The
necessity to achieve sexual fulfillment is a biological imperative
that is the means by which all evolutionary progress has taken place
on this planet. The drive is universal among all species above the
microbial level but is most observable and chronicled in the higher
primates, especially humans., When perceived through the lens of this
sexual imperative much of human behavior that would otherwise seem
to be inexplicable, bizarre and incomprehensible becomes accessibly
understandable.
It
has long been observed that among the higher primates males are for
more promiscuous than females.
People
such as John Edwards and Arnold Swarzenegger (and of course millions
more who aren't anywhere near as visible and thus fascinating) swear
sanctified vows of allegiance to a specific spouse but later find
themselves unable to escape this compelling sexual necessity to
spread their seed further afield.
Why
would this be so?
The
answer can be found in rather straight-forward biology: the human
male can produce many times more offspring than can the female who
must sustain months of gestation to produce, typically, a single
child. On every day after that female has been impregnated the male
can further impregnate one, two even three more females. Typically,
the sexual fulfillment attendant to the initial impregnation event
suffices so that most males don't in fact go about seeking multiple
partners in a single day. However, the biological imperative to
replicate and disseminate more and more genetic material, (i.e.,
offspring) overcomes any social contract or moral injunction. By this
process is evolution moved forward since each new birth provides a
further platform for mutations, some of which will inevitably result
in enhanced survivability features.
Thus
we find that the phenomenon of the desire for sexual fulfillment is a
prime ingredient in the process of evolution and in turn an increase
the overall intellectual, emotional and psychological sophistication
of not only the human species but all forms of life that occupy this
planet.
