I have supported just that contention throughout this thread. There has not been one argument put forth that denies the evolutionary process that made our sex organs and made the sex act pleasurable was for any other reason than to encourage us to have sex. And why would it be desirable from an evolutionary perspective to have sex be pleasurable? Certainly not for pleasure for pleasures sake but to encourage us to reproduce.

Why do you find this so radical? It is a fairly conventional perspective. I suspect it is because the logical outcome is that all sex that is not intended to reproduce is unnatural. Well it is, but relax, it's not that bad. Remember the shovel and hammer analogy? Well there really is no harm if a shovel is used as a hammer.

Obviously I'm late to the game with this one but talk about hyperbole! "Instead of staying in the job to harass and abuse"??? What have you been smoking??? Get a grip.

Please produce some evolutionary explanation to support your position.

I guess my idea of radical and your idea of radical are very different. Because I suspect that the majority of human beings on this planet do NOT believe that "all sex that is not intended to reproduce is unnatural." Really. This belief would most definitely be held by a small and arguably radical minority. I don't even think that the town clerk who quit would believe your assertion.

Especially with the location of the prostate gland in males as to why anal sex is so pleasurable.

I think she made the right choice to quit her job.

Why work somewhere and be miserable? She'd make everyone around her miserable too.

I'm sure she found another job with no problem.

Nah it's not radical. To the x factor, American idol set it may be. But in philosophical and theological circles it is quite mainstream.

Who was the first guy to notice this?

Wouldn't want to shake his hand probably started with hand and just progressed down the line of fun ways to stimulate your prostate.

Anal sex isn't normal sex.

You do know that prostitution is widely considered as 'the worlds oldest profession'... Why would people pay for sex if it's only used for reproduction?

In theological circles sure.....but not historically.

Since I don't belong to the "x factor, American idol set", I can say with confidence, you are mistaken.
