Q: Do we have to stop having sex?

Sex is the way most babies are started, but is sexual intercourse really the primary cause of human reproduction? Let's consider the statistics:

The World Health Organization estimates that 100 million couples engage in sexual intercourse on an average day, which is only 3.3% of the world's six billion humans. This pitifully low amount of love-making results in around 910,000 pregnancies, thanks in part to contraceptives and sterility. For a variety of reasons, 55% of these zygotes don't make it through fetushood to live birth. According to a current U.S. Census Bureau estimate, 359,000 do make it daily.

So, less than 0.4% of each day's heterosexual trysts result in the creation of new humans—a statistically insignificant correlation for proving causation. In fact, it rounds to zero.

Try it for yourself. Estimate how many times you've engaged in sexual activity in your lifetime. Now estimate how many times you were trying to make a baby. Divide the little number by the big number to give you the percent of times sex and procreation have simultaneously motivated you.

Perhaps if there were more opportunities for sexual gratification, so many people wouldn't feel the need to fill a nagging emptiness with a needy dependent.

Would imagine the Scoopers hit rate is much lower...

Crowded conditions and resource shortages will improve as we become less dense.

Even if we stop reproducing, I seriously doubt humans will ever become less dense....

Who else would take the worst city in Hawai'i over the best city in Illinois.


Also, WTF New Hampshire?  Cheap housing, low poverty, low crime = worst city?

New Hampshire: Derry
• Population: 22,378
• Median home value: $209,500 (state: $244,900)
• Poverty rate: 6.4% (state: 8.1%)
• Violent crimes per 100,000 people: 114 (state: 199)

Some pretty lazy photojournalism if the only pics they can come up with for many of the towns are water towers or empty parking lots....

Who are you kidding?  That post was No. 4093 in the thread.  We're well past "full circle."
