If you ignore the effects of evolution then there is no reason to suppose any change in behavior without sex. | |

Unless reproduction happens by accident every time people touch, otherwise it is biologically impossible. If you really want such a society you might be better off writing a story about sentient robots. | |

It would focus on the differences in society, culture, etc. I think the differences would be far more significant and far-reaching then just pornography, teen pregnancy, and prostitution. | |

"Although the question of where to draw the line between attraction, love, and sexual attraction is not something we can do, they are just too intermeshed to be treated as completely distinct." Well, just imagine how you thought about love back when you were a kid and didn't know where babies come from. | |
