ok, in light of theory of evolution, is there any room to consider that sex evolved for other reasons that reproduction?


Sure. Sex also serves to create ties between individuals and social groups. Intimacy also creates in us feelings of safety and well being.
QUOTE
are you saying that orgasm is not a trick mechanism to get animals to reproduce?


No, I'm not saying that at all.

I see sexuality as who you fall in love with. And falling in love, though it's main purpose is reproduction, is far more complex than that and involves a whole host of chemicals that create a temporary bond between two people.

While i agree that sex is mostly for pro-creation this is not necessarily true in all respects otherwise homosexuality would not exist in humans and animals > Women would not still have sexual desire "after menopause"> women would not be most aroused right before their menstruation when the pretty much can't conceive.
I am sure there are many more examples.

Why is masturbation forbidden ?

The bible also condemns masturbation what is a person to do with a healthy sex drive? go rape someone instead ?? Ridiculous


the bible probably condemns masturbation because it was written for a population living at a time where disease or war could, and frequently did, wipe out an entire population. Infant mortality rates were sky high. People didn't live past their early 40's, generally. In a society like that, indeed, every sperm is important for the survival of the culture, so i can understand discouraging masturbation for that society.

What did a guy do when the woman didn't feel like it ?? Don't tell me she was treated like a blow up doll. What was a guy to do ?

As you know many a men have masturbated regardless (I am sure) and look at where we are now ? Nicely "overpopulated" !!

So all "the fuss" was for nothing wasn't it ? wacko.gif

You are under the mistaken impression that women had the right to refuse their husbands.
