It doesn't resemble sex in any of the crucial respects with regard to why people actually have sex, only in superficial respects.

I feel very young.  The nineties are history.  I wish I was alive back then.

What's his next dastardly scheme, breaking into the sower's house and scattering dust all over the place? Breaking into the fridge and swapping the good food for mouldy food?

I've been killed by bees, an obby oss, lots of cliffs, a few dinosaurs and fire.

Spaceships mightn't be particularly manly, but space war fleets certainly are.

(Where "manly" is a social construct related but not inherently tied to biological sex and please don't hurt me, I like feminism, really.)

I would love to know the context of this statement.

Tachyon

[it was in an IJBM argument with Edmond Dantes, who had posted a contrived sci-fi analogy which was supposed to show why having sex is stupid and always a bad decision]

What was the point...?

Tachyon

not exactly sure, you'd have to ask him

tho he mightn't remember, it was ages ago

the basic gist of his argument was that people were too easily swayed by their sex drives

Sredni Vashtar

It's true, but that's not a reason to reject sex entirely. Just a reason to prioritise better. But whatever.
