I find threads such as these quite amusing.
I always thought that Aspies above all would understand such things and see through the modern day bulls*** that surrounds these things.
Male and female unions produce children, children are needed for the species to survive (our bodies die too if you haven't heard) same sex union provides nothing but good feelings toward each other and bodily pleasure. Love exists to facilitate sex, whose prime purpose is reproduction.
Without the reproduction the sex loses any real biological purpose and devolves into a bodily pleasure and achieves a lesser status in society. Once it loses its status it becomes trivialised and seen as primarily for pleasure, contraceptives are used and union becomes common amongst people with little to no feelings towards each other and thus stable reproduction between loving partners becomes scarcer. Less children are produced and a heightened percentage of those are born to mothers who do not love the childs father and so the child is raised with only one parent.
This leaves the child without a major influence on his life and thus hampers his or her worldview, that child is thus less equipped to to take a part in human society and may have persistent difficulties including soem which perpetuate the cycle.
Attraction is worthless unless it serves survival of the species, why do people think we have such impulses?
This place is good for giggles.
That quite frankly is hogwash.
The vast majority of the time when human beings have sex, reproduction is avoided at all costs.
Sex serves a great variety of psycho social needs.
Moreover, a good portion of people- gays, asexuals, bi people, etc, either lack sexual attraction altogether or experience it toward individuals with whom, absent of technological intervention, reproduction is impossible.
"Attraction is worthless unless it serves survival of the species", yes.
But attraction takes many, many forms, and survival of any one species is very rarely if
ever served by every single member reproducing.
