The main thing that separates us from other animals sexually is that we are able and choose to suppress our sexual urges.

To expect everyone to do so in exactly the same way is extremely unrealistic.
Just the opposite, I don't question the human part but the "nature" part. I don't believe there's something inherent to being human, except for our great ability to adapt - that is, not having an unchangeable "nature".
