Sex is in itself neither good or bad for
personal evolution. Only at the perspective of sex enabling the continued use of this PMR as a species, and thus in a very indirect way it's good.
It's all about the intent behind the physical expression, in this case sex. Is it an expression of love or ego (fear)? It can even be an expression of malice in more extreme situations..
The same principle applies to everything else as physical expressions, intent is key.
I think we've got enough humans that we don't now need to all feel compelled to pair up and produce more.
I'd say the bible said something like go forth and procreate and have dominion over the earth, and silly humans took that to mean each and every one of them.
Not every human would make a good parent, and if overpopulation is "a key factor" of extinction (
http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/camp ... index.html), maybe we'd better start thinking twice.
There are an awful lot of threads around here that talk about sex, but for me the Bringers of the Dawn explains it the best. I still appreciate Will1987 so very much for bringing this to my attention.
