Tansy: My purpose here was to suggest an analogous lens through which to view marriage that I’d hoped would provide insight otherwise hard to grasp. I didn’t intend for anyone to view marriage only as a business.

Biological side of the intimate, woman-man relations has not been even contemplated. ‘Sex’ was mentioned only once, as a passing reference, in one of the commentaries (alfaprima). No wonder that Margaret Mead, the anthropologist, asserted that the Western world, including Americans, is ignorant and primitive when it comes to sexual matters. This is perhaps the shortest explanation of the main if not sole reason for the perplexing and excess breast cancer epidemic in women of reproductive age, as well as of the rampant anorexia-bulimia disorders (conveniently, but wrongly called “eating” disorders) in schoolgirls and other young women (daughters). Long ago, in a hypothesis-testing study, initiated and carried out at two American universities, in the mid-1970s, the evidence was corroborated that the CONDOMIZATION of female sexuality was significantly associated with the development of breast cancer in American married women. The evidence of the significant condom-use and breast-cancer link was fully confirmed in a while by the (explicitly predicted) natural experiment of breast cancer upsurge and intensity of a rapid and unabated rise and spread of the current breast cancer epidemic, ever since the early 1980s. Inferences were drawn from the study results about both a potential of primary prevention of breast cancer as an epidemic disease(s), and a new, inclusive definition of the most enduring, basic human institution, the marriage. Besides the customary definition of marriage as a psychological, social, legal, economic (‘business’ in this case) unit, the marriage along with love, sexuality and family life was comprehended as a profound biological woman-man union, with physiologically powerful impact upon the spouses, particularly woman. The harm to marital relations and woman’s health, life and happiness was done by the misconceived, mass scale promotion of condom-use barriers which have deeply corrupted / upturned the intimate (sexual) ecosystem of the couple, by introducing technical effects of absolute male sterility in marriages, with effectively eliminating the putative protective seminal factors in the interhuman micro-environment. No wonder that the women are those who in majority file for divorce nowadays, rather than the males. The biological meaning of marriage, love and women’s needs and functions would perhaps be better understood along the way of the anticipated efforts for elimination (‘eradication’) of the current breast-ovarian cancer epidemics to a rare and low level of scattered cases at individual, familial and community stages.
