The social and religious "values" that surround sex date to periods
in history when it was normal to get married (or the equivalent)
shortly after puberty, give birth to half a dozen children, and die
by about the time the youngest had their first child.  It's not at
all surprising that those mores don't seem to fit well in a modern
society where people of both sexes delay families till after they
have established careers (~30) and live for 50 years after that.  So
societies going through assorted mutations trying to find a more
viable form, and the unsuccessful mutations are dying off.  Fortunately
(?) societies seem to evolve much faster than organisms.  Maybe we'll
find something that works better Real Soon Now...
