Because there are severe consequences to it, pregnancies and STDs being just the start.
Yes, it is an amazing thing, and it is not overvalued at all. It's one of the strongest drives we have as humans, and it should be controlled, otherwise it will lead to chaos.

There are no consequences to dismembering people and killing scores of them? The point is comparing sex to violence. Violence definitely has terrible consequences, which is why it is socially taboo.

There's a good scene is the TV series Des where the investigator interviews an phychopath who kept the dead body around and watched the TV with it in another chair. The investigator is interested if Des had sex with the body. To which Des asks who's the real sick person here if murdering someone and pretending to interact with them is ignored, but potential sex with a dead body is what warrants attention.
Reminds me of the GP comment... Also aligns with - murder is so out there that we can joke about it, rape is so common that we can't.
EDIT: sorry, not western culture, American culture, particularly.
