Why is sex seen as a bad thing?

I feel like it's weird to talk about it in public and be explicit... But I don't know why. Why is it seen as inappropriate?

    It is considered a private thing to talk about.

    America was originally colonized by Puritans

    . They thought anything that felt good was pure evil. And they would enforce that belief on everyone else in their society.

    Because many people still cherish sex with the one they love and those people feel it's a very private thing.  Talking about sex can also lead to you getting in trouble for sexual harassment or assault.  It's also low class and tacky, like talking about how much money you have or what your bowel movement was like.

    Most people aren’t as mature as you are. Talking about something like that makes them all nervous and giggly. Embarrassed even. But It’s hard to imagine anything more basic than the human sexual drive. You can be half dead and still have that part of you functioning pretty efficiently. So it’s obviously something that’s at the core of the human experience. Otherwise humanity would have died out long ago.
