"Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries&

[The One and Only...]

I hate to admit it, but the fixation on sex in our culture is really starting to disgust me.

[Emu]

Why? Sex is life's raison d'etre or however that saying goes.

Also, I don't think my signature has ever been more ironic.

[The One and Only...]

It's not the act of sex itself that bothers me. Or how frequently one has it, or with how many partners, or in what position. It's just that it seems to pervade every part of my life at this point.

I enjoy porn as much as everyone else out there, but damn...

[Emu]

It pervades every part of life because it is life. The fact is, sex has always pervaded every part of life in one way or another. In most, if not all, ancient societies, rulers and the upper class always had harems, rulers having upwards of a thousand women all to themselves, from all over the area. Simpler tribespeople always had a god of fertility and the focus of their life was to have more children, for economic as well as spiritual reasons. A little closer to home, the Christian church has a way of policing everyone's sex life right down to the bedroom. In fact, anthropologists are beginning to believe that our large, powerful brains and everything that came forthwith (philosophy, mathematics, psychology, and anarcho-capitalism debates on the pristigeous i-Mockery forums) evolved as a result of a sexual arms race between men and women. The books I've read that explained it best were Matt Ridley's "The Red Queen" and Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene."

What is that, a psuedointellectual justification for misogyny?

[Emu]

Yes. Yes it is. Get in a line, girls!

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Hey OAO, how about stop looking at porn 24/7? The reason sex prevades your life is because you allow it too. Just fucking stop thinking about fucking.
