  • EVOLUTION! It is mostly an advange to make more of us whenever.

  • i donno what your talking about, girls are more horny than guys once you give them good sex.

    Why are you asking this question at all though? Whys it matter that we naturally feel inclined to fu.ck?

  • Because we are... and we like sex!

  • humans are like animals, obviously sex feels amazing, but instinct has a lot to do with it.

    • i hope you know this, but humans *are* animals. and just FYI I'm talking about biology here, not morality.

    • im not having this conversation again. your an idiot.

    • It's true, though. At our most basic, we're basically bald apes with larger brains.

  • sex feels great

  • because we don't run on pure instinct anymore, if sex isn't an instinct and people didn't like it we would die out because every year more and more people would see sex as a bother , even now we have more and more people opting out of having children because they consider it a bother imagine how much more people would think that way if sex wasn't fun, there wouldn't even be accidents. Fact is once instinct was gone, those who didn't find sex fun didn't have sex therfore they didn't pass their genes on to the next generation so the next generation was made completly out of dna of people who thought sex was fun samething happens with people that don't want kids, they won't so their genes that created a person who thought like that don't get passed on, we call them genetic dead ends

  • There are many other species that want sex all the time and do. Hell, Dolphins gang rape. Ya, enjoy that fun fact.

  • You see it wrong. Bonobos for instance have also sex beyond the reproduction. And yes, they have more sex than human being!

    • I read that as boobs, and kept reading and was thinking... whaaaaATTT?!

  • monkeys are the only other species that have sex for fun and commit violence for fun. not so different us and them huh?

    • hahahahaaaaa

  • Because we're not animals. We're several steps ABOVE animals.

  • Because we have an insatiable craving for something non-physical, which sex seems to satisfy for short periods. I used to masturbate/sleep around like a rabbit, until I realized sex can't fill the void.

  • i guess is because we think,. we choose. also, do you know how often is "mating season" for us?

    now your "specially males" is bullsh*t, I guess you will eventually find that out.

    damn!

    • tell her brother

    • Males do what sex more though, they have more testosterone in their bodies! I'm not saying girls don't want it at all but men have more desire to have lots of sex, and are more open for casual sex, gosh they even pay women to have sex with them! It's not very common for a girl to hire someone for sex.

    • its not very common for girls to be ENCOURAGED to do any of the above. that is the extent of the differences between male and female sex drive. as far as testosterone. men produce more but it is 15 times more powerful for women.. do the math. in addition it is only one chemical there are many others we know if and still more we dont. You are of the opinion men have greater sex drive but until you actually do research and study the Q seriously it will remain an opinion. even then you still won't 'know'

  • We would have a little trouble repopulating if we didn't enjoy having sex. By nature, sexual pleasure is what encourages us to make more of ourselves. The reason why sex feels good is because there's a swirl of hormones and neurotransmitters that course through the brain, dopamine,norepinephrine, serotonin, and oxytocin. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates the "reward" center in your brain. Hit this neural magical button, and you will feel the sensation that your body interprets as "GOOD!". Norepinephrine, whe you are aroused, you'll go through some fight-or-flight phases. That's when thnorepinephrine will be released, making you alert and ready to go. Serotonin is what makes people happy. Oxytocin is very closely tied to sex and reproduction. In guys it causes erection. This is what is released during orgasm. Oxytocin stimulates numbs pain and creates warm, fuzzy feelings of trust and intimacy. Its probably because of all these neurotransmitters we like sex so much.

  • Because sex produces endorphin and various other hormones that are addictive.

  • I'm pretty sure my kid sister's dog isn't trying to reproduce when she (female dog, not in heat) humps my boots.

    Bonobo chimps go at it at least as promiscuously as Humans. Monkeys, cetaceans, some pinnipeds... there are plenty of examples of this kind of sexual behavior in the animal kingdom - homosexual as well as heterosexual.

  • if we didn't think about sex all the time or at least some of the time, and didn't find it enjoyable, there wouldn't be as much of us walking around today

    • that would probably be a good thing though. the world is already over populated and humans are runing it.

    • pretty much

  • Because sex is... sex is..

    how do I say this?

    um..

    F***ING AWESOME!

    • I don't think so

    • what you don't enjoy sex?

    • Yep I don't get all the hype about it

  • what are you talking about? animals want sex often as well if you arouse them just as us humans. Look at dogs for instance they are always humping things everywhere.

  • not more than primates & rodents. to socialize maybe?

  • Because it gives great amounts of pleasure. And it doesn't always end with mating, so why not do it?
