Well... sex is really only one very complex thing... not both pleasure
or reprodction. Other than that sex is somthing we are all interested
in and a fascinating subject to ponder. Read "What's Love Got to Do
with It?", "The Evolution of Human Mating" by Meredity F Small.
Small is Associate Professor of Anthro. at Cornell... Small is
thoughtfull, insightfull as well as rather sexy -- I thought -- in her
way cool survay of the evolution of our sexuality.
