Just wanted to get in this convo... As a highly advanced species, most humans aren't concerned with living just to survive. That may have been the case many centuries ago when species survival was top priority and reproduction was a necessity for anyone who could produce. However, that's not the case today. We're at a point in our civilization where something like reproduction isn't quite as important due to the fact that our species is in no known threat of extinction. People may want sex, but it's certainly not top priority for life. Im not saying that it's normal for someone to NOT want sex. That's weird, I agree. I'm just saying that sex isn't necessarily the most important thing, supported by the aforementioned paragraph. For me personally, sex is not my top priority in life. I'm a track runner. I love to run. If I was forced to pick between A.) a life with no sex, or B.) a life with no running; I would choose A,) any day. Sure I'd miss sex, but running is more important IMO. It's the only thing I really care about in this world. |
I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. We are not a highly advanced species. The need to reproduce has nothing to do with any threat of extinction. Organisms don't reproduce because of fear of extinction, they reproduce because they're programmed to. It's the only thing, besides basic survival, that matters.
I understand that you prefer track running over sex. Many people prefer things over sex. And it is totally irrelevant. As a species, sex is always more important than any other activity. You may not consciously feel that way yourself. But even masturbation is sex. It's a simple but brillant trick to relieve yourself from your sex drive for a few moments. Try not masturbating and not having sex for a while. You'll be in agony. Track running will only be a distraction from that agony, albeit a pretty good one in your case, but not so much in my case.
Long story short: there is nothing we as humans as a species desire as much as sex. It is the most important thing in life, and we aren't any different in that respect to any other species.
