What are the scientific reasons for having sex?

There is no practical difference between using contraception and converting to Islam.

Does that make my urologist Mohammed for converting thousands to Islam by performing vasectomies?

Are you crazy? LOL THAT, FRiend, is just plain nutz.

My, what a substantive statement.

Westerners reproduce at below replacement rates, and the USA is the only Western country of any size that is reproducing at a replacement rate.

Europe is being overtaken by Muslims because Europeans are no longer producing enough children to sustain their population.

People who intentionally limit their reproduction are handing their future over to the Muslims, who aren't.

There is no practical difference between ceding the future to Islam and converting to Islam. One is still helping them to gain the ascendancy over the West.

I refer you to Mark Steyn's recent book America Alone in which he describes the demographic situation in detail.

Right now, one in every three children born in France is Muslim, despite Muslims comprising only one in ten of the population. In 15 years that ratio will be one in two.

While I don't count myself among the "sex only for procreation" types

I would clarify the above by saying that the primary end of sex is procreation. But a secondary end is the unitive (aka the pleasurable) aspect of that act.

[ArrogantBustard]

the "sex only for procreation" types,

I don't recall having met very many such ... I'm certainly not one. I doubt wideawake is, either. OTOH, see tagline. Human sexuality is ordered to the union of the spouses, and the procreation of the species. Unfortunately, some folks have turned it into a trivial game for playboys, with disastrous consequences.

I guess I've been doing it for all the wrong reasons.

[wideawake]

Take it up with Mark Steyn. It's really not my fault if you can't follow the logic of actions and their consequences.

You have a dick-doc named Mohammed? LOL

[Cicero]

I think both Darwin and the Church can agree on one point, if nothing else: The primary purpose of sex is reproduction.

[IamConservative]

There is no practical difference between using contraception and converting to Islam.

According to the Norwegian University of Technology and Science, that is more nutted than the feces of any of the various arboreal rodents of the genus "Sciurus" and related genera of the family "Sciuridae."

[Rudder]

Asexual reproduction is easier, doesn't require being attractive to another conspecific and is the most common means of reproduction. Sex is a selective pressure inasmuch as it favors only the more vigorous, attractive and socially adroit.

geek pickup lines...

It's the demography, stupid ..... Mark Steyn

Oh my! This could take a while. (;

[A Texan]

"There is no practical difference between using contraception and converting to Islam."

Wow, just wow. I don't even know what to say to someone that believes something like this.

[wideawake]

The utter lack of rational responses to the accurate statement I made indicates that you and your cohorts have nothing useful to say.

Look at Western birthrates and compare them to Muslim birthrates and get back to me.

[LonePalm]

You mean you actually have to have a reason?

I've heard it said that women need a reason to have sex and men need a location.
