CMV: Sex is an act of love and casual sex is weird

A couple of people already informed me that I have a wrong view on sex and should get it fixed, however my family members and close friends have told me that I'm in the right.

I basically believe that sex is the most intimate physical act two humans can perform and should only be done if the two partners have actual feelings of love for eachother. Therefore, I have trouble understanding people who engage in casual sex without any romantic intentions. I just can't understand how you would do such an intimate thing with a stranger. That's also probably why I'm disgusted by prostitudes and their costumers, which is stupid because 81% of the male population in my country have already had sex with a prostitude.

Please change my view Reddit, this topic fucks me up so hard mentally that I sometimes can't take it anymore. If I'm in the wrong, please tell me how I can change to stop the hurting.

Sex can be an act of love, but it can also be just something to fulfill your urges. Sex is seen as primarily being about love, because that's what religions teach us.

The idea that it's exclusively for love isn't natural. That's something that religious beliefs tell you, but if you take a look at pre-agricultural and pre-patriarchal hunter and gatherer communities you will see that the sexual behavior of humans is naturally much closer to Bonobos (genetically our closest living primates) than to pair-bonding animals like birds or voals.

Like for example you might have heard the term "Eskimo brothers". This term came into existence because the first westerners that came into contact with Inuits were surprised by how sexually open they were. They would all sleep naked together and every night turned into a gang bang, pre-marital sex was encouraged, getting pregnant by a different man didn't matter because everyone helped raising the kids together, if you visited one they wouldn't offer you tea like the British, but they would offer you to fuck their wives, kids would learn how to have sex by watching their parents, etc. 

The same was true for hunter and gatherer tribes all around the globe. Which is why the South Park episode about the Super Adventure Club portrays these discoverers as pedophiles, because some of the earliest stories about isolated tribes in the Amazon are from guys that traveled those areas because they knew that they would get offered to have sex (some accounts also mention that they got offered to have sex with teens and pre-teens) if they encountered a new tribe.

Only once we developed agriculture we also developed the idea of owning property and life-long marriage. Then the idea that wives and kids are the property of their husbands came up, which also lead to the idea that women should be virgins before getting married. Slut-shaming, sexual jealousy and the idea that sex should only happen in marriages are based on patriarchy, but not on nature.

Sex with strangers, pre-marital sex, homosexual sex and sex with multiple partners are only wrong if you are looking at it from a religious perspective, but those things aren't wrong if you grew up without getting taught that they are bad. 

Similarly you could compare sex to going to the cinema or to a nice dinner. It's seen as something romantic that you do with your partner, but this doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it alone, with a stranger or in a group.
