Those things occurred as a result of sex having zero unintended consequences. If things have more risk, less people will do them. And with this we are talking the risk of going to an abortion clinic vs the risk of 9 months of pregnancy plus 18 years of raising a child. Suddenly sex would have a lot more risk and therefore would not be done as much.
Btw you can still see this in society today. Teenagers do not have sex nearly as much as college students despite arguably having more sexual desire. That is because teens realize that there is a huge risk in having sex including the risk of unplanned pregnancy due to lack of birth control at that age, social stigma, and disappointment from parents. This means that even teenagers who are famous for having lack of self control are still able to control themselves when the stakes are that high.
