The new sexual predators

Whether you can grasp it or not, men do have sex without wanting to impregnate someone.

So procreating IS NOT the driving factor.

Procreation is THE fundamental driving factor. You're mixing up the subconscious and instincts with pleasure and desire. Just compare it to eating. People eat fundamentally because they need to survive. The fact that food tastes good is simply a biological, genetic construct to aid in the survival of the species. People eat on the conscious level because food tastes good and it feels good to eat. But the only reason our bodies were designed to like the taste of food was because it was necessary to help us survive. Sex is exactly the same except survival of the individual is replaced by survival of the species.

Geez Ramius, you folks look more like junior high school nincompoops by the post.

You really do need to reach down inside yourself and gasp the fact that biology cannot drive every move of your life.

The Left believes we are not people of choice. They believe we are people who must join the collective or be labeled this or that.

And so far, you folks have bit off on that hook line and sinker with regard to this issue.

I’m an individual. I control my actions. I evaluate what I do and why I do it.

You do not, at least not yet you don’t.

You can tell me why you do things. You cannot tell me why I do them.

By far, men have always been the main buyers of sexual access to fertile females. Women virtually never pay for sexual access to either gender. Women and girls make up the overwhelming majority of prostitutes and escorts, and men overwhelmingly make up the clientele. This is true for every human culture, in every period in history. And it has everything to do with reproduction and the scarcity of the fertile female.

Horse pucky. It has everything to do with the reality that if a woman wants to fool around, she can always find a willing guy. If a guy wants to fool around, for many men they can seldom find a willing woman.

This is true in no small part because the sexual experience is different for men and women. LINK

This was my first post on this thread. Since this post I have had a number of folks jump in to tell me I'm all wet, when I claim sex is undeniably NOT ALWAYS RELATED to reproduction.

The absurdity of the first and last statement above, started this all off.

Read the parts in red above.

In the first part, the premise is that men have always been the main buyer of sexual access to fertile females. If the guy had cut that down a bit, left out "fertile females", I wouldn't have addressed the absurdity of his first point. Fertile females? Really? Good grief!

In the second part, the premise is that men purchase access with reproductive intent, and with the scarcity of the fertile female in mind. Reproductive intent? Scarcity of the fertile female? Good heavens this guy is dense when it comes to purchased sex.

Men don't buy access to fertile females. Men buy access to attractive women so they can have sex with them. Please, lets see a show of hands from people who know of men who go to brothel's to purchase time with women to get them pregnant so he can have offspring. What? I don't see any hands. What gives? What gives, is that it was a sophomoric, ill thought out, absurd, and assinine comment.

If the case would have been made here that men become successful to attract women, and that there was a tacit monetary component to the paring up, and getting married, I wouldn't have had a major objection. That is a part of reality. But then that's NOT what the writer was addressing is it?

No, the writer was addressing prostitutes and the men who purchase their time and sexual access.

Are men buying access to fertile females? No. Are they buying access for reproduction? No. They are purchasing access with attractive willing women so they can have sex.

This has absolutely nothing to do with reproduction and the scarcity of the fertile female.

So bartender, a man walks into a brothel and says, "Is anyone here fertile and willing to reproduce?"

Give me a fricken break folks.

You are both quite wrong. There is a distinct difference in the desire to have sex and the desire to have a child, and societal forces have noting to do with the difference. If you were right maternity wards would be filled with men ogling newborns in the same numbers that go to strip clubs. Sexual acts that do not include the possibility of reproduction would not be desired. There would be no fetishes. There would be no homosexual sex.

This article starts with a premise and then wastes a lot of words trying to justify that premise, even though it is false. Reminds me of the Communist Manifesto, just shorter.
