Why We [don’t] Have Sex
By Kuono • Aug 9th, 2007 • Category: In the NewsYou may have seen an survey results floating around on major media recently claiming they have the answers as to “why we have sex.” Like most things media, be critical with what you read. (Even this!)
Cory Silverberg, of About.com wrote a fabulous critique of the survey. Pause everything you’re doing and read this first: Weird Sexual Science: Why (Some of Us) Have Sex.
Done? Great, I’m glad you read it. For your reference, here is the actual survey by LiveScience via pdf. Why Humans Have Sex
And… now for a nice bit of frustration, here are several major media reports about it. After skimming some of these, you’ll be thankful I decided not to post with this blog a hetero-istock image. ; )

**Phew, okay, that aside… comment as to why YOU have sex. **
I have sex for a few reasons.
1) to show my love for someone
2) because I’m horny
3) to create more intimacy in a relationship
4) because it’s FUN!!!!
