Yes. If it were not for the suffering engendered all this obsession with sex would be highly amusing.

And personally as someone who favours individualism -- despite having grown up in a culture where arranged marriages are the norm -- I would not go back to "traditional values" especially as there is no indication whatsoever that traditional societies were any more authentically happier than we are today.

The only way forward is individual autonomy (mentally, emotionally not just economically).
