It&#x27;s not really that strange when you think about it. We are animals that have biological urges. However, we are social animals that live in a society. As a result, we must balance our biological pressures with our societal ones.<p>Let&#x27;s just take the first example - teens who do not want to get pregnant.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what you find strange about this. Teenagers will feel the desire to have sex, but they (and&#x2F;or their families) will be aware that having a baby at a young age can limit your freedom later in life. Thus, teenagers are told to either wait until they are older to have sex, or be sure to use contraception.<p>&gt; It seems... strange, to expect responsibility and prioritization of biological goals from people at some times and not others.<p>Control over our base biological goals is a key part of what makes us civilised.
