Now that the biological dangers are mostly gone, the adaptations are unnecessary and even harmful.

So are the adaptations that make sex as pleasurable as it is.

Yes, but our goals are not the goals of evolution. I want to keep sex pleasurable; I don't want to keep it emotionally and socially complicated and discouraged.
