I think we tend to overanalyze our ancestors. It's understandable, I suppose, in the sense that we want to think of them as 'uncorrupted' beings that were more spiritually advanced than us, living in harmony with their environment, etc, but it just doesn't wash.

Our ancestors were less complicated than we are psychologically, in my opinion.. they probably weren't so hung up on the abstract interpretations of sexuality. Sex was pleasure. Sex was procreation. It wasn't burdened with the political and social constructs that we've loaded it up with.

Of course, I've got little to go on for proof here, other than intuition.
