So does anal sex. Without lubrication, it WILL hurt. The anus does not lubricate naturally, meaning that it can't possibly be for sexual purposes.


Gosh, I get it. Using lube is wrong! Is that your argument?

Should we ban them for having sex and throw them in jail and stip them of human rights for being "unnatural" too?

Then they wouldn't be able to have casual sex, which by your's or another statement, is perfectly natural.

Usually people admit they're wrong if they've been proven wrong hundreds of times. It's "natural."

Vaginal sex can hurt if you do that wrong too. Childbirth hurts no matter what.

Sure it does. Human society is a product of evolution. Now we have lubes to make anal sex more enjoyable.

No, it only supports one group's statements, and then when they run into a wall they can't explain, "evolution didn't optimize this." If it can't optimize, then why so many detailed traits in humans? Either it did or it didn't optimize. Your point is moot.

You don't have to have an embargo, and you don't need to target oil. As I've said, there's plenty of tools in the toolbox.

- Refuse to export technology to Nigeria. Hurts their telecom industry and their space industry.
- Refuse to invest in Nigerian businesses. Hurts their economy.
- Move factories to other countries. Both Peugeot and GM can find better places for equally low pay, I'm sure.
- Refuse to import Nigerian food, textiles, and plastics.
- Hinder travel by Nigerian officials. Refuse to let them fly over Europe or North America.
- Freeze assets of Nigerian officials whom may be guilty of crimes against humanity through the enforcement of this legislation.
- Scale back diplomatic relations.
- Cut aid to the government.

See? We haven't reached the oil industry yet, and there's still plenty of things to do.

Yes, casual sex is perfectly natural. As long as all parties involved are consenting there's no reason to ban any kind of sex.
"random person on the internet thinks it's icky" is not a reason to ban something.

They'll just turn to China or Russia who support them and will provide all of those things. No longer do we live in a world dominated by the West exclusively. Either the West supports them or the East will.

You don't understand evolution basics.

Evolution doesn't need to optimize, ever. Evolution is merely organisms gradually adapting to survive in their environment. Nowhere is optimization required for that.

1) anal sex isn't exclusively homosexual
2) homosexual sex isn't exclusively anal
3) sex is often for casual purposes
4) none of this holds any relevance to how homosexuality is inherently ebul

You don't understand evolution basics.

Evolution doesn't need to optimize, ever. Evolution is merely organisms gradually adapting to survive in their environment. Nowhere is optimization required for that.

So evolution doesn't need to optimize as its geared toward survival. Then why can enjoy one form of sex, but not enjoy another form of sex that we also consider enjoyable?

You need to reword that, what you're asking is unclear.
I'm guessing that you're asking why some people enjoy one type of sex that others don't? Because different people like different things. Some people like spicy food, some don't.

Edit: Typo, I'm hungry.
