So is it ok then to have casual sex with lots of different partners when the universal biolgocial purpose of sexual intercourse is reproduction?

Also, what about gay people?

Just curious...

The fact remains that our Designer, The Great Architect of the Universe, designed the human body in such a manner that pleasure is found in flirting, in foreplay, and in sex. And these acts cause a mental bonding between participants.

These features were built into the design of humans by our Designer.

It is my understanding that even among many people who are no longer capable of reproduction these features of pleasure and bonding are often still fully functioning.

So you see the 'purposes' of sex are many, and reproduction is not the primary purpose. For reproduction only works for a shorter period of one's life span, as compared to the other purposes of sex.

These are the facts.

Reproduction is the primary purpose of sex. There are some people who don't enjoy sex. Everyone can create a child (if they're capable of reproduction). Even "the Designer" said to "be fruitful and multiply" not to just get busy.

Sexuality is far more biological than most are aware of. The pleasures that come from sex are a part of ensuring that we continue to multiply. It even comes right down to attraction.

This is not to say that making children is the only purpose it serves, but it is first and foremost.

Personally I like to look down at women having sex and I like to look up at women having sex.

As long as I'm on top or she's on top, all that really matters is she's having sex with me no matter how I look at it.

Actually, sex is used by many species, including our own, for a lot of different reasons. These might be to keep the peace in society, to appease, to show dominance, to show loyalty, or to strengthen bonds between pairs or among a number of different members, as well as to relieve stress and ward off depression; sex is not, at least among mammals, necessarily for reproduction each and every time. And it never has been, as far as history and paleontology can tell.

Whether or not a Designer pointed His finger at the planet and zapped that into being so or not, it is so. And bonding is a tremendous drive among societies and between pair-bonding species.

We "use" sex for a lot of different reasons and some of them are emotional and/or societal.

There is this cool set of books our creator gave us. In it is one book called the Song of Solomon, you may like to read it at some point.

Sex was given to us, in this design of human for pleasure.
