Why scientifically, do we need procreation as a species?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dual purposes of sex: procreation and pleasure. Participants argue that the enjoyment of sex is essential for human connection and societal cohesion, suggesting that the majority of sexual activity is driven by pleasure rather than solely for reproduction. There is no definitive measure of what constitutes "too much" or "too little" sex, as personal circumstances vary widely. The conversation touches on moral implications and societal norms surrounding sexual behavior, emphasizing that individual responsibility is key. Ultimately, the enjoyment derived from sex is seen as a fundamental aspect of human experience that contributes to population sustainability.

Once again, i have no idea if i should take that a compliment or an insult. Since its probably an insult, i'll consider it a cmopliment, making it easier to reply...

Things are more fun that way.

Or if you just blew $150 bucks on dinner and she's been flirting all night, but changes her mind when you try undoing her bra.

Is that in Arizona dollars? And to think I was going to settle for the blanket fort in the kitchen. I'll have to raise my prices. :smile:

SEX IS AN ADDICTIVE DRUG!

It is. I'll have to write up something about that for the bio forum one of these days.

I'd respond if I knew what either of those things were, but dictionary.com is 404 right now for some reason. Let's just assume I agree with Franz.

Wouldn't that normally be a bad assumption, or am i confused again?

Oh ok. Usually people who disagree with me in one area just decide that I'm wrong everywhere else, so that's an unusual position.

Some people (men) think that sexual pleasure has to do with the Physical Size of the genital organ. The longer the better!
To men, may be this is true.
But to women, sex is not only limited to physiology, but encompasses mentality too,
they need romantic ambience before having sex.

Another question is,
do you think sex is limited to "the penetration of penis into vagina?"
Is it ok to do something more than that? To find other "inlets" ?

serius question!

Can sex be defined as something more than "sexual organ" ?

Yep, that's what it said, once we beat each other to death, we'll both mellow each other out...but where's the fun in being mellow? :biggrin:

My personal definition is that if a person climaxes, it is sex of one sort of another.

Most youngsters have masterbation, which gives them a certain level of sexual pleasure. So, it is naturally they will feel curious to Explore sex with opposite sex. As long as they know how to avoid pregnancy and STD, do you think it is ok for them to ignore Virginity ?
I agree but most adults don't. They just say don't do it until your older but they don't know how hard it is to not want to. It's hard because you want to try it but you don't want to get and STD or pregnant.

Moonbear said:
We only need it once we've had it. It's a lot easier to not need it when you don't know what you're missing.
NOt really. It's hard not to do it because you don't know what you are missing. Everyone everywhere is talking about it (we even talk about it in some classes) and it's hard because you want to know what you are missing.

Yes and no. Yes if you are talking about weather or not it determines if you are a virgin or not. No beacuse you could do other things (oral sex) to get the same pleasure. Oral sex is not really "sex" but you still can get the same feelings without having "sex."

Using condom can reduce men's pleasure,
what alternative we have?

Masturbation. No condom, no sex, unless it's with your wife for the purpose of procreation.

The survey shows that, in america, most youngsters will feel shy if they are asked whether they have sexual intercourse experience and the answer is No,
thus, they are forced to get involved in sex as early as possible to avoid shame.

True?

It depends on who you are. There are some people that think that they have to do it to be "cool" but most people I know don't. Usually the people that call themselves "pimps" think that they have to do it. Most people just want to do it to see what it's like.

No, they do what youngsters have always done; they lie about it and say they did when they didn't.
