Communication and good sex

A Sydney Morning Herald article "Shyness found to hamper safe sex" states that "A new national survey of more than 1000 people has revealed about 63 per cent of men and 52 per cent of women still refused to mention contraception in the heat of the moment" They recommend we practice talking about contraception in front of a mirror befure venturing our with a potential sex partner.

What is it about sex that makes men and women irrational unthinking pleasure seeking machines? Are we driven subconciously by the media? or pornography? or do we actually have no regard of the consequences of sex? Do we in the search of that perfect orgasmic moment not care of the consequences of the sexual activity on ourselves, our family, community and society?
