Sex? What's the point?

[Deja Q]

I mean, if there are no future generations then why make 'em to pay for it?

[NC_Nurse]

1. FUN.

I don't want anymore kids. Finally got them all off to college. Yay!

[Bennyboy]

2. "Just another damn thing to take your pants off for....".

3. exorcise

6. Another reason why Al Bundy was frightened of redheads...

4. It's fun, and it's free!

What other fun, free$ activities can you do?

5. Because When Done Correctly, It's One Of The Most Unselfish Acts There Is.

Little in life is more energizing to the soul than mutually shared passion. When done with the right mindset, it's all about putting in whatever effort possible to blow your partner's mind, with hopes that they are putting forth the same mindset and wanting to do the same for you. When done on that level, it is a complete selfless act intended to give the epitome of joy (albeit, even if temporary) to someone else, while being duly rewarded yourself. There are not many things in life in which the benefits of selflessness can be so immediate. :)

8. What about those "one of a kind people" with perpetually incompatible souls?

9. Then They're A Product Of Their Own Limitation And Quite The Exception.

[Deja Q]

13. Ah, but some limitations are as much chosen by the individual, when not bestowed by the Creator...

It depends on the situation, but then we have married politicians so I must be far more whacked than all of them combined...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. As It Relates To Sex, I'm Hard Pressed To Think Of A Situation That Wouldn't Be The Product Of Self

limitation. But since you're choosing to be so enigmatic, I digress...

17. Fair enough - no riddles in this response:

Those deemed not "neurotypicals" by qualified individuals - the autistics, the retarded, the mentally ill. We're not all normal like you.

When I mentioned the "R"-word to a case manager, her response was so obvious even I could figure it out.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. Autistics Can Enjoy Sex, The Mentally Ill Can Enjoy Sex, And The Retarded Can Enjoy Sex.

I still don't know what you're getting at.

Furthermore, if that was your angle, maybe you should've been a bit more specific in your OP by asking "what is the point of sex between the mentally retarded?". Not sure I'd have as clear of an answer.

This thread has taken a really weird turn. I'm outtie.

[Cabcere]

22. You got rejected by e-harmony, too?

:( :hug: :hi:

[PeaceNikki]

10. That was poetic.

Thanks.

7. You must maintain proper poison levels

Lack of expulsion results in an overwhelming amount of poison build up.

Sex in any form is a catharsis to release the poison.

I recommend everyone release the poison!

11. General Jack D. Ripper concurs.

Denial of essence.

[Deja Q]

12. I heard that was the leading cause of entropy...

and the main exploit hackers used to use when bringing down web sites...

Wait, that's a "Denial of Service"... what hookers do when you run out of money...

[MilesColtrane]

16. Inevitably followed by "Theft of Wallet From Pants".

[RainDog]

14. birds do it, bees do it

even sophisticated fleas do it...

we're mammals. we mam therefore we am.

[Deja Q]

18. Even sophisticated fleas... but even unsophisticated guppies do it too.

More often than bunnies, might I add...

[crim son]

20. If you put procreation aside, and you can,

sex can be the most perfect way to attain closeness with somebody you love. Sure it's fun, but it can make you cry with happiness, too.

Me, I'm a big fan of sex. :D

[alarimer]

21. I forget.

It's been a while.

23. What else are we gonna lie about when the fish aren't biting?
