"The Point of Sex ‘discovered’...”

There is this article I read on MSN.com, and the title says “The Point of Sex ‘discovered’...”

What!!??? Discovered and now?? I thought to myself, is it not about the grand plan of God to ensure the growth of man (the horror), not about Adam and Eve (sigh), the supposed experiment on humans by aliens (thank God) or even just plain old ‘desire’ (tch tch...)!

No, of course not, how can it be about such things, that you and I, mere mortals that we are, can argue and debate about. It has to be about science (when is it ever not). And here is the line that takes the cake “What is the point of sex? Since Charles Darwin's time, this question has troubled scientists around the world. Here is the answer.” Oh wait, are you saying no one was interested before Charles Darwin, hmmmm, really...Of course they weren’t...they were busy fornicating and having fun...tee hee!

They were also scribbling on walls, painting masterpieces, sculpting, and writing about the act and also somewhere in between, ‘doing it’. I guess they got so busy they forgot to ask, “What is the point of sex?” May be Vatsayan could have tapped someone ‘busy’ and asked “Er, dude, what is the purpose of all this?” Boy, what would I have given to see the expression on that dude, and the subsequent socking Vatsayan would have received!

Poor Darwin, the poor man must have bent over double with humanity’s interest on the point of sex weighing on him.

Here is an interesting observation: Thanks to biologists at the University of Indiana who claim to have discovered that animals reproduce together, rather than simply cloning themselves, because it helps them to ward off parasites, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.

So the whole point of sex is we need to ward off the parasites? Parasites? Oh man, think of all the hullaballoo, think of pages and pages of print matter devoted to sex and now they tell us that we do it to avoid the parasites?? A simple bottle of strong brandy could not have taken care of the wee parasites???

Here is an even more interesting observation: "The Red Queen Hypothesis predicts that sex should allow hosts to evade infection from their parasites, whereas self-fertilisation may increase the risk of infection. "The coevolutionary struggle between hosts and their parasites could explain the existence of males."

Ha ha ha ha ha....Poor Adam! Existing because of a parasite....I rest my case...take over Madame Feminist!
