The sad thing is that "casual sex" is such a huge part of our culture that I've known people to do it again and again, constantly be bitten in the ass by the consequences, but keep doing it anyway, and then turn around and defend it on all sorts of Penn and Teller-esque high-falutin' moral grounds--ideals I'm sure were far from their heads when they were in the backseat of that car.
As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
The whole point of driving a car is to go somewhere. This is not a "risk," this is what you're trying to do in the first place.
The whole point of sex is to make a baby. This is not a "risk," this is what you're trying to do in the first place.
Or it would be, except that all these fucked-up ideas have dilluted it. Seriously, having sex without intending to make a baby is like playing Mega Man 2 and not trying to beat Dr. Wily or his minions.
Which reminds me of something--remember a few minutes ago when I said you can "fake" the pleasure of sex with your right hand (and excuse me if I'm going into uncomfortable territory here)? Well, that's always struck me as bizarre. I mean, think about it, when you really like something you want more of it, right? I like my fudge-stripped cookies, so when I'm done eating one I want another. When I play a great video game I want to play it again and do better. But with sex? The minute you've satisfied your drive, its gone, you don't want it anymore. Those steamy anime you were watching suddenly just look stupid.
In that sense, the "sex drive" is more like a drug addiction--an addiction that can easily be displaced in a no-cost, no-risk way. Which is yet another reason why letting it influence your decisions is dirt-stupid.

Not quite.
At least in humans and dolphins and some other species, individuals have sex because it's pleasurable.
It just happens to be a clever gambit that also propagates the species along the way.
Ah, Glenn, you forget,
Come on, man. Common sense.
Ian said I was moaning about the "risks" of sex, which he compared to the risks you face when driving a car.
The only "risks" I moaned about were childbirth. I showed Ian that his analogy didn't work because he's comparing something that should be the whole point of the activity, to something that is not necessarily a regular part of its respective activity.
Or for the forward thinking paedophile the child is a pleasure too.Also anime always looks stupid.You are making so many assumptions I don't even know where to begin. Perhaps you could start by considering the possibility that people are rather more complex than you're making them out to be?
That said, the rest of my comment still stands. In probably a majority of cases, people don't engage in sexual activity for reproductive purposes, they engage in it for pleasure.
I'm never going to eat food I like again, because the purpose of eating is to obtain vital nutrients, and eating food that I like puts me at risk of obesity.
I'm never going to masturbate, because the purpose of ejaculation is to make babies, and that defies the purpose if it's going to waste.
I'm never going to just drive around the neighborhood because I like to drive again, because the purpose of driving is to go places, and I might accidentally hit a dog or something.
I'm never going to sleep for longer than exactly eight hours a day ever again, because sleeping in is not the purpose of sleep, and I might get bedsores or some shit.
What if the food you like does have vital nutrients?
No no no no no, the purpose of sex is to make babies. Masturbation is more like a form of garbage disposal, no different than crapping.
And with the way gas prices have been lately, can you really afford to cruise for thrills?
I'm actually pretty sure sleeping is the purpose of sleep.
I love it when people's attempts to mock me actually turn out in my favor.
@Moe-bro: Not to get too personal, but do you practice the celibacy you advocate IRL? Is it voluntarily(cos the rant smacks of sour grapes)?
*raises eyebrow at the sour grapes implication*
Yes I'm celibate and yes its voluntary.
I've seen what happens to people who have wild nights of pleasure. It has never turned out well for them, and I don't want to go down that same road.
