i know this meme is quite old but i still don't agree with it. sex is not about [what other people call "sexual intercourse"]. instead it's about having a pretense to meet other people. i believe that the underlying dynamic that moves you to go to parties and meet other people is mostly sexual. i.e. you wouldn't go out so much just to make platonic acquaintances. but once that you're out, you also talk to other people! which brings communication into society.
