Desire, pleasure, and emotional bondship are parts of the equation. They make sex appealing. There is a reason why fruit is delicious: it helps spread the seeds around.
I think it is these parts of the equation that the media values or devalues. The general public has little or no interest in theories of evolution within the context of human sexual relationships. I have, but my interest includes the complexities of the human brain as a contrast to other animals that lack the unique social aspects we humans muck around with.
