The human habit of conducting the sex act in private is a near universal that has not received the attention it deserves. This essay discusses the possible evolution of the practice through changes in human brain structures that allowed for increased social intelligence for political maneuvers, and the ability to be conscious of self. It also examines the consequences of invisible sex for the education of children and for gender relations regardless of cultural and historical context
