According to some myths, 6,000 years ago Adam and Eve’s primary purpose was to propagate the species. The earth was a big blank place back then but, of course, no one realized that until a few thousand years later. Populating the earth had to be important. But, then again, after so many years, God supposedly killed everything off, except for a boat filled with animals and a few people, to start again. According to the text, after he did that, he discovered that was a mistake and promised never to do that again.
Ok, now that I got all the preliminary stuff out of the way, it’s time to get to the real purpose of this post and that is to now define sex as primarily entertainment and not so much a matter of procreation.
Let’s face it, we now have over 8 billion of us occupying our small blue marble. In order to survive we need to put procreation on the back burner. Enough all ready. If the purpose of sex was strictly to propagate the earth, why did God may it so pleasurable? Maybe more importantly, why did he make childbirth so painful?
Like so many other strange things going on with religion, I guess some religions try their best to take the pleasure out of the process and only have sex for the intent purpose of creating another human being. Others, like the Shakers just abandoned it altogether. But, I kinda think most of us, particularly testosterone driven teenagers, don’t have childbirth in mind when it comes to this topic.
This pulls me into a final thing. Is marriage an outdated thing? I know that over half of us who get married, divorce every eight years or so. As is the case for most of my life, I was also unusual in this regard. I didn’t get married until I was 40 years-old and that one lasted until “death do us part” 35 years later. We didn’t/couldn’t have any kids, but we certainly had lots of sex, at least during the early years.
Marriage and sex just don’t seem to necessarily be linked any longer. Maybe it is time for some redefinitions in this area? Maybe AI could help with that redefinition.
PS.. In case some of you don’t realize it by now, this post is in the tongue-in-cheek category of “Having My Say” .
Life is a joke, and sometimes I write about it that way.
RJ's Corner - Having My Say 
It sounds like you’re exploring some thought-provoking ideas about the evolution of societal norms around sex, procreation, and marriage. The shifting perceptions of these concepts over time certainly reflect changing cultural attitudes and priorities. While some religious perspectives emphasize procreation as a primary purpose of sex, modern views often emphasize its role in emotional bonding and pleasure. The dynamics of marriage have also evolved, with many questioning its traditional associations with sex and procreation. It’s an interesting topic where AI could potentially contribute to broader discussions and redefinitions in the future.

Thanks for the thoughts S Kumar. As I mentioned in the post, it was primarily just to poke fun at these issues. You kinda look like an AI response to the post.🙄

Hey RJ,
Glad you enjoyed the humor!
Sometimes poking fun is a great way to shed light on serious issues. And hey, if I’m giving off AI vibes, maybe that means I’m onto something! 😄
