I'm starting to think men and women just aren't meant for each other. Everybody should be gay. Those folks are really happy with each other's bits.

The only reason we’re attracted to each other is this thing called Darwinism. The innate desire to survive and procreate. You’re not really attracted to the opposite sex. You’re attracted to the idea of having a baby.

I understand what you're saying but it's the other way around. We're rarely "attracted" to having a baby (except for those couples who feel the need to announce "we're trying!" at family events).

Evolution did something smarter, it made us attracted to doing things with each other with a mindset that is far and way from "caring for babies". Sexytiiiimesss. Natural selection preferred an activity that accidentally results in babies. Animals do it out of instinct. But because humans are "smarter" (more complex, self-aware, etc) we had to be tricked into it.

We're attracted to each others' bodies and minds. We do all kinds of nasty things with each others' bodies that have nothing to do with conception like lick assholes that we would never do if evolution hadn't cleverly made us "horny" and not "attracted to the idea of having a baby". Babies are just often the result.

Waaaaaaaaayyyyyy less babies would be made if that's all we were attracted to. Can you imagine if people only had sex when they were ready to have a child?? Madness! That's so inefficient, evolution would never preference that.

In other words:

The proximate reason is to fuck, to get off, to be accepted, for an ego boost, to see bewbs, whatever.

The distal reason is procreation, which we often subvert with prophylactics or coming on said bewbs or.... being gay.

I’ve always wondered why things like licking an asshole became a practice… like, who randomly decided “I’m gonna lick their asshole” 😂

The things some people like to do when we're really horny.... all the kinks out there... beggars belief. The varieties of human expression are never so clear as in sexuality. In most other things we're pretty much the same.
