i'd like you to clarify your position a little. i don't see how the purpose of sex does not change how we can expect humans to engage in sex.

the standard 'lol biotruthers, don't you know humans evolved past their original caveman biological functions' retort is dumb as all heck.

socialists with your nonsense, humans are not divorced from their biology, nearly every facet of our mental existence is defined by the limitations of our bodies.

Uh, that's not what I meant at all. The purpose of sex is not, and hasn't been for a very long time in evolutionary terms, solely reproductive. A bunch of Greek dudes decided it was at some point and then Christianity capitalized on that, but it's not. Go look out across the swath of animals. See the elder male lizard allowing the younger to enter his territory so long as he gets to bone the younger one. Look at the cows and hen mounting each other to signify they've entered heat to the males. Watch the two bonobo males engage in penis fencing, the two bonobo females engage in face-to-face sex featuring the rubbing of their genitals. Observe the young vixen attempt to mount her mother.

It's funny listening to a biotruther explanation of human sexuality like in the Red Queen, then he mentions that male homosexuals and female homosexuals have different sexualities but then completely ignores the fact that they're opting out of reproductive sex? Durr??

it makes no sense to speak of purpose i/r/t sex, ugh

marriage isnt a babymaking contract either you weirdo
#83
you seem to be confusing 'purpose' with 'emergent behaviors'.

one might also argue that there's more to food than nutrition so nutrition couldn't possibly be the 'purpose' of 'food'.

It makes sense to speak of purpose for any part of behavior or biology that has one. My throat has a purpose. A sex drive has a purpose. But just as my throat allows both air and food, sex provides both reproductive and non-reproductive benefits.

If sex was just about reproduction, we'd use the "cloacal kiss" of birds.

you're babbling nonsense, no one is arguing to the contrary of what you're saying. sex is not just about reproduction, mating rituals are not just about sex, great.

you might be shocked, but even human reproduction isn't just about reproduction, otherwise we'd be squirting crotchspawn all over the place. makes ya wond.er

Uh, Jared Diamond-style arguments are totally based on the idea that sex is all about reproduction. They seek to explain sex solely in terms of reproductive strategies. women adulter to obtain better genes. men adulter to obtain more biological children.

#88
Kind sir, if you had read Jared Diamond, instead of just buying into an lf stereotype you would've known that Jared Diamond says nothing like that, his entire book is an overview of traits which are often viewed as unique to humanity and whether parallels exists within another animals. So obviously since Humans are a largely sexual animal he also covers animals with arguably similar mating rituals, there's an entire chapter in that book about arbitrary sexual selection.

The purpose of showing these parallels is not, the way you describe it, to redefine humanity as a bunch of automatons, but rather to explore the presumed origins of our behavior and everything that it yielded since (aka human civilization).

for example, oftentimes, when trying to get a male bull to ejaculate so that they can get sperm for artificial insemination, they find it does not react to a female cow, so they bring in a young steer. a lot of the time, it will then ejaculate. EXPLAIN THAT, JARED DIAMOND.


Wow A Gay Cow

I'm not really sure why we're discussing biological sexuality with a homeschooled virgin asexual teen.

#96
asexuality seems like the near pinnacle of sense after one has spent 10 minutes on wikipedia looking at the list of terminology that deviants have made up to describe the circumstances in which they get boners
#97
i'm torn. on the one hand good on cyclone teen keeping his lumpy retard roger rabbit genes out of the pool. otoh cyclone teen if asexual proclivities are genetic then you can do a great service to antinatalism by being like that dude who fathered like 300 kids through sperm banks. cut off the breeding lines of hundreds. it might be tough for you but i bet with enough elbow grease you could go into that little room and crank one out a week while thinking about the space shuttle or 1980s vcr repair manuals or whatever the fuck. give yourself for the cause is what i'm saying

asexuality makes perfect sense, however, since we're not vulcans this hardly matters

i dont care that people do it, its still bad. be normal you jerk

#112
if every dude would fuck other dudes if only society didnt forbid it then that's all the more reason to oppose the normalization of homosexuality and especially Gay Lifestyle
#113
i don't think most dudes would fuck other dudes the second society stops telling them not to. i live in the state with the strongest protections for gays in the country, and i have a friend and immediate family social group that is 100% accepting of homosexuality. i personally don't have any problem with gay people and support increasing their rights. nonetheless i dont pop wood to guys. i simply don't find men attractive. i know that this might be difficult to grok for a person who allegedly has no sexuality, but normal people are attracted to certain people and not attracted to others.

reminder that invoker of scientific social method "cycloneman" once argued angrily against the social non-incompetence of the homeschooled by citing a study measuring the comparative emotional states of the homeschooled vs. the mainstreamed. this study

1. was conducted by the american homeschooling institute
2. used as its emotional metrics quietness, politeness and obedience to authority
3. the data was gathered by parental self-reporting
4. the sample sizes were 12 and 8, respectively
