The evolution of sex is the hardest problem in evolutionary biology.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ultimately, the problem is that sex is perceived as a personal, intimate thing, not in the realm of science. But that's not true. It's physiology; it's anatomy. It deserves to be studied.
Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex.
The biggest development in reproductive biology is the birth-control pill. Nobody ever talks about it, but look at the consequences: demographics; aging populations; the sinking population of Europe, Japan; immigration. It's incredible.
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
Masculinity is a terrible problem, as we construe it and shape it.
Sex is a discovery.
The urgency to mate persists in all people as in all other mammals because of the evolutionary drive to continue the species, the inborn imperative for genes to reproduce and hormonal differences that evolved over millions of years.
Most men are not that evolved.
Sex is biological, but gender is mental.
Sex isn't hard, but intimacy is terrifying.
