woman.

We have still not overcome our own evolution and sex - plus the pleasure associated with it - is just as much a drug to many as some of the above things I mentioned. I would argue it can be even more addictive when mixed with love. Love is a great catalyst for sex. Seldom is just sex a catalyst for Love.

In pure animal terms sex is survival. Everything we do has some survival or sexual connotation on an evolutionary level. Some people are celibate. Some loving people are still celibate. Generally though, sex is the norm for most human beings. We can live without it. Like we can live without love. But we tend not to do so well without either.
