Hate to be picky, but why is sex "intended as a total union ..."?
Neither holy books, nor Darvin said anything of that kind.

I can add that I think sex still remains "stimulation of ...". It
is your feelings towards your partner that make it so very special
for you ONLY. Same act can be viewed as ultimate union, or whatever,
by one party, and as an average lay by another.

It seems that either your distinction is not meaningful, or you just
not phrasing it right
