damn beat me to it.

we can also add Bonobos on that list.

and honestly watch them long enough and the males of any mammal species would seem to have sex for the pleasure of it, seeing as they'll have sex with anything to get off.



Did you know...the Bonobo both male and female will engage in sexual activities with each other (including members of the same gender) more than any other animal, in fact in a test to see the differences between Chimp and Bonobo behavior it was found that when a large crate of food was dropped for both, the chimps would fight over who eats first, while the Bonobo had an orgy before eating.

There is no proof that we (humans) have a working pheromone system.

yes there is. Just not for attracting a mate.

Women give off pheremones that cause all(or most of) the women in a household (or even the same floor of a dorm) to sink up their periods with each other.

We don't really know how this works.
In animals the so called vomeronasal organ plays the primary role in their pheromone systems. We still have this organ, it's a little bit regressed and it misses an ion channel that is essential for signal transduction, so it can't work. In the end there is no evidence for a working pheromone system in humans.

they are still working on it. There is observational evidence that there are connections, and that it is reacting to something, but what and how exactly it works in humans isn't clear. Since the 80's more and more work has shown that is is present in most humans, even if the connection is weak to the brain, it still reacts, so future research may show a different system at work for humans. After all in most mammals it also affects behavior. for humans it may only need to affect the chemistry so a link to the glandular systems of the body and not going through the brain first could still fulfill that function.

then again it still says what you said, you evidence, I just add..yet. the receptor is there, it reacts, it sends out a signal, it just doesn't seem to go the brain in any serious way.

a man will have sex even if his eyes are bleeding and his back is out.

When I am sick, just leing there, what I really want is some sex...then again right now just sitting here all I really want is some sex.


on that note, just standing up and walking around can help clear up your nasal passages while sick, lieing down allows it all to collect in the back of the cavity makeing you feel worse.

any activity really. Unless you are going to die or break something its better when you have a cold to sit up and try to remain at least a little active, like typing at a computer or playing videogames, you'll feel a little better.

When I get sick I am out I can't have sex and needless to say I don't feel very attractive.

When my nose is stuffy I eat spicy food.

I thought that the part about the male bedbug drilling a hole in the female was how many women feel men with little foreplay go about sex.
