Most rapes aren’t motivated by sexual desire actually, so I’m not sure getting rid of sex would actually prevent sex crime.

Indeed, so the only solution I see is to remove the organs with which we cast shameful light on others and ourselves

and I doubt it would increase all other dimensions, in fact a number of scientists have made a strong case that the drive to produce art is related to sex.

In what way? Maybe there is some explanation in evolutionary psychology that would suggest creativity was related to sexual conquest, but would removing the desire itself really demoralize us? If the process of being creative is chemically linked to sexual desire then I can see your point, but I surely hope that is not the case. Though we may be speaking of two different branches here...
One is the desire for mating and spreading your genes.
The other is the sexual desire and ecstacy itself.
Does removing the latter affect the inspiration we get from the former?

You're trying to make the world too boring, Shady

Plus your solution solves any gene pool issues, since no sex drive = no desire to procreate = gene pool evaporates very quickly.

but that denies us the pleasure we get from them as well, which isn’t a sacrifice I’m willing to make

I can’t remember if science is clear on that, actually. I think they both just come from the same part of the brain.

Hey, guys! What's going on? ;O

Probably not. Most sex crimes are the criminal's way of illustrating their self-perceived dominance. "Sex"(I use that term very loosely.) is usually just a means to an end. Like a pencil or paint brush.

bored, have to stay out of my room for six hours because they cleaned the carpet, etc.

Yep, that’s what research seems to indicate.

 

[Joker]

You entered at an awkward time =X

Monsieur CA has the right idea. It has little or nothing to do with the act itself, only the perceived dominance over another individual.

Indeed, my "ideal transhumanistic world" supposes way too much and it will take way too long to plug the holes in my fantasy utopia

But boring? I'm trying to make it more interesting!

 

[Celes Chere]

Ah, don't you hate when that has to happen? D<

I missed the discussion about rape, it seems?

 

[Joker]

Removal of desire would also remove people's romantic inclinations.

Which means I'd probably cease to exist, or, at the very least, function =/

Celes: I stand by my earlier statement. Awkward time to enter is awkward =/

 

[Ⓐaron]

Ah, don't you hate when that has to happen? D<

yeah, shit sux.

I missed the discussion about rape, it seems?

and a bunch of other stuff too.

Awkward time to enter is awkward =/

I can&#8217;t be the only one who gets a sexual connotation from that can I?

 

[Celes Chere]

and a bunch of other stuff too.

Ah, well. I'm not going to read through all of the pages.

I can&#8217;t be the only one who gets a sexual connotation from that can I?

Thanks! I so needed those lulz.

 

[Joker]

Yeah, I missed the other stuff and just walked in on the sex part

Shady: Okay, maybe boring is a bad choice of words. Certainly less fun, to say the least. I can sit and stare at a wall for hours and be extremely mentally stimulated, but I rather like whatever portion of the brain puts in me the desire to seek out love and acceptance from another person. I wouldn't know what to do with myself without it


Aaron: 'twas unintended. But thanks for the lulz

 

[Ⓐaron]

Ah, well. I'm not going to read through all of the pages.

Yeah a lot of people don&#8217;t, which is why I don&#8217;t think this topic is sufficient for everyone&#8217;s spamming needs

Thanks! I so needed those lulz.

One of those days then? D;

 

[Celes Chere]

Alright, alright. So I'm starting to think supporting a spam section isn't such a bad idea.

But not all the way, yet. >D

One of those days then? D;

Sort of. I also just haven't had a good laugh yet today. ~

 

[Ⓐaron]

i'm sure the tide will turn eventually

And what's wrong, if you don't mind asking? D;

 

[Celes Chere]

Oh, I don't want to bitch about something dumb. xD

 

[Atticus]

sup?

 

[DNA]

Burra.

 

[Atticus]

burrito.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Oh, I don't want to bitch about something dumb. xD

fair enough

 

[Atticus]

I think I've drinken too much sprite... my insides hurt now...

 

[SutekiMitsukai]

Sprite shouldn't be as painful as something like my favorite: Dr. Pepper. Sprite has no caffeine.

 

[Celes Chere]

Thanks, V! I hate it when people go, "Aww c'mon, tell me! D="

Suteki, your EVE SET IS AMAZINGLY CUTE.

 

[SutekiMitsukai]

Thank you very much. I was watching Wall-E last night and she was just kind of an inspiration.
