April 2012 - and Elle's Question.

"Why is Sex  so Essential to Species"? That was the question. Why indeed! Our research took us into a web of 'Red Herrings' and ''Dead Ends' from the mystery of molecules that started to self replicate and cell division to the complex multiplicity of the natural world and the notion of immortality through reproduction. Did we find the answer - 'The Light at the End of the Tunnel'?

Sadly No, Sorry, We did not. Sex is a powerful force deep within ....... 

that drives us, and indeed all living things, more than anything else. We do not know what compels other living species to sex, mating and reproduction (does a plant, tree, reptile, fish, bird or flea feel some shudder of delight, like us, as it sows it's seed?)  but we do for ourselves. As Voltaire said "Pleasure is the object, the duty, the goal of all rational creatures", and the little molecules within, which seem so intent on self replication, make us do just that with gay abandon.

Quite strange really as Sex, and the associated mating rituals & reproductive cycles are: Complex, risky and brutal - species survival of the fittest or luckiest. Wasteful and Resource Expensive - species seed scatter overkill. and, Ultimately doomed to Failure - species extinction.

To explain each and every one of these points with lots of examples would take pages, too much for our little blog. But to give some idea consider the Brazil Nut tree http://wwfbrasil.org.br/informacoes/english/?26235/The-Brazil-nut-tree-grandiose... or the big red worm http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/the_big_red_worm.htm for Complexity, masturbation, prostitution and doll fucking for waste and just ask the Dinosaurs about extinction, our ultimate fate, whether it be tomorrow or in a billion years.

In any event it all seems so pointless in the long run. While arguably not being essential to species, Sex does lead to something else - 'Species Change' - through variety, gene mutation and environment adaptation. Still totally pointless though  ........ except perhaps :-

The Singularity needed an audience so it fucked itself, exploded in a mighty orgasm that spread trillions of seed (the stuff of stars and galaxies) far and wide in the hope and that some, perchance, may develop 'lifeforms', which in turn may evolve and give rise to consciousness, so it could see itself, marvel at itself and call itself 'The Universe' and thus give it existence - even if only for a fleeting moment in the vastness of infinity. A little applause to let itself know it exists, for without being observed could it ever be sure it existed at all?

Anecdotes from our little book of WEIRD SEX.

A 47 year old Woman was enraged to find her husband having sex with a frozen chicken. She told journalists "My jaw just dropped, I said, You dirty bastard - That's my Sunday lunch".      Divorce plans are underway.

We guess some people are just fussy about what they put in their mouth if they know where it has been LOL.
