Celibacy and Lotharios


There are two polar extremes on the sexual-activity spectrum ... Jeffery Epstein whose daily existence revolved around orgasms ... and (truly) celibate priests and monks who deny their hormones for a higher good. (I don’t mean to cast this comparison as only a male one ... there are obviously female equivalents.)

Clearly, the human imperative is to procreate ... but most humans have crossed this reproductive threshold into the realm of pure physical pleasure without the bothersome result of conception. As far as I know, no other animal species has achieved this level of civilization.

It has long been asserted that celibacy channels humans’ coital energies into other creative outlets. Maybe so ... although lothario Harvey Weinstein made some pretty good movies ... and that coxswain Bill Cosby was quite entertaining as a performer.

But Bubba Clinton does support the notion that Casanovas are generally worthless.

We all know that the #MeToo movement was our nation’s convulsive reaction to this run-away male sexual aggression. But this movement has now met its end when it finally crossed another threshold by fingering Joe Biden’s sexual antics.

You assert that no other animal species have intercourse just for the male's pleasure. Have you never been to a farm? The males -- billy goats, bulls, stallions -- are separated from the females because they will actively try to mount all of them. Whether it is pleasure or not is unclear. But only humans want active consent by both parties to conceive or to have pleasure.

And what are "Joe Biden’s sexual antics"? And how do they contrast with those of Trump?

I’ve never seen a bull put on a condom. And Biden’s sexual antics differ from Trump’s because their revelation has shut down #MeToo.
