Why do we have this attraction toward sex?

Have you ever wondered why we are so attracted to sex? Why do we have this feeling for love and to be loved?

The answer is very simple. I can endevour to answer it in a scientific manner or in a biblical manner.

Scientifically:

Some scientists have discovered a long time ago a gene in our blood system that is responsible for being a catalist between our body parts, such as the skin, the eyes, the nostrels, etc and the brain, which is really the largest but most important sexual organ we have. That gene is what's making us go wild with sexuality whenever we "see" nakedity or when we are in sexual or even less than sexual contact with somebody. Given that most of us are hetrosexual we are automatically "attracted" to the opposite sex. Andgiven too that those of us who are not heterosexual, that is Bisexual, or homosexual, they are in turn attracted also.

This particular gene is most active in women, not so much in the sexual sense but ALSO in her want to reproduce children. She will normally come to the age in which she finds it "natural" to want and long tio have a baby. So there you have it in two folds. One, that she gets horny during her hormonial bouts (or to some otherwise) and two, her natural homonial "clock" to need and want children.

If you study the science of evolution you will find that all creatures and humans learn to "survive" the race. That is done and obtained by reproduction. And this urge for reproduction in our systems is what's making that particular gene to make us feel horny and as a result... our sexual attraction to the opposite sex, etc.

Biblically, there is mention in the Kabbalah about the Creater who has embedded this gene into our system so that we may "multiply".

So why fight it? Why make it unattractive and dirty when it's actually in our genes, in our system?

Make love not war!

 

Uh ...

Genes don't travel specifically through the blood. Maybe you meant "chemical?" But if you have a gene, it's going to be in every cell in your entire body.

Also, scientifically, I'd argue that the reason why we have sexual tendencies is because they're necessary for reproduction and survival.

 

There has got to be more to this. Human emotion simply can not be reduced only to physical explanations.

Of course the basic force or necessity comes from the need for the race to continue, and reproduce.

But you're right, why fight it, and what is so "dirty" about it. A lot of what gets taught about "sexual morality" is, I have to say, criminal narrow-mindedness; the kind of narrow minded, sheep-producing "thinking" that has kept true liberal freedom from a lot of people.

Whether we call ourselves hippies, free spirits, or any name, it is up to us to help people open there eyes.

(At least we do not live in the Victorian Era! Lets keep up the program to free people.

 

If they can't, how do you explain using psychoactive chemicals to tamper with human emotion?

Humans are purely physical creatures, and while I understand that it may seem like there is something more to it, I don't understand how other people can't fathom the idea that there isn't something more to it.

In my opinion, it is what it is, which is why it's so beautiful, and fragile.

Quite right. =) *thumbs up*

 

Lmao

Because it feels good

Why do you salivate when you see a really good advertisement for food? Because it tastes good

 

Learned or involuntary (genetic) response?

 

that so true! we associate sex with feeling awesome and we want it. its the only logical reason.

maybe is genes but who cares really.

 

Well yes you have explained it better than me. It's basically a chemical reaction. And the key word here is survival.

So next time you feel all horny and fluffy remember that your survival kit is on mode "On".

 

lol ... "berserk pack," ala Doom. Hehehehe ... :X

 

It's all about passing along your genetic code. Survival of the fittest. Procreation.

Of course it feels awesome, but our desire for it is inbred. Whether or not you want children doesn't matter. Your body does, and sends off the signals to get busy.

 

That is the reason the psychiatric drugs don't do any good. Certainly they "tamper with" human emotion. They do not improve them. They seriously f--- up people's minds.

What is really astonishing is that these deadly substances are approved for use and encouraged by our government, while harmless weed is illegal???? Go figure.

 

sigmund freud.........

 

Freud?? What does he got to do with this? He was utterly clueless.

 

The idea of love is conidtioned. We grow up seeing it in movies, on tv, reading it, hearing people talk about it. We want to be loved because we're all under the impression that life cannot be worth living unless someone loves you. We're raised to be needy.

 

I disagree. Yes, there are movies with plots that exemplify love. But look at what our culture actually reflects: commercials and sports and politics and fast food and "no down payments until 2007" all exude the idea of instant gratification. Those movies are just the foolish daydreams of the Western culture. Westerners watch the movies and they like them, but the next minute they're out buying a faster car or a bigger TV or a better computer.
I think that we're conditioned for a fast, selfish lifestyle that lacks substance. People who suffer the most problems in life (e.g. depression, addiction, suicide) are generally very sold on the idea of "I want this now". There isn't an influence in our popular culture pushing us towards honest, deep connections with other human beings. I think that loving connections with other people provide a depth to life that we would not otherwise have.

We can't be satisfied with insubstantial, materialistic objects. Our bodies are of the material world and need the material world to survive. Our minds and our hearts are of a different realm. Our thoughts don't manifest physically, the manifest within us. And therefore our minds and hearts demand something different to survive. A depth of character and meaningful relationships are what make humanity thrive.

 

What about the singles hotline commercials (with the horrible actresses giggling about how they had so much fun staying in on the phone all night) or the commercials for yet ANOTHER match making web site to help one find their true soul mate?
And every show, or almost every show (you might throw a few exceptions at me) has some sort of twisted love plot, exploiting both sex and the idea of love. What about fairy tales we hear about as children? Of princesses trying to find their Prince Charming or their knight in shining armor?
Maybe these influences aren't pushing us towards "honest, deep connections with other human beings" but they're pushing us to fake that out of desperation.

We don't have only material objects to rely on if we don't have meaningful relationships. People forget that they always have themselves. We always have our minds and our thoughts, but we're so busy panicking about being alone that we become blind to what is always with us.

 

Sure I do...why else would I post it?

 

your utterly clueless.....you obviously havent read up on him. he describes the drives for sex within a human.

 

great joy to have sex... abselutly

 

No way. I agree with the previous poster. It is all sensationalism. First this attraction toward sex is more noticeable in Western culture than the rest, and because of the very reasons you listed above. These movies we watch are filled with auditory infused love scenes that embelish 'love' and create unreachable emotional expectations. Same with sex scenes that are created to look like a performance, but aren't real.

Big movie kisses from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (bad example im sure?) have our eyes fixed on the big screen as wet lips collide and tongues tussle. Art dictates life more than the opposite.

Someone said 'inbred' but I prefer 'programmed' and it ain't Darwin's evofooltion, but culture. Forget Freud and look at Chomsky, Hall, etc. This whole attraction toward sex has jumped centuries ahead once instant porn and cyber sex became Western Culture.
