>Arguably the most stable societies are those that existed for 10s of 1000s of years before the agricultural revolution etc.

Societies of n>100s. By tabooing sex you reduce promiscuous behaviour - which stabilises society. I don't really see how this would be controversial. Modern social values have unambiguously shown that they lead to a population decline. Huge difference being that technology makes us less reliant on population count for stability (hopefully).



Is there evidence at all that tabooing discussion of sex reduces promiscuity? I'd expect the exact opposite is just as likely.
