'Sacred' has a more colloquial meaning, and is more broad than purely as part of a religious doctrine.

I also provided a secondary phrase after that word, with or preceding it, to specify what I meant.
So my question stands. I knew what you meant, now explain why sex is a special sphere of human activity that is materially different from any other human interaction without resorting to magical thinking.
... Wow, you're serious.
Uh, because it engenders a whole bunch of deep emotions / massive and unique neurochemical responses in people, particularly it plays a massive role in regulating oxytocin, and plays a considerable role in creating stable pair bonding between two people.

I'm genuienly baffled that you need this explained to you.
Apologies for using shorthand to refer to a whole bunch of complex neurochemistry, I'll be sure to spell out the details next time.
Lol, somebody's never had a coked out bathroom hookup and it's kinda sad.
Sex can involve that kind of intimacy. So can a really deep conversation while cuddling. Sex doesn't have to involve that kind of intimacy, and would be far less likely to as a whole if idiots would stop teaching children it's a special and magical thing that should be sacrosanct if not being used for "creating a stable pair bond".
This kind of thinking is one half a step removed from "sex is so special and magical that people who have it in a different way than me are perverts and should be imprisoned or executed", or the flip side of that same impulse: "sex is so special and magical that the women I want to have sex with should be held in a gilded prison guarded by eunuchs to ensure only I ever fuck them".
