I guess a culture that is mature enough not to be emotionally overwhelmed by their lust is also one with fewer unplanned pregnancies, a lower population, and less able to compete with more lustful cultures.

I was referring to maturity as a function of age and less about categorizing a whole culture as such. Regardless, I am referring to the maintenance of a healthy level of “fun” so life is more rewarding. It’s not really a trade off as you seem to be implying.
