When I was young, I thought about "doing it" a lot. Now I think about sex as a topic to understand better. I may even put my ideas down to see if they make sense when written.
I won't expound on all that here, but will make a few observations. First, 3D life often combines more reasons than one to have experiences. We have sex to reproduce, of course.
We also do it sexually rather than by cell division or something, because it increases the genetic diversity, greatly speeding up evolution and/or adaptation.
Mother Nature drives us to doing sex for the ecstatic pleasure of it, which can be a lifestyle in itself, but she overwhelmingly just wants us to exchange DNA and make more entities. If humans didn't do enough of that, nobody would be here.
Somewhere in the middle of their bell-shaped curve, young women find older men attractive. They have reasons in their head, such as "He's so cool; he's been around and knows things; I bet he's good in bed!" Mom Nature's reason for wiring young women to have those ideas is that an older man must have good genes to get him to live that long.
Likewise older men, in around the middle of their bell-shaped curve, find younger women attractive. Their wiring prompts them to think "She's so smooth and cute and devoid of cynicism. I want to experience her joy and innocence!" Mom nature wires them to think that way because this younger woman is likely to live long enough to bring his children to adulthood.
Finally, I'll stop with this observation of Nature's cruelty: Men typically stay attractive for more years than do women. The reason, IMO, is that men can continue to sow their seeds for a long time and benefit the genetic diversity. Women, IMO, typically lose their attractiveness so they won't be tempted to stray from raising their gene-bearing children.
I like this thread and everybody's posts! Please don't let my clinical discussion above stop anyone from exploring the poetry and beauty of sexuality. It's glorious and wondrous and hugely beneficial to our lives, 3D and beyond.
All flavors of sex, straight, bi, gay etc., excellent and disappointing, add to the collective experience of the One.
