If the sole force behind (human) sex were reproduction, why would women still have sex drives after they stop ovulating? Of course there is more to human sexuality than just the urge to directly continue the species.

And this can still be in line with evolutionary theory. Many species do things that do not directly benefit the individual or increase the individual's reproductive capacity, because they will benefit the species as a whole and promote overall propagation of that species' genes (biological altruism). Perhaps gay men and women serve some evolutionary purpose/somehow benefit the entire population's sexual success in ways that are not yet understood.


But even if there's no evolutionary explanation, of course it can still be biological Infertile people serve no obvious reproductive purpose, yet infertility still naturally occurs.

You what

Having a sex drive is all mentally stimulated. it has nothing to do with your body's capability of ovulation.

Your brain controls your impulse for sex

Adopt one straight child so they can make new babies that the gays can adopt

lol nope

That's not at all true, because it's also hormonally regulated. My point is that if the ONLY purpose of human sex were to directly continue the species, there would be no mental or hormonal stimulation to have sex when you're no longer capable of having children. Sex must have some purpose beyond direct reproduction. Animals don't waste energy/resources for no reason.

Ask leading evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

But the main purpose of sex is reproduction, it's not evident in humans and whales/dolphins ( the only organisms who have sex for enjoyment).

Men have sperm for a reason, and women have menstrual cycles for a reason.
