The meaning of life is basically reproduction, and while it is possible to reproduce without having "sex" (IVF etc), it's still the main method used, so yeah, in a way everything we do do is for sex, because it's one of the most basic instincts, and the way to ensure our genes are passed on, as with every other animal.

no, reproduction is how life perpetuates itself, but that does not mean that the meaning of life is to reproduce, or that there even is a meaning to begin with. and even if it were the meaning of life, it hasn't been shown that everything we do is for whatever the meaning of life is.

you do this...you post on ATOT to interact with people and gain knowledge...(or dumbness) in order to get to know more people which in turns may lead to a mate.

Very much wrong.
We do many things for food, shelter and security.
Then there's social needs to belong and be loved.
We want to be accepted and respected for our work.

Not there aren't a lot of things people do for sex, or the slight possibility of it...but no, not everything. If we did everything for sex, what reason would we have to advance technology? You can't tell me some nerds in garages somewhere are making the next game to turn a genre on its head and that they are doing it to get laid. Or designing a flying machine 100 years ago, or pretty much any other pcoket-protector project.

thats a harsh way of putting it... lol. i think sex in this context is also approval by the opposite gender. which leads to sex. ;)

as for atot... dont bs me. you all hope that dezign will look at your post. maybe even RESPONDS to it. maybe even QUOTES YOU. *heart flutters* haha.

That's almost scary, because I can imagine that there are posters here thinking of just that.

No. I post here because I would rather be bored here than bored trying to write an essay.

There is very little knowledge and even less wisdom that will be lost or gained by me while here.

I know that it will not lead to a mate.

I don't even WANT it to lead to a mate, I'd rather find someone in real life.

Food, shelter, security live long enough to have sex
social needs the reason for that is mostly was safety in numbers; living to have sex
respected people have more sex

Yeah, as if the 25 year old virgin dude would even know what to do if he decided to have sex.

You're a moron.
