Philosophically, it is solely for reproduction and the continuity of the human race and family unit. Many extremely religious doctrines encourage abstinence and celibacy in order to maintain focus on god and avoid temptation. The greatness of sex is in my opinion a bond that two people can share when love or infatuation are present. Everybody has their own beliefs as to sex and sexual relations- upbringing, environment and experience form our sexual ideas. The greatness of sex? The mutual satisfaction- euphoric feelings that people can share.

Although your question did not specify sex between couples, it is interesting that most of the answers assumed that, or answered from that point of view.
Between couples, married or otherwise, it is not only a way to extreme pleasure, but of actually, physically bonding with another person and losing some of your sense of "self" for a while. It is the ultimate give-and-take when done correctly. And, as one partner stimulates and arouses the other, it is an ascending spiral of pleasure.
Now, let's consider the people who are - for whatever reason - without a partner. Perhaps they choose to remain single, perhaps their partner left them, or died. Whatever the reason, unless they find another long term partner, they must rely on themselves for pleasure.
Masturbation.
Two many people - especially men - think that this means a quick stroke and spurt. They totally miss the chance to enjoy the journey, to experiement, to learn, to challenge themselves. Too many of them consider self-pleasure to be inferior to partner sex. It is not.
Speaking as a man who's been happily married for over 36 years, I can testify that both of us want our fair share of ALL forms of sexual pleasure, including solo, and we get it. We also share solo time occasionally, which can be extremely exciting.
The whole point is that the "greatness" of sex (whatever you mean by that) is that it can be an almost spiritual form of pleasure. It makes you feel better. It's good for the heart, mind and soul.
People who don't get enough sex are often miserable to be around.

hello mr.siva prasad,
have u dicovered the greatness of sex,
by the answers above.
yes, if u ask any other question of ethical kind you may not get these many responses.
bcz none is having interest in divine feels.
only sex - a material bond
to improve human race
it is created by GOD to tie a bond between two people.
nothing great than that.

Actually, nowadays, sex is just a means of getting pleasure.
But according to me, it is the greatest power human beings have. With which we reproduce. It gives a person an equal position as for GOD. I mean to produce another human being within yourself is like being extra ordinary, especially for a woman!!
But I feel very sad to say that sex is just a means of pleasue today.
Sex demands respect which we are not giving!!

The greatness of sex is that when two people talk, there can be understanding and unity of actions despite at different and opposing positions.

Sex can be the most gratifying physical act between the male and the female....... therefore its urge is irresistible. I understand cockroaches prefer going hungry for days together than miss the sex act. We human beings make phenomenal sacrifice of individual freedom for the sake of security of sex!!

It is a physiological need designed by nature to ensure procreation, available to humans 'as an option' and with an option to maximise the experience, in proportion to their individual levels of perception into which they evolve !

strongest and oldest human instinct ,primitive and universally
evident procreative power and sense-gratifying- phenomenon in all species of living beings.
greatest instrument of eternal linear flow of life down the time , and a cataytic impulse to determine the sustainability of vital life manifestations on this planet, through aeons.
