Why do people have sex?

Many people do it but they usually don't even know the reasons why they do it in the first place.

The function of sexual intercourse has changed and taken on other meanings, it has moved from procreation in the early days to other functions in modern times.

People do it not only because they want to conceive babies but because they seek it as a source of "enjoyment", "hobby", "past-time" because they have found nothing else that is more "exciting" and "fulfilling" to them.

The reason why people play with their and along with other people's sexual organs is actually not very obvious.

Nobody likes foreign body smells nor the foul taste of body fluids on their own, but these are over-shadowed by the sensations of comfort.

The motives of sex is actually based on the needs of primal man. In the early days of prehistoric man, he was facing constant threats from his environment to his physical and mental survival. And the only source of comfort was mainly from the other humans around him.

The females were actually the gender who needed comfort of security more than men did and they were the ones who firstly initiated sex. They needed a source of sexual comfort more than the males did. They offered themselves willingly as a source of comfort to the males who also needed sexual comfort and were willing to provide sexual comfort for the females. This was the beginning of male and female sexual relations many eons ago.

Male to male sexual relations were not frequent because the females were crowding around every strong male around the tribe, who exhibits a strong sense of security. Every male had a crowd of females for his sexual comfort.

Males were physically and mentally strong in prehistoric times, he was a providing of comfort and security to the tribe rather than a seeker as the females were. Therefore he saw no need to seek comfort from sex from other males in the tribe.

As time progress from the prehistoric to the modern. Threats from the environment lessened and men have less opportunities to learn how to deal with threats that had made him a physically and mentally strong individual eons ago. He became the "Sensitive New Age Guy" (SNAG).

This Sensitive New Age Guy is less proficient in dealing with mental and physical threats from modern times, because he does not have much training in this area, due to lack of opportunities. He became mentally and physically weak and often needed much help from other people.

Many modern men thus feel threatened easily from modern threats that harm his identity. Thus, he has moved into the position of females who also sees males as a source of comfort and security. Therefore homosexual men and straight women both seek men as a source and provider to ease their fears and insecurities. Just as the boy who underwent puberty discovered males as this source of sexual comfort, Homosexuals and females do the same.

Sex gives one the opportunity to be most vulnerable to another person. And a person would only allow this if he feels that the other person is not a threat but very "safe" so as to allow this "exchange" of comfort.

People need to occasionally let go of threat thoughts in the mind and rest in safety and comfort. Some people choose the widely publicised concept of sex to seek comfort from threats while others choose hobbies or other relaxing past times.

People who have sex do not usually care about the body smells or tastes of other people as they are usually distracted by the sense of safety and security during such moments.

People do Sex not only for the neural excitement but also as a temporary haven away from daily worrying thoughts and fears. Such as the example of the boy in the first post. Another well-known example would be the soldiers who seek Comfort Women and prostitutes during the previous two world wars. Their daily activities were so full of threats that they required sources for their threat "relief".

Seeking comfort is the main reason why people have the needs for sex. But also remember that they are many other ways to seek comfort rather than from sex alone. Not everyone is obliged to have sex just to prove that they are "cool" or normal. Infact people who have sex to seek comfort only display their lack of abilities to effectively deal and adapt to their threats.

Many youth these days wear abstinence bands to show that they do not require sex. Many others also pledge not to have sex before marriage. These are often strong individuals who are able to effectively deal with their threats with other ways rather than just from sex. They also do not succumb to peer pressure nor care about what other people think of them because they truly know that they are doing the right thing and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Some people need sex but some others do not require it. Sex is based on a conceptual "need" influenced by its wide social publicity and mis-influence rather than as an in-built basic human desire after all.
