Many people, to my surprise actually, seem to have the misunderstanding that because I ran a nudie site, I am more into sex than most people. In fact I’m virtually asexual in practice.
I consider sexuality a powerful force, sure. But hell, so is sugar! It does not mean it is important, only that it is strongly addictive.
For me, beauty, spirit, philosophy, art, are *much* more important than sex.
There.

Stop sex and wait a hundred years. Where will your beauty, spirit, philosophy, art be then?
It might all still be there, even if people are created in a lab.
(Thanks, Joe.)
David, a good point. But the veneration of sex often goes way beyond what’s needed to maintain the race.
And also, sure beauty, spirit, philosophy, art are great. But there's the suffering in life to be considered as well. Progagation of a race that only involves mass suffering (with only passing amounts of beauty etc.) would not be worth it. Therefore I find the things that make life worth it (beauty etc.) to be of much more import than sex for the sake of continuing our species. That being said, sex itself can be one of those things that gives beauty to life for some.
Yes, well said.
