From Buddhism, as strange as it sounds, I have come to the conclusion that the meaningfulness of human life seems to rest upon the bedrock of the repetition of sexual pleasure and reproduction through repeated births and deaths.
Sexuality is a bait that never grows old even though it brings sorrow with it and delusion. Whatever cultural restraint is placed upon it there's no stopping it. It can only be limited to a certain extent.
With each new birth not only is the framework of delusion passed on but also sexuality which even includes the newborn’s sexuality which extends nonspecifically over the entire infant. While sexuality specific to reproduction has not manifested itself, it soon will. In the infant it is there in all its potential and natural capriciousness/perversity.
The sexual drive is an every human being. It is inserted in the very biological architecture of the human being. Neither human culture nor human religions can contend with this power and hope to win in the end. This is why we see the birth of new cultures and new religions because the old ones have been defeated by innate sexuality that lives and thrives in biology.
Present day technology will do nothing in the long run to stop the eventual triumph of sexuality with the life of delusion that comes with it. Soon the Dharma gives way to practical psychology and how to cope with the vicissitudes of daily life. Most religions today minister to the flesh and the worldly imagination for both control and profit.
