It feels good to eat. It feels bad to be hungry. It feels bad to get hit on the head. It feels good when you stop getting hit on the head. Etc.<BR/><BR/>Sex is one of those behaviors that you need to survive. Or more importantly, that your genes need. You exist today only because your ancestors desired sex and sought it out. The fact that sex feels good is a relic of the fact that your nervous system adapted to replicated itself, and doing the nasty as often as possible is one component of a larger strategy for survival and replication.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324968314168283095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-45365631110970509962009-02-25T09:35:00.000-06:002009-02-25T09:35:00.000-06:00I was always taught that talking about the clitori...I was always taught that talking about the clitoris makes baby Jesus cry.Andrew T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07562402977211994270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-50734884322834302772009-02-25T09:25:00.000-06:002009-02-25T09:25:00.000-06:00@Badger3kActually, I was thinking about that, but ...@Badger3k<BR/><BR/>Actually, I was thinking about that, but came to the conclusion that sex doesn't <I>need</I> to be pleasurable.
