It’s understandable for people to want other people’s stuff, have sex and to eliminate rivals, for example. That doesn’t make the behaviours involved less disgraceful or necessary to prevent.
Guessing I’m misunderstanding—but do you mean to say that having sex is disgraceful and needs to be prevented?

Um… imagine the syntax resolves to something like:
It’s understandable for people to want {other people’s stuff, have sex and to eliminate rivals}. Which is a delicate way of saying that desires to steal, rape and murder are understandable. I didn’t say rape because it is dangerous to even admit to ‘understanding’ or ‘empathizing with desires to do awful things’ in the same sentence as rape even in the context of saying things are disgraceful, evil and to be prevented.

Ah. Clarified, thanks.
(And thanks for asking.)
Some of the things humans do to get sex are disgraceful things. Like rape, abuse of power, status games, killing sexual rivals, that sort of thing.
