Why does God care about S E X?

[brewer]

Here ya go Adam.  <upgrade ding>  The working name for it is "pecker" but I've got many more names to try.

God, this is fantastic!  It makes walking a little different but I love how it feels.  And. . .  wait. . .  what's it doing?  Does it do this a lot?

Oh that.  Yeah, it does that all the time.  Just ignore it.  In fact, I forbid you to touch it.

Aw jeez, not that shit again.

I wish god would have put more thought into balls and old age. Design my ass!

Only if the God you think about is a humanoid figure.

Dopamine is the addictive chemical :
Too much of it = disease, and the opposite is true.

But your sources say the link between sex and violence appears to be related to the same cluster of neuron pathways, not dopamine (which, by the way, is not an ‘addictive drug’).

Furthermore, low levels of dopamine can cause health issues (including exacerbating the fatigue associated with MS).

You’re an idiot studying to be a moron.

Yes, low dopamine is Bad News for a lot of body systems.  Link:  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320637

Excess dopamine can be bad as well.

Start with a good diet and lots of sleep, and then consult a physician to fine-tune it into the optimal range for your body.

Hey, God.

What now, Adam.

How come the dog can lick his balls but I can't even reach mine?

Cuz he's such a good boy!

This is wrong also.

[Angrboda]

This research applies to fruit flies and mice, not humans.  In fruit flies and mice there may be overlap between neurons associated with aggression and sex.  The citation doesn't support any conclusions about human behavior, nor that there's a causal relationship between the two.  Moreover, this has nothing to do with addictive chemicals in the brain which was the basis of your claim.

FAIL.

Mice are very close in terms of biology:

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]Humans and mice don't look alike, but both species are mammals and are biologically very similar.[/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]Almost all of the genes in mice share functions with the genes in humans. [/color]

Fail.

Close may count in horseshoes and hand grenades, but not in neurology, and, again, it doesn't show that one causes the other.  The author makes clear that what overlap exists is unclear, as well as that the implications for human behavior are unclear.

FAIL.

The addictive substance called "Dopamine" and it's produced when we have a reward; like orgasm:

Dopamine plays a role in how we feel pleasure. It's a big part of our unique human ability to think and plan. It helps us strive, focus, and find things interesting.

Fail^2

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which plays a role in addiction.  It is not an addictive chemical.  It plays a role in many behaviors and is therefore too general to be uniquely linked to specific behaviors other than as a general neurological mechanism that plays a role in brain function.  It also plays a role in enjoying chocolate.  And your claim was that it leads to violence.  Dopamine in general has no specific link to violence so your citing dopamine is irrelevant.

FAIL.

Do you know the difference between sex and pornography?  This citation is irrelevant to what you claimed.

FAIL.

Yes. Sex is the execution of pornography.

Fail^3

Uh, no.  Sex is represented in some pornography.  Pornography isn't sex.  Your citation explains that excessive consumption of pornography [the representation of sex] can lead to problems with potency and performance of actual sex.  Your claim was that addiction to actual sex can lead to mutations in the brain including homosexuality, not that pornography does.  So your link does not support your claim.

FAIL.

Dopamine in general has no specific link to violence

There are violent drug-addicted junkies all over the world.

[Brian37]

Religion in the ancient World was about control, and controlling who had (and did not have) access to fertile females was naturally coopted by those in power who used religious authorities to maintain that power and access to that limited and valuable resource.

Yes. And this was pretty much a worldwide thing in every religion to greater or lesser degrees depending on era or country. Back then in all  of antiquity the mortality rate was very high, especially for those not in the ruling class. So it was much more incumbent for everyone to tow the tribal line in order to survive. And on top of that females, women were considered the property of the male head of the household. 

In most of the world back then, even you were a female in the ruling class, the inheritance always went to the first born male in line. Property rights by females was very rare in most places. 

The ancient world was a vast majority patriarchal and that is why most religions have male head God/s and male holy people as to which at best female holy people are second class.

Dopamine in general has no specific link to violence

There are violent drug-addicted junkies all over the world.

And there are violent people who are NOT drug-addicted junkies. Your point?

The bottom line
Dopamine is one of the many factors that can contribute to addiction. Contrary to popular belief, you can’t be addicted dopamine. But it does play an important role in motivating you to seek out pleasurable experiences.
Dopamine also contributes to tolerance, which requires you to need more of a substance or activity to feel the same effects you initially did.

Fail. it's an addictive chemical produced by your brain to serve as "a neurotransmitter", having such chemical overproduced does contribute to addiction (read the quote above).
In our context; it motivates you to have more sex, you get addicted to it being produced, you get addicted to its rush when you have sex; along with other factors -like for example the touch + porn-.

Uh, no.  Sex is represented in some pornography.  Pornography isn't sex.  Your citation explains that excessive consumption of pornography [the representation of sex] can lead to problems with potency and performance of actual sex.  Your claim was that addiction to actual sex can lead to mutations in the brain including homosexuality, not that pornography does.  So your link does not support your claim.

FAIL.

Some?? porn is the recording of sex ! 
No? I didn't say that porn doesn't cause mutations to the brain; actually it causes massive transformation to your mentality especially when you are deprived from real sex.

It is one of many factors that contribute to addiction, it is not in itself addictive. Loneliness is also a contributing factor in addiction. Are you contending that loneliness is an addictive drug?
