I think it's hard to consider the issues because many modern Westerners are starved for ordinary human contact. Ordinary humans are supposed to see other humans, to touch other humans, to share food and songs with other humans. In modern Western countries, we are little units of labor and consumption. We meet our deadlines, we adjust our schedules, we pack ourselves like sardines, and we have lost human contact. Under such circumstances, we are over-civilized. How can we analyze sexual needs objectively?
