Yes, but the "desire to reproduce" isn't a desire to spill bodily fluids, it's a desire to have sex - specifically, with a female. That's why you get to see stories of guys doing stupid things during dry spells in their sexual lives. :p

Absolutely no free will was used there.

It's not about what you do, it's about why. Sex is always a choice.
Why do you have sex with females?

I'm going to go with, the purpose of life is continued propogration of the species for $1000 Alec. And unless there is one helluva evolutionary change soon, no amount of time that inspector jihad and his boyfriend spend alone in the bedroom will result in an additional homo sapien coming out of there.

Bullsh1t. Plain and simple.
You do not have sex with females to procreate.
Unless you have had or attempted to have a child every time you have ever had sex?
No? I thought not.
You have sex with women because:

A: It feels good
B: You are attracted to women - Because they're curvy, smooth to touch, smell good, and have soft squishy parts in all the right places.

If I am wrong then I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

No my instincts to reproduce are satisfied whether or not I wear a condom.

Your "instincts to reproduce" are satisfied even if it's your hand doing the job.

no they certainly are not! if that were the case the species would have ended long ago.

Some people move on from their hands to other humans. So do not...lol.

BINGO.... people just wanting to sue a company to get some money

I'd bet they know very well that they WON'T see a dime. It's all about making a "statement", threatening other businesses, and the sympathy factor. "Oh, us poor gay people - no one wants to be fair to us." Eharmony's Christian-orientation just makes their target larger than it would be otherwise.

It's not about what you do, it's about why. Sex is always a choice.
Why do you have sex with females?

because my sole purpose on this planet on a genetic level is for me to proliferate my dna throughout the cosmos. This involves engaging in as many female sexual encounters as possible. I don't believe I was given a choice for this...This is why I've always been attracted to females, my brain and dna are hardwired for this, they are in cahoots...they drive my actions so that I can have the most opportunities to successfully reproduce. I think thousands of years of evolution have honed this instinct so well that I can decide if a female will make a proper mate with just a simple glance.

I didn't ask why does sex exist.
I ask why do you have sex with females...lol.
Would you still have sex if you could not have children, or she could not?
Hell from what I hear that is a plus :p

Clearly our conscious mind has power over our primal instincts, for instance I can choose where, when, with whom I want to engage in sex. I cannot choose who I am sexually attracted to, and I cannot control the urge and drive to seek sex with adequate females. Those two things are hardwired. How I decide to act upon them are within my control. So to answer your question, would I still have sex without leading to children. OF COURSE. My hardwired primal instincts don't care about condoms and birth control. They follow the course of power in numbers.

So...listen I am just gonna cut to the chase. Are we gonna have sex or what?

Is "lessor" a word?


Education, spelling, grammer, does not good genetics make. Why does nature make them crave to not repoduce? Simple, their genetics are not good enough. You see it in all sorts of animals. Nature does not care what you have to give to society. It cares about the strongest genes. Obviously a gay person has some kind of problem that the body is trying to prevent passing down to future generations. It is just like a penguin sitting on a rock instead of mating.

I think it's all about your body tricking you with pleasure to get you to ejaculate after an orgasm. If there was no orgasm, well, let's not talk about that.

I'm sorry to tell you, but comparing homosexuals to blacks, Asians and people with disabilities is just plain stupid. Gays ARE NOT a different nationality, a minority or a different race.

All this 'protection' for the gay community...give me a ****** break. You make a choice to be a rug muncher or a noodle nuzzler and all of a sudden you want minority status. No one offers minority status for white guys who decide to be with a black woman or an asian woman who decides to be with a black guy or a European guy who decides to be with a latino woman. The race, gender, creed, et al of the person you decide to engage is sexual activity SHOULD NOT entitle you to 'minority' or 'protected' status.

Well, people don't beat white guys to death simply because they're white either. They don't generally call you whitey or some other derogatory hate speech either so STFU.

Man, there's nothing worse than an angry homophobe...:roll:

I'm placing my money on a gestational anomaly. Homosexuality does not run in families, does not follow cultures, and has remained a fairly constant percentage since recorded history. I know gays don't like being thought of as a "birth defect," but it's the only logical answer.

And what if you found the same sex attractive, and the opposite sex repulsive? Wouldn't that be natural for YOU? Of course it would.

A person cannot choose who they are attracted to.

Wrong.

Should pogo sticks and unicycles be required by law to be designed to be used by quadriplegics?

I'm sick of people abusing the philosophy of civil rights and discrimination to whine about anything they don't agree with their marginal 0.0001% position.

You expect someone to respect your right to be gay, black, retarded, whatever, but in return, you show zero respect for that persons private property rights and right to not be gay, black, retarded, whatever. Discrimination accusations are double standards at their best.

Also, last I checked, the idea of discrimination was only supposed to apply to government positions since the government is required to maintain a neutral stance on societal values and not intervene in personal affairs.

What if I don't like the color green, can I file a discrimination lawsuit against somebody who obviously purposely used green carpet or displays green products to offend me and discriminate against me?

It's time for political correctness and sensibility to die. I'm sick of the trends I see like cartoons always having the obligatory kid in a wheelchair, a brown kid, a fat kid, a skinny kid, etc. Barney the dinosaur and Dora the Explorer are lying to your children. We are NOT all the same.

Wanting to stick your dick in someones poop hole is a choice. By saying that gay is genetic, then why isn't pedophilia genetic? And if it's genetic then pederasses should go to jail for screwing little kids, hey it's genetic, they can't help it.

Do you even need a scientific proof to believe homosexuality is biological? Where do you think this "coming out of the closet" phenomenom come from? The social climate has been anti-gay in the vast majority of this country. You got to ask yourself why would anyone actually "choose" to be gay when it could negatively affect their jobs, relationships, and sometimes their life (ie hate crime)? Why do some gays come from predominantly heterosexual Christian family? Why would they "come out of the closet" when they have been raised all their life to believe that homosexuality is wrong and immoral?

It's true that gays can't reproduce with other gays, but can you accept that heterosexuals are the ones carrying the genes? What scientists have found out is that in any large population or society there will be a subset population of gays. This is true in humans as well as other mammals. You can choose to ignore statistics all you want, but that is reality.

Wanting to stick your dick in a poop hole or a vagina is NOT a choice. The desire to do so is NOT a choice. The act of sticking your dick in a poop hole or vagina, however, IS a choice. Learn to distinguish the two.

Don't compare homosexuals to pedophiles. Sexual relationship between consenting adults is different than the sexual dynamics between an adult and a child. The law specifically spelled out the age of consent to prevent abuse. There is a good argument that pedophilia is genetic as well. Irregardless, choosing to do something illegal should result them going to jail.

And there is nothing wrong with discrimination in most cases. I'm sick of this PC bullcrap! Is it discrimination if I refuse to teach a guy with no arms to box? What about refusing to teach a mentally handicapped man to be a MMA fighter? Is it bad discrimination that I do not give guitar lessons to children? I just don't like working with them. Can we sue sports illustrated for refusing fat chicks for the swimsuit edition? My mom's doctor refused to see her after a car accident, she said she does not take accident cases because of the court time usually involved. Should my mom sue her? Should the military be required to take recruits with epilepsy? What about guys with handicaps that prevent them from doing basic training (like being in a wheelchair? Further more, can a guy in a wheelchair sue me for not having wheelchair access to my new stairmaster only gym buisness?

They do not want to target that demographic. I think NAMBLA should sue them for not offering a matching service for men to find little boys. I mean discrimination is discrimination after all.

This was the best reply in this thread, and all that matters
