- The divorce rate is around 30-50%, psychological research has revealed that rejection affects the same part of the brain that deals with physical pain, there is still too far much rape occurring, family conflict such as wife beating is a serious problem, religions are forced to contain vestiges of intolerance due to their hateful rules on interfaith marriages, people are depressed due to breakups, rejection, and adultery, and sexualization of women and men paints a horrible portrayal in the media, setting poor standards for society such as children being compelled to adhere to ideals of gender. Moreover, there is also too much intolerance of alternate sexualities such as homosexuality.
Now, given that cloning is on the cusp of being unlocked, and some have advocated for a voluntary extinction movement, should human consider asexuality to become the dominant sexuality?
I would argue that yes. The benefits of sexuality do not outweigh the negative consequences. Self-satisfaction of genitalia can be had without sexual arousal, so that feeling would not be missed.However, I do not support the voluntary extinction movement, so cloning will be forced to suffice. Furthermore, given the differences in male and female sexual responses during intercourse (including the fact that women need not rest after orgasm), sex is an unequal activity and thus is unethical and inherently matriarchal.
