To paraphrase CS Lewis, "
FriendshipCasual sex is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”man, imagine thinking having friends has no survival value, if you didn't know Lewis' family was well off, this would make it obvious.
CS Lewis has never had to choose which travel companion to cannibalize during a mountaintop snow storm. Unless your acquaintances look particularly diseased, they’re usually the easiest choice. Friendship can save your life. Take that, you timeless fuck
Casual sex [...] has no survival value
I wonder how many people less of our species were on earth w/o casual sex. It doesn't have survival value for one personally, though.
I have no education on this matter but I'm going to confidently say at least 1/8 of the planet. 1/5 of the western world, and asia, I'd say 1/3
Depends on what you count as casual sex. People grow emotionally more attached to friends with benefits than to strangers too and might help them in a tough situation over a stranger or mere acquaintance.
IDK. I think about killing myself a lot less when I'm getting laid regularly.
