7. The point of sex is to create children

Well, that's one reason.
But then, you might ask, why is it so amazingly enjoyable?
Perhaps it's to encourage sexual activity that will increase the possibility of pregnancy.
Perhaps it's to create a bond between two people that increases the probability of forming a stable family unit in which to raise the children.
Perhaps it's a method of releasing stress, and creating a sense of mutual trust.
Perhaps it is part of the process of creating a spiritual union between two people; a union based on a combination of both love and sex. The energy that flows when sexual partners achieve orgasm is a true spiritual experience.
Perhaps it's all of the above, and more.

One thing I do know is that there are a lot of people who resent the sense of completion and freedom that lovers experience when sex and love "come together".
