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.Mimsofthedawg said:Did you not read my last point? lol.A random person said: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.Mimsofthedawg said: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.A random person said:Yes, some people do have "just sex." They're called one night stands.
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.
OOOO, point made. I didn't think of porn actually.Altorin said:Not to mention Porno.
that's just sex.
it's not some emotional thing.
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.Mimsofthedawg said: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.A random person said:Yes, some people do have "just sex."

You know what's even better than all that?GamerPhate said: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.
