I'm surprised the student even asked for an assignment. But yeah being cautious of your actions is a good way to put in this example

Don't mind me one question asking this now, it applies to everyone, and think, and don't get offended.
Is sex also part of spirituality?

If sex is performed consciously in awareness, it would obviously cease to be an unconscious, mechanical exercise and become a spiritual loving exercise, which can increase intimacy and love amongst couples. It takes a lot of love, self-restraint, mutual respect and sensitivity to do this however. Rape, molestation and paedophilia are usually done by unconscious individuals, under the control of their lustful cravings.

I think, that's when there is no difference between human and animal

A sex maniac is more of an animal, because he is under the influence of unconscious cravings and tendencies, and they manipulate him like a puppet to do their bidding.
Self-awareness bestows self-mastery in a person, and he performs all actions consciously as a master, and is not a slave to any craving or unconscious tendency.
