"Unwin’s and Eberstadt’s research provides strong rational justification for the inference that God’s moral laws pertaining to our sexuality, although they may restrain us from some immediate pleasure, protect us from enormous long-term suffering while maximizing our long term flourishing."

I came to a similar conclusion. I went from thinking sex was no different than a sport to a more "conservative" view of it now. And I also think it can be applied to more than sex. Our societies would be better with less hedonism, I'm sure of that. The constant need for shots of dopamine are very, very detrimental to individuals and hence to society.

The individual isn’t the unit of society, the family is. A lack of sexual morality is death to the family.

I consider families as the core of a society but they are still made of individuals.
