I don't think sex is something you can be 'against'. If you want to do it solely for reproduction, be my guest. Some people find abstinence very enriching. It's better than being someone who's ridden with STD's. But still, if you have sex safely, I don't see any harm in it.
I'm saying I'm against it because the people who do it for pleasure are unaware that that's not sex's true function. And I'm against doing things you don't really understand.
I think people know sex was originally just for reproduction. But even in the old days, sex had its other uses.
See, we humans are equally closely related to the bonobo and the chimps. Just like us, the bonobo have sex for pleasure, rather than baby-making. They even masturbate.
Sex also makes your brain produce oxytocin, which battles stress, and helps you bond with your partner. It's true that those are side-functions of sex, but they definitely have their place in our everyday lives.
Now we could go and discuss whether or not we should do things because of their side-functions instead of their main function, but that's besides the point.
Is it normal that I'm against sex?

Well, I hope you can see why the phrase "we're trying to open humanity's eyes" comes across as if you give way too much authority to your opinion.

Maybe it does, but it's not what I meant. I think I'm right and I'd like people to agree with me, but I can't force anyone to anything.

Okay, seems someone finally understood me.
Now we could go and discuss whether or not we should do things because of their side-functions instead of their main function, but that's besides the point.
