Re: but sex is good for you... n/m

"I completely agree that it is a way of releasing toxins. I also agree that it is perfectly natural. It is a natural cleansing process"


I guess I don't agree that the act of sex has anything to do with releasing toxins - or that it actually releases any toxins at all. It may feel great - and emotional release can be a great booster, in many ways, but the actual act in my mind releases very few physical toxins, which is the MH theory. I personally don't believe that sperm is filled with toxins. The drive to have sex has nothing to do with releasing toxins or how toxic you are. I don't mean to sound glib, but that whole concept, to me, is nothing more then fundamentalist or revisionist rubbish. The drive for sex is hardwired into any living thing that procreates. Pure and simple. And when it gets analyzed beyond that basic concept, that is where you start to run into trouble. I will agree that there is the potential for side effects - mainly std's, but in some humans also psychological consequences. But those are side issues to the bigger question/issue. You take your life into your hand everytime you jump onto the highway, but few are calling to ban cars. Teens and younger people often run into "problems" with sex, but it really has nothing to do with the act. It is their immaturity. Which crosses over to other facets of their life, like doing drugs, studying in school, or holding down a job. And it also effects older people as well. But in my mind the drive to get laid has zilch to do with toxins of any sort. Physical or mental. I know many well grounded people, married or not, with a strong sex drive, and I also know many complete zeros out there, in every sense of the word, who also are pretty horny. And I think that is the way it has been since before the word "toxin" was born, so to speak.
