237 Reasons Why We Have Sex

The mirror newspaper in the UK just published the reasons why we have sex, in the "Science Section", under "Top Stories" no less. Tis news to me, but apparently there are 237 of them. Although, not that i would doubt the epic 5 year effort that went into compiling, and no doubt researching this list, I suspect a certain amount of money was wasted. Looking at the top ten for men

You want to ask for a pay rise and what pops into your head? Sex.
Perhaps you're feeling a bit vengeful, in which case you'll be considering nookie just to give someone a nasty disease.
Or maybe you just want to get closer to God - the only answer is a bit of the other to make you feel much more spiritual.

Looking at the top reasons for men:

1 ATTRACTED to person
2 IT feels good
3 WANTED physical pleasure
4 IT'S fun
5 WANTED to show affection
6 SEXUALLY aroused
7 I was "horny."
8 WANTED to express my love
9 WANTED to have climax
10 WANTED to please partner.

I can't help but think that numbers 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, all amount to the same thing i.e. "I was horny" A similar thing can be found with the top ten reasons for women. Can you believe that there are people who have sex to "get closer to god" , to "punish themselves" or "to end a relationship".

The world is an amazing place!
