If we watch other mammals they usually give us all the answers, hormone driven behaviour, from both genders dictate frequency. It's all about survival of the species, more kids the better, and hormones regulate the urges in a natural environment that is, frequency.
Modern day civilisation is really a new thing in the history of our species. I love modern times and hate how we are artificially triggered into confusion. Humans are a hairy, smelly, bad breath mammal, with bugs in our hair, not shaven, made up, sweet smelling, alluring creatures, it's all about hormones, and in natural environment this works perfectly, if it didn't we wouldn't exist today.
A lot of ethics comes from religion that is good as it helps mass society not destroy itself, but it didn't exist before language, only God/love and life on earth did for the millions of years before this language driven time we are immersed in.
I'm not a creationist or religious just following logic.
I really don't know if cancer is artificially amplified or not, I listen to scientists with proven records what else can I do, I've been surrounded by death from it my whole life and I hate it, it sucks I don't know how it happens, I just wish it didn't exist.
Sexual compulsion is weird, and difficult because it keeps our species alive and isn't a bad thing at its core. I know i would put sex above water in some scenarios, I know the spider risks it's life for it. No I'm not comparing us to spiders, but sex isn't a cigarette either, it takes over logic because species survival is more important than our happiness. But neither am I saying doing things you don't want to do is ok. The problems with compulsions are obvious, we all know them.
I know we go in cycles every few days as men, not from the books I've read but from personal experiance.
So should we do it over 20 times a month, who knows man, I wasn't around 10,000 years ago beforee language and all the amazing and insane culture it brought, but I agree we have bodily functions and when we repress them it usually makes something go wrong from shitting to sleeping, crying to sweating we are designed to let things out. Answers usually lie in the basics, what happens to a chimp if it doesn't, I know bonobos that share close to 99 percent of our DNAs are at it all day but that's a social culture for them, and yes no guilt involved as there is no formal language to judge them for it, every mamals and animal on planet earth actually lol.
But again it's probably just hormones and whatever season of life you are in that dictates frequency.
Ahh what do I know, I'm no scientist, dr or psychologist, just following what I see in nature and logic. As from a religious or agnostic perspective our limbs and organs are the same as all mammals just we have a more complex brain, the rest is pretty much identical (brains,lungs, legs and balls ) so I always think what are they doing in their natural habitat?
Interesting find mate thanks
