The meaning and significance of the act is dependent on who it is you do it with and what feelings you hold towards that person.

However sex to others may just be simply "hit it and quit it", and for them I feel sorry.

it depends you can have a relationship and "make love" or you can just have sex for the sake of getting off

i think it depends on the situation really

Yes, some people do have "just sex." They're called one night stands.
But no one ever has a one night stand as part of a biological process - if it was for that, they'd do a one night stand to get preggo... but they don't.

It's never just sex. There's always something to it. Whether it's for fun, procreation, or any other reason emotional or physical, humans don't simply do it instinctively.

One could argue that emotions "trick" us into acting instinctively, to which I'd say your point is irrelevant because either way, perceptually we don't do it for frank, biological purposes.
Biologically we're conditioned to do it for the pleasure, that pleasure existing to facilitate procreation. Doing it for fun is what you'd call it.
Did you not read my last point? lol.
That last one would also argue that we don't eat food or drink water to live, we do them for the pleasure from them. Nothing we do is just biological according to your last paragraph. My point is that biologically, we're conditioned to want to do these things for pleasure, the pleasure motivating us to do things that help us live or in this case reproduce. And yes, doing it for pleasure is a frank, biological purpose.

And don't say "lol" after your sentence, everyone here's very annoyed by that.

ALl depends on the situation, sex is just sex in technical terms but we all know that "sex" isn't just the act of getting "stuck in".

Its the whole ritual involved if you will, on that train of thought were just like animals with our social bonding and actually getting to the point of "sex". If you think about that way the whole dating thing is just like a bird flapping its wings and squarking really loudly to attract a mate.

Also, I'm a kinetic person, I need touch so to me I need physicality.

Most of that is a "well, DuH!" comment. I mean are you telling me that people usually have a underlying reason for their actions? Here I was just willy nilly doing things for no rhyme or reasons all my life.

Sarcasm aside, yeah people have reasons for doing just about everything they do. Even if it is just the crazy making them get the axe, that is still a reason.

Oh when you say sex is more than an act, you are talking about when people claim to have feelings and emotions afterward. Sadly, all feelings and emotions are just chemical reactions in the brain to stimuli. When you feel happy, it is serotonin or a dopamine being released and the uptake receptors in the brain freak out and go, OMG .. a moment of happiness is this wretched world.. and you glow for a bit. Take all the BS you go through in one day and put it in one hand, and in the other hand, put all the good stuff you get in one day. Now tell me that the first hand isn't MUCH MUCH heavier than the second. So what happens, the brain chemistry is interesting, it releases either dopamine or serotonin and your body freaks out since its use to just feeling normal. So, some people started to call these sensations "feelings". Sadly, feelings are just thoughts we have programmed our brains to feel strongly about through personal or external experiences throughout our lives.
You know what's even better than all that?

The fact that you know that and that it doesn't affect your daily life at all. You don't go through life, get a bar of chocolate and say "Hey, I am having dopamine pumped into my brain lulz". You're just happy.

Therefore, the chemistry of the brain has no bearing on everyday life. That is, unless you're an M.D. searching for a way to solve "Issue X" with humanity.

This.
Being a person who has engaged in both long term monogamous relationships and one nighters, both answers are correct. It is both a biological repsonse and the desire to enjoys ones-self.

Being someone who has experienced both sides of the intercourse spectrum, there is just sex, some of it is two people who want it and will get it, or two people who are looking to do something they wouldn't want to do with someone they knew, something new something experimental

And then there is the sex with someone who you love, which for one doesn't leave you with a empty feelin inside, and smiles in the morning, =D

instinct tells us to do whatever we like, at the moment we like it, emotions,prejudice, narrowmindedness,fear and all other little emotions, get in the way and fuck it up

I dont think the question is "do people have sex just to have sex anymore" I think the question could be phrased more dilligently in the direction: Do people even realise their emotions make them predictable and captive to their own mind?

one cant just DO something for the sake of DOING something, if you have to think and feel about it,thats the point im trying to make, dont you ever just for the sake of doing something, do things without thinking and never ever ever ever even for a microsecond think back "huh why did I do that?" or "I liked that"

if one really does something just for the sake of said action being done, one must be 100% indifferent towards the subject, and the outcome.

so the truth is.. in my opinion anyway, Humans cant do anything just for the sake of doing something without it turning into some major philosophical life altering experience(exaggeration)
