As for what makes sex pleasurable. Technically it is the release of endorphins and dopamine in your brain which cause a shift in perception. The same gratification can be acquired by other means though because of our retained rationality we infer different things. This can be observed in the BDSM community where things of no sexual manner whatsoever are used in means to elicit the same responses from people as if actual sex were involved.

As for what makes us different from animals… in a biologic sense, absolutely nothing. We are a parasitic mammal (parasitic because we need a host -planet- to survive). On an intellectual level, however, very little still, it is only the propensity to be ABLE to place ourselves (mentally) into the position of another thing that defines us.
Other animals have learned to use tools. Monkeys use sticks to get ants and termites out of the ground, otters use rocks to open shells, gulls drop the shells onto rocks to open them… just some examples. Even the use of money is an example of using tools, as money in itself is nothing but a tool to denote the perceived value of another commodity, so in your example, they learned to use a tool. Now, on that note, the structure of a human brain does tend to have more function dedicated to reasoning and less to instinctual survival then other animals, but in the end we are all just self glorified animals ourselves.

In relation to an earlier post about things that make humans different than animals. Ignorance is a big part.

For example. A wild dog feeds off of rabbits. This is how the dog gets his food. Every 2 months, the rabbits move location, and the dog has to follow them too, in order to continue to survive.
One day the dog wakes up to find the rabbits have moved.

The dog has 2 options,
1. The rabbits were here yesterday, so I believe they are still here today.
2. The rabbits were here yesterday, but they are not any more, I should go and find where they have gone to.

To relate this to humans.
1. I have a certain belief about prostitution. New evidence has been displayed to prove my belief wrong, but I thought my own belief was correct yesterday, so it must also be correct today, no matter what the new evidence says.
2. I have a certain belief about prostitution. New evidence has been displayed to prove my belief wrong, so I will consider this new evidence from a neutral perspective and if it is more rational than my previous belief, I will accept it as my NEW belief.

An animal understands that it is better to become more educated, than it is to ‘hold on to an old belief, so as not to hurt my pride’. Ignorant humans value their pride more than their education, which is simply ridiculous.
In my example, the dog should naturally take option 2, as this would allow him to survive.
Also, the human should also take option 2, as this is a more rational explanation, which therfore would make give the human a higher education of the situation. Instead, those ignorant humans refuse to believe option 2, because apparently their ‘pride is more important’.

Now I have presented you with this information and explanation, are you going to become more educated, or are you one of the ignorant humans who will rather stay in the same place and perish, than use some common sense and follow the rabbits.

as you stated..why should we fear to the unknown right??

it is only applicable for only certain circumstances..

if you have faith..

“FEAR of GOD”..we do not know the face of god, why should we fear for..

“fear to die”..we did not know the feeling to die..
should we try to jump from the Everest mountain?

we should have fear in our heart, to avoid from anything undesirable to happen..it make us to be careful

if you are not fear of ANyTHING…i would say you are so BRAVE..but you might be a clumsy person..that keep try and error..

a wise person is to learn from the past not deciding any decision she want by only holding the certificate of BRAVE..it is FOOL…

like people said..: study SMART>>”

do you really know what is LOVE IS ????

how come you said that it was a big difference, please open your mind..
do you only love your family, cause out there are many people concern about their children..they might be not as clever as you but they have a motherly feeling to keep their family safe.. how could you say it was a big difference between you and your family…??
it was as same as telling other to jump at the mouth of crocodile while keeping your own family safe..how cruel are you!!!

please put some love and put yourself in the shoe of others before writing..

how if your husband and you have sex one nite, the he gave you 100 thousand..saying thank you for serving me..for me ” my love is not that cheap..coz money could never buy”

put love to others please….i love you..TQ !!

And that’s an example of most of the arguments brought by people against a life of liberty, that because they find it hard to imagine how it’d look like so that means it must not exist.

Back in 1999 before India had privatized telecom industry, people asked the same questions, what will we do if we have 20 different phone companies, how would I call my neighbor, what if I have phone number from company A and you have form company B, how will we call each other? Do I need to keep phones from Company A and B both in order for people of the both the networks able to call me? How will people even remember that many phone numbers? What if I move from one state to the other where my previous company A does not exist, will my number be lost? How will people contact me now? It will be choas everywhere.

A good example would be traffic. Imagine traffic conditions if we did not have any police. Would individual human nature and thinking produce the same result.

I guess some ladies have already commented how they are different emotionally.

Even logically speaking I would argue that they are different. The difference is in the motivation — which presents itself in the way things will be handled after “the breakup” or “your time is over”.

Although you may exchange tangible gifts in both the cases. In the case of a girlfriend, your gf may hold on to her feelings (of love or hatered), but will most likely return or destroy your gifts. In the case of a prostitute, (assuming that they are professional) they would probably destroy the emotions — while holding on to your “gifts”.

Means u agree that pleasure is not just sexual. So GFs aren’t just meant for having SEX. And think again when do u get pleasure other then having sex with your GF or BF…

“That is so harsh on girl friend, why are you so anti-human anti-woman? Why should your girl friend share your crimes your faults your brainless activities?”

I said good and bad times. why just consider BAD times.
Also you called me as Anti Human and Anti Woman. Let us see who is Anti Human and Anti Woman.  Just tell me How many girls want to become Prostitute by themselves.
If you give them some other Job instead of providing them an easy way of making money(i.e. Prostitution) , i think they wont choose Prostitution.

“She is responsible for her life her acts, and you are responsible for yours. Nobody is going to imprison a woman just because her husband is a rapist and killer accused of seven murders.”
Ha ha ha this was one of the idiotic thing that i have ever heard. I must say u have never loved anyone and never loved by anyone. If u do then u you wouldn’t have compared LOVE with the above lines you Quoted. A Love doesn’t ask anyone to live ALONE. When it comes to love the TWO person become ONE.

“Why do you get pleasure while having Sex…???”
Think Broad, think Wide… u said its a ‘biochemical urge’. Well its just as part of it. In how many other Bio-Chemical urges you get more pleasure then SEX…??? There have been lot of research been done on this Topic. Go through the research papers before posting your Idiotic comments

Why do you get pleasure while having Sex…???

Ok that is the silliest thing one may ask. And to answer that would be further silly. Anyways, let me give you a hint. Ever heard of biochemical urges?

Girl friend, or boyrfriend for me, is surely only a pleasurable activity. If i do not feel pleasure with being a boy why the hell i will be with him?
And that pleasure obviously includes sexual pleasure too and that means, pleasure is not only sexual.

In reality a girl friend is a partner which shares all moments of your life whether its Happy or Sad. Gives you company whether you are Miilionaire or a Beggar.

That is so harsh on girl friend, why are you so anti-human anti-woman?
Why should your girl friend share your crimes your faults your brainless activities?
She is responsible for her life her acts, and you are responsible for yours.

Nobody is going to imprison a woman just because her husband is a rapist and killer accused of seven murders.

Think upon this Q. i will putup my answer soon.
