Does intelligent design explain why...

[RobbyPants]

Sex gives you pleasure?

Evolution explains this one nicely. Intelligent Design is just a thin veneer skinned over top of creationism, which is a bunch of make-believe. If we're going to look to make-believe for reasons for why sex feels good, well, I guess we could make up whatever we want!

1) God loves us and wants us to have fun during sex.

2) God doesn't want us to have sex whenever he wants, but made it feel good to tempt us, because reasons!

Sky's the limit here. Go nuts.

Because if our more primitive ancestors didn't enjoy sex or eating, they would not have survived.

This was exactly my point/question... Why was it enjoyable for our ancestors?

Is there a scientific or evolutionary answer to why 2 essential parts of the human race's survival feel good?

I would consider it likely that they developed randomly and were easily selected for; the individuals who happen to find copulation pleasurable are more likely to reproduce and therefore to pass on that genetic trait. Those plants that happen to produce tastier fruit or nectar are likewise going to be more successful in passing those genes on. In areas like grasslands, those creatures who develop a taste for nutrient-dense meat will be more likely to survive and reproduce.

As for intelligent design, the human sex drive is one of those areas where the concept of design clashes with the apparent wishes of the designer, at least where most religions are concerned. It seems that the designer went to great lengths to make sexual gratification both highly pleasurable and easily achieved, and then went through equally great lengths to demand that its use and enjoyment be greatly limited. The design is seemingly so brilliant that the designer didn't know what to do with it, so he insisted that we not use it lest he torture us forever.

Biggest. Asshole. EVAR.

Yo Unsure, if you think having sex and eating is evidence of design what do you think about wisdom teeth? What's the point in those? What designer would include those?

An asshole. A complete asshole who enjoys watching suffering and emptying wallets.
