6. I've always thought it's about keeping people from having sex.

The only time sex is allowed is within marriage, with the lights off, under the covers, and only ONCE for each child you're going to have, and even then, you're NEVER allowed to enjoy it. That's the puritanical culture I was brought up in. Those were the kinds of attitudes I had growing up, until I started coming to my senses in early adulthood. Inevitably, of course, if they can't keep people from having sex, they want to burden it with all kinds of onerous consequences, and that would be what y'all are calling punishment.
