What IS good, and how do we determine it?

What is it we all did? We all supported a rapist or something? I'd love to see the proof of that. What a heap of shit.

Wrist: You bet! Sex is great, and is obviously largely about pleasure (loving or otherwise). More about pleasure than anything else, in reality. If you took the amount of times people have had sex over the years and worked out what percentage of those times were primarily concerned with conceiving, what do you think it would be? 1%? If that? All the sex I've ever had, and will have, has been entirely unconnected to conceiving. I've always used contraception, and now I've had the snip so I never have to worry about it again. The church can tell people sex is primarily about conception, but they are wrong. It's not even the only evolutionary reason.

It just so happens that we're consciously aware that sex can lead to pregnancy. We're probably the only animal aware of this, so clearly all the other animals aren't doing it for that reason except in an evolutionary sense. They do it because they like doing it.
