  • Well of course it's going to be on an individual level. But there's also the drive to have sex, which is a big part of it.

    • Not everyone has a drive. Also, what does sex even have to do with it? If you don't want to pro-create but still have a sex drive, that's why you use a condom.

      • Why do you think we have a sex drive in the first place? We had one even before we could even be considered "human". All animals have one to an extent.

        Are you really asking me what sex drives have to do with procreation? Sex is for procreating. Procreation isn't always "intentional" in terms of the father and mother saying to each other, "Let's have a baby." Almost all of it in nature is incidental and happens in cycles.

        • *Most animals

          Okay, yeah, I get what you're saying. I asked what it had to do with anything because sure, the whole purpose of sex was to reproduce, but nobody does it for that reason. Settle down.

          • "The whole purpose of sex is to reproduce, but no one does it for that reason." It can be argued that sentence is contradictory, but I know what you're saying.

            But regardless, antinatalists are trying to achieve something impossible, because of the nature of reproduction. They can't beat billions of years of evolution and it's arrogant of them to think they can.

            • Yes, what I meant is that it was created for that purpose, but nobody does it to reproduce.

              I don't really think that they necessarily think they can.
