| I claim that human's are asexually sexual while animals are utilitarian. While animals have sex with what is available, humans dream about sex they cannot have. As in human sexuality is always about what one lacks, as in desire for the impossible. Human sexuality is based in words, as in seduction, expectations for the future, but these expectations have to be hindered in some way, because if they are possible they no longer work as desire, as the death of desire is it's actualisation. One cannot desire what one already have. One example of how to sustain desire is coca-cola, it works by making one thirsty, so the more one drinks the more one want to drink, sustaining one's lack of coca-cola. What do you think? Is there a difference? What is sexuality and desire and how do humans desire? |

| First time a women opened her legs for me I suddenly desired Nigerian unicorns. I've lived a confused existence ever since. You put into words what I feel more eloquently than I ever could, thank you for that. |

| Humans made up things that make everything more complicated and less fun. Consent, "Age of consent", marriage, monogamy... while animals do not care about any of those things. Well... technically speaking some animals are monogamous as well. However, in humans it is more of a social thing rather than a biological trait. |

Oeufhbpi said: Human sexuality is more complicated in that we have ethics/laws. Yes, and the laws that hinder and restrict sexuality, become sexual themselves by how human sexuality works. |
deg said: depends some species of spiders or other animals like ants basically does sex only to die in other words sex for them is suicide especially for the males I have heard that some animals like sheep have some genetically defected sheep used as sacrifice when hunted by predators. Those spiders or ants seem similarly utilitarian as they just go with the flow of things. |
| If you put it in the evolutionary standpoint, we're millions of years ahead of the technological race to create robot booties, and I pray Lisa Su will spearhead this development in 2025. |

| Human sexuality is bound by at least some forms of restriction. Humans, for the betterment of the society, have created numerous laws regarding sexuality that don't permit humans to fulfill their sexual desires however they want. On the other hand, animals don't have that. They are basically free to do whatever they want. |
| Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think humans are the only creatures on the planet to have sex for recreation as well as reproduction. We're also the only animals self-aware and intelligent enough to really understand it on some level other than instinct, leading to laws surrounding sex as well as being able to explore and act on individual fetishes. No other animal on the planet has invented hentai yet, but I'd like to see who the next ones will be. |
_Maneki-Neko_ said: Have you ever seen videos of testosterone-ridden elephants, deers etc.? I rarely have seen people behaving like that, gladly lol. Exceptions are some primitive guys I have seen in front of a club, who got into a fight because "you looked at my girlfriend!" Normally I just expect much more from a human than from an animal. Emotionally-wise... I don't know, it depends on the species and how intelligent and social they are. Some animals just look for a short-time mate to reproduce, others, especially quite a lot bird species amd some mammals, have a strong emotional bond to their mate or family. Lately I have read of a raven that feeds his wife that has a broken beak and can't hunt herself. That's just incredibly cute. And some animals were actually heartbroken, when a mate, friend or relative died. Do other animals have the same restlessness as humans? While there are actions animals can take that look heroic and empathetic, does it have the same anxiety, doubt and narrative as humans? I claim human language and desire are much more violent then animals can ever be. Humans are uncomfortable in there own skin, continually restless. |

This is the main difference that makes human sexuality more civilised, but also more violent. This shift from utilitarian animal sexuality to human sexuality is based in language, language itself like desire is based on lack, the symbol is the lack of the symbolized. Seduction draws one into a narrative, a narrative is only a chain of symbols. Human sexuality finds it's true form in words, as words is the only thing that have the power of seduction. |
