A redundant pastime?

Well isn't it almost?

By Stanley Collymore

 

Is sex still important nowadays? Only if one wants to delude

himself or herself that it is. Realistically though it’s not any

longer necessary for procreation - IVF adequately takes

care of that already. As a sweetener to marriage or

female financial security it’s no longer relevant,

with the increasing social and economic

independence of women together

with their upward mobility and

the casual acceptance of

promiscuity stark

realities in full swing

and all thrown

into the ring. For pleasure,

mental stimulation and or even sexual satisfaction then?

Sorry; but sport and Reality TV do the same things

emotionally and even physically and, furthermore,

just as effectively and excitingly for most people,

so why bother with sex? Speculatively and

even seriously one must ask what’s its

real purpose? None really you must

concede, except custom, force

of habit and an instinctive

urge for dreary intimacy.
