| Can I ask spatch, would you defend sexual promiscuity based on the argument that its part of our instincts?
Honest question, not a dig. | |

- Yeah, it does have a ring of communism about it.
I genuinely believe that greed/selfishness isn't a fundamental part of human nature though, more a result of our situation, outlook on life. Selfish genes, mate. I'm interested in how memetic selection pressures can counteract genetic ones in individuals, though. | |

| I have absolutely no problem with sexual promiscuity as long as it isn't hurting anyone else. And there are quite a few species in nature that will only have one mate for their entire lives. | |

| What exactly is your problem with sex? Sounds to me like you're bitter at people who get quite a bit, when you get none.. | |

| That wasn't very grown up.
Its a valid point, people seem to be very 'selective' about how evolved we are. | |

Complete misuse of the word "evolve" aside, territory holds us back as a species in a way that doggystyle never will. | |

| Nah, it's If two people choose to have sex, I really can't see the problem with that, if it's not casing suffering to anyone else.

| not everyone can afford contraception. even then a lack of education causes third world countries to rely on religious advice forbidding them unto the penalty of facing god's wrath. | |

| My point is there are many ways to have sex without having children. Just ask the members on this board that are in a sexual relationship and that haven't had any kids as a result...

| Yeah, but lots of people, especially younger people don't think like that, plus internet porn causes a distorted view of sex, especially when it comes to unprotected sex.
Whatsmore sex is more dangerous for women in the sense they are significantly more likely to find themselves in a horrible situation, which is probably why men have a more 'so what' attitude towards it, because we don't have to worry abour pregnancy, rape and the like. | |

| I'm just expressing my opinion, I know it'll be belittled and not even thought about but hey ho.
Anyway the original point if flawed as if you get rid of money people will have to rely on their skills to get by, which will kill off a generation of art and media students. | |
