View Full Version : The end of sexuality?

I've heard it said that the average size of a birth canal is narrowing because so many babies are being born by Caesarian section. The women with the birth canals which are too narrow for children to fit through end up having offspring that pass on genes for birth canals that can never bear the width of a baby's head.
Viagra allows some men with serious sexual dysfunction to spread their genes throughout the pool...
There are people in society now who identify themselves as asexual.
And of course the first test tube baby is in its 30's.
Where are human beings headed sexually? Is the experience of sex a human value that needs to be preserved?
Let's say, as a species, we don't nuke ourselves as a species and revert back to being primates who kill each other for a few eons until a species with enough panache to take another crack at civilization comes into being. Is sex something we're going to keep around when we're populating the rest of the galaxy with space-age genetically engineered supermen? Why?
The universe made us in its image (If you're the type that believes in reason over faith. If you're not then, well, have a nice life). We exist within everything. The way existence works is that there just is Stuff, and that Stuff encounters other Stuff, and something happens. Eventually more complex forms of Stuff will come into existence, because stuff tends to glom together into more complex structures. This happens because stuff is attracted to other stuff, whether by gravity (on the level of raw physics) or sexual attraction (at a higher level of Stuff complexity). If a complex structure doesn't work within the framework of what Is (that being the Universe), it can't exist anymore, because only Stuff that plays by the laws of the Universe can hang around. Therefore, there is a tendency for stuff to congeal into ever more complex forms, the longer that Stuff exists.
Human beings are just a bizarrely elaborate manifestation of the tendency of Stuff to come together into ever more complex yet logical forms.
Discuss.

I think the time it would take for us to evolutionarily kill sexuality would take a very long time, seeing as how most intercourse and pregnancies throughout the world are still naturally done. Cesarian sections are generally done due to complications, and if you remember---- in the past, many women died delivering children, it was just the way it was (while the child, often, still continued into the world. The only difference now would be that the mother lives to have one or two more children).
Now say, in the next few eons, a nuclear war sends us into an ice age and a handful of humans survive. Women with smaller birth canals and the lack of ability to deliver a child will slowly, and naturally, be eliminated from the gene pool while those with larger will reassert themselves as dominant. Natural selection at work (assuming of course, the unlikely 1984 scenereo has NOT passed where sex and pregnancy no longer exist... and this would take either, thousands of years of no natural sex and pregnancy or, the genetic manipulation of human beings to eliminate unnaturally the need for sex-- and the subsequent control of sex and sexuality).

Honestly, I think sexuality is often far more trouble than it's worth.
Seriously, how much physical, mental, and emotional mayhem does it cause? How many lives does it severely fux0r? Answer: a lot.
Regardless of people's claims about "meaningless sex," I think it's a major psychological force. Abuse it and you're heading for disaster.

I totally don't understand your post. are you saying that nobody has sex anymore?
if anything, sexuality has had a huge increase in the past few decades. you know why brides wear white dresses when they get married? it's supposed to show how they're a virgin. hahaha, not today buddy.
all these little sluts in their early teens dressing like the sluts on mtv, wanting to be like the sluts on mtv. and all the little punk kids tappin that ass. dude sex is everywhere, and everybody is having it (except people on the internet.) sexuality is at a peak today, wtf are you talking about??

During intercourse, no. During birth, yes.

I can speak with some authority on this one in particular. I'm pretty sure that all throughout history there have been people who have had little to no sex drive. I only "identify as asexual" because I finally found a damn word to describe the way I've been my entire life. Others have surely followed suit, along with the media.
I'd say things are about the same as they've ever been. It just depends on where you look.
Part of the reason more children are being born by Caesarian section is because medical technology has advanced far enough to where there's less risk of giving birth that way as opposed to the more traditional way, in the event of even the most minor complications. My best friend gave birth via c-section because her baby was going to be born "frank breech" (butt-first) and the risk was much lower to have a c-section done than to try to give birth naturally.
I'd say that "the birth canal is too narrow" is probably one of the least common reasons for a c-section. I don't have any figures present to back that up, though.

It's catch 22. Jerking off is fun, but it's apparently a sin.

HIV AIDS is the leading cause of death in the developing world. The developing world seems to be on track to creating people with lower sex drives, ironically, as it seems like the only thing that would protect you from ignorance if you were an uneducated subsistence farmer in Africa.
