A MAN'S TOPIC: Why are They Obcessed with sex?

[Gamine]

Comments here are so so. .

I dont know any guy "obsessed" with sex. .

Sure, some feel its necessary not like food but something one should do frequently.lol

Someone said Girls can get picked up anytime but guys arent that lucky, so they have to grab whatever they get.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

I am not. While I may masturbate a lot.. That is ritualized, and it doesn't effect me, or other people.

 

[antipunt]

simple answer: evolution.

Though the only problem with the OP is that it generalizes 'men' a bit too much. I'm a male, and I hardly see myself as 'obsessed with' sex. Only as much as girls are 'obsessed with' purses, handbags, and shoes, tbqh

 

[Ignignoct]

The reason I worry about sex is because I think that at the rate I'm going I'll never get to have it. As a 19 year old nerd with asperger's syndrome who's never once had a girlfriend or been on a date I worry that I'll be a virgin all my life.

Overrated.

Try choking yourself to get off.

...

Forget that second sentence.

 

[Good morning blues]

This question is formed in a manner that suggests that women don't also want sex. They do. This is the hardest lesson I ever had to learn.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Simple answer: we need to have a drive to reproduce.

Sex is also a lot more fun for men because we literally come out on top. A proportion of women don't even get orgasms and it's more submissive and potentially painful for them to have sex.

 

[Zildjin81]

To the OP:

Is that stereotyping? Really? Oh yeah, it is. If anyone stereotyped women like that they would never be allowed to leave there homes again.

The world frustrates me.

All of that depends on which species you are talking about. From what you said, it seems like you are talking more about lions than humans. We don't really know what our evolutionary behavior was before the advent of speech and written language. To assume that because one species' social behavior is one way, does not mean every other species of animal is the same.

Penguins for example, choose a life mate, yes even the alpha male. The alpha penguin does not go around screwing everything that moves.

I was under the impression we were talking about human behaviour. Why have penguins suddenly entered the fray?

Yes, but there's a difference. Sex doesn't just happen, you have to have two people willing to engage in the act, it's not an uncontrollable urge like pain, if you get hit with a pipe, yes, you instinctively react, you get turned on you don't try and have sex with the first applicable person you see.

Pain can be ignored too. It's just harder because it's so much more important to avoid damage to your body right now than to spread your genes around. Though the difference is quantitative it's not qualitative: my point still stands. And in fact, being turned on is in some ways uncontrollable. Human pheromones were discovered when a scientist accidentally left open a sample of some unidentified human substance and marveled at how much more animated all his colleagues became. Without even smelling the pheromones but only sensing them, everyone in the room was suddenly much more sociable.
This argument makes no sense though: we were talking about how humans are capable of judging their better natural interests without intellectualising them. Whether they can consciously ignore those interests after that gut judgement is beside the point.

It's biochemical. It just goes that way.

I hate hormones

If I'm paying enough money I expect a little hormone if not a passionate horsqueal.

 

[LordCraigus]

I'm, for one, obsessed with GRAMMAR.

Found that a lot funnier than it was probably intended.

As for the topic I haven't really given it a lot of thought. I definitely don't think sex should be anyone's main goal in life, it's not like our species isn't thriving. It's certainly instinctual, as for why men appear to be more obsessed with it... I don't know.

[Cortheya]

That theory doesn't explain why women aren't.

Or aren't they?

They enjoy screwing with us by making us think they aren't.

 

[SilentHunter7]

Its like If a guy wanted to talk to you and his piece was hanging out the front of his pants mildly obscured by his saggy shorts. I freaking dare you to tell me that would not grab your attention.

Nope, wouldn't grab my attention at all.

 

[Simriel]

best quote ever from 2 of my friends
Friend 1: Ah here you are what kept you?
Friend 2: I was with *my Girlfriend* ah I have the worlds worst case of blue balls, shes on her period.
Friend 1: Just stick a towel under her and be down with it.

And for occasions thus, the blowjob was born.

I'm a 17 year old nerd with aspergers syndrome who has to turn DOWN offers of sex. The joys of being cute and funny.

 

[Railgun88]

Sex is great, but I'm not one obsessed with it. It's the fact that subconciously we want to pass our traits so some times it may seem like we are obsessed with it. It's primal instinct so we can only supress it.

Its a contrast between the social interactions of different species. You seemed to be talking more about lions (regarding your description) than humans anyway. Like I said, we know next to nothing about the social or mating practices of proto-humans, so saying that they were like some other species' practices are taking some assumptions a bit too far.

However, even if you are right about human's geneticly programmed behaviors. That still doesn't address my argument, which is that these behaviors are totally, hopelessly out of date. As a species, we are no longer worried about some random wild animal attacking and eating us. Therefor the biological drives behind our need to mate, are also hopelessly out of date. We are no longer in evolutionary competition with any other species on this planet. Therefor our goals as a species must change from survive to spread. To do this, intelligence must eventually take over as the main attractive force for humans.

Again I pose a question:

How long will we survive in outer space (which is our eventual destiny, mind you) if our species still picks mates based on who will keep the wild animals at bay?

Its only a matter of time before our genes change to accomodate our new genetic supremacy (thats what it is so don't call it anything different) over the world. However, patience is not a stong virtue of the human race, and evolution operates of millions of years.

So it's up to the Escapist community to train ourselves to become the supremacy we wish to guide humanity towards.

ONWARD!
