Is everything about sex?

    Is everything we do just about having sex?

    Are we here on the planet solely to reproduce as much and as often as we can?

    I had a conversation with some friends where we argued about if there is anything that you do that is not ultimately because it will benefit you in gaining a sexual partner.
    Is there anything in this world that we do that is not ultimately about having sex?
    I myself argued that we all do things just for fun and that the enjoyment of doing the activity is the reword that we are seeking. My friend argued that most activities are a way of gaining something that will ultimately benefit us in acquiring a sexual partner.

    What say you After Hours is it all about horizontal shenanigans or is there more to this grate big world of ours then interlocking genitals?

    I play games (xbox, pc etc)
    Personally I have no interest in finding some kind of partner through that, I already have one but I have always gamed with no alterior motive...
    It's just fun

    But I can see where your friend is coming from, it would appear that about 99% of what humans do is to either attract, meet or just be in the presence of the opposite sex

    Yes

    I play video games a lot, I don't think that will ever help me get laid. But it has to be said interlocking genitals is a big part of life and a big motivating factor in a lot of stuff.

    Does hugging and holding hands count instead of sex?

    Are you improving your hand eye coordination or your logic / puzzle / tactics? Could this be said to be improving yourself increasing your chances of finding a mate?

    I'm just playing devils advocate here but you get my point.

    Well I wouldn't say everything....I mean Pitch'n'Putt....that's not about sex....although now that you mention it OP.....mmmm putting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭haminka


    Almost, it's really fun though I have my doubts when comparing it with chocolate or ice-cream but it's still the most common way of procreating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,652 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Tits

    I mean yes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    No, it's all about food.
    And yeah, some sex would be nice too.

    You're right!

    Last girl I went out with was a nightmare, she wasn't giving it up easy!

    I had to bring her back to mine for sex like 10 times or something before she finally gave it up and let me bring her out for a meal!

    Eat, survive, reproduce - sums up the main aspects. Then throw in power, beauty and questioning or believing in a higher being.

    No, of course not!

    *hangs head*

    Yes, it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭guitarzero


    If you rephrase it as such "Imagine you had no penis".

    Pretty sure every lad you ask would then be pondering the idea of a shot gun or bridge.

    Everything is either sex orientated or denying it IMO.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭theg81der


    Children aren`t about sex, ok you have sex to have them, but the time and effort you put into them is not about sex.

    Education is not about sex. I only started to study ones I had the sex bit sorted and was married - now for higher pursuits. It was something neccessary that is now out of the way.

    Yes most of what other people do is about sex, no matter what they say or how they try to delude themselves. People are not particularly in touch with their unconscious, bugs the crap out of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭Evolute


    It may or may not be but hell is it fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    No, absolutely not. There are loads of things which aren't driven by it. People don't enjoy food to that end; I can safely say the vast majority of people don't enjoy sport/recreation/video games to that end; philanthropy isn't about sex; religion isn't; food isn't etc.

    If you woke up tomorrow in a place you didn't recognise, then I'd say thinking about or actively trying to get your hole would be far down on the list of priorities.

    It's just passing time until you once again have sex :p

    You can look at most things and see procreation at the end of it. If what people are doing isn't directly linkable, (btw how the heck are religion and food not about sex:confused:) then what they are doing is probably concerned with the pursuit of pleasure or beauty. Neither I don't think can be separated from sex.

    An orgasm and all the gooey goodness that comes with the ride is doing similar pleasuring on your brain/body as any other type of fun, and that's the reward that's driving you & giving you the will to live...so you can have more sex. You're both right, well done.

    How naive.

    It would be "oh! a bit of strange!" quick fap first.

    It's about eating and f*cking

    and the only reason one is eating is to have the engergy to f*ck.

    xboxes and sports etc are just things to occupy your mind while your not having sex

    so in a way everything comes back to lobbing it into her boss.

    Philanthropy, charity and war are not related to sex

    Going over to Grandma's is not about sex.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    When you wake up in the morning what is your first thought?

    There is your answer ;)



    Money
    Food
    Sex

    In that order.

    Money? Pffft, If you eint got no money get yo broke ass home.

    (Food? yes, you'd be fúck use to any woman on an empty stomach :p)

    So sex is rarely top of the list.

    It reminds her that she's still paying for that ride 50 years on.

    You better believe it's about sex


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    No, it's all about love.

    Yet with that post you've conveniently just informed a few hundred nerdy guys that you're into gaming, female, and of a doable age...

    Ach é sin ráite, tá tú díreach tar éis insiú do céadta buachaillí 'nerdy' gur mhaith leat cluichí riomhaire, gur cailín thú, 'gus go bhfuil tú "fásta"...
