Dec. 17th, 2002 01:14 pmContinuing my thoughts from yesterday...
An unscientific poll seems to indicate that, not only are geeks having more sex, it's often pretty kinky. I guess that's not a great surprise when you combine the sterotypical geek willingness to embrace new ideas and desire to avoid conformity. (Or sometimes beat conformity over the head with a baseball bat.)
Kinky is, of course, a relative term, but since the only part of sex necessary for the species' survival is the act itself, I find it interesting that our brains are wired in such a way as to make all these variations so enticing. I gues that, in the long run, it encourages even more sex, which is what our DNA wants from us. I can just hear the Great Designers now...
"We've come up with this great advantage, better even than claws or wings. We call it 'intelligence', and with it, this species should be running the planet soon."
"What's the downside?"
"Well, now they'll have things to do besides eating, sleeping, and making copies of themselves; it might slow the program down a bit."
"All right... you can try this 'intelligence' thing... but make sure you tweak their circuitry so they're still fixated on food, sleep, and sex. Otherwise we'll never get this project done."
