Holy twisted sheets Batman!
One of the first projects I worked on at my new job was the World of Animals. I worked on this iPad app with the animal science editor who can rattle off the scientific names of a species off the top of his head.
Part of this project for him was coming up with hundreds of animal fun facts. But because this app is for children, he couldn't use some of the most fun facts about the animal kingdom, like the fact that same-sex sexual encounters are common in the animal kingdom.
Another fun fact that I learned is that only humans and bonobos, an ape species, engage in intercourse simply for pleasure. The other animal species' engage in sexual acts for a short period of time every year when the females are fertile. They have sex according to nature, and not because the female is drunk and goes home with a guy she just met at a bar. Or because she wants to make her significant other happy. Or because she needs validation that she's skinny/pretty/funny/etc. enough to get male attention.
This post is supposed to be about 50 reasons to have sex. And while the list of reasons that humans justify having sex could go on and on past 50, there really is just one reason to have sex. Just one: To procreate and repopulate the species.
And after seeing the trash that's on TV these days (Bad Girls Club and the Lingerie Football League come to mind) and all the ridiculously impossible standards society places on people, it's obvious that there are some people in this world who should not be allowed to reproduce (anyone on the Jersey Shore, for example).
Whether they can't afford children, abuse them, exploit them, or are just plain stupid, the message is the same: Some humans should not have sex for any of the sometimes stupid reasons humans have sex because it could result in a pregnancy. And no child deserves to grow up with Snooki or The Situation as a parent.
