If sex is only for procreation then why does it feel good?

Question

No other animal gets pleasure from sex, besides humans. Don't you think "god" made it that way for a reason?

Answer 1

the fact that people enjoy sex so much is a ridiculously strong indication that natural selection is in fact the cause of why we exist.

furthermore, ALL animals enjoy sex. i don't know where you came up with such a strange idea that they don't.

Answer 2

Sex is not just for procreation. It is also for deepening the union between a married couple. I answered a similar question a couple days ago. Here is what I wrote:

Sexual intercourse brings the two (husband and wife) together as one, just as Jesus said, "the two become one flesh". This is a description of sexual union between husband and wife.

And, as stated by another answerer, sexual climax is the closest to God that humans can get on earth. This is because as the two become one, their love (might) give life to a third. In this way man(kind) was created in God's own image - i.e. three-in-one. God is a Trinity and the Third Person of the Holy Trinity (The Holy Spirit) is begotten of the love between the the Father and Son.

I hope all this helps. But it's just the tip of the iceberg. If you want the whole story on this very exciting subject read Pope John Paul II The Great's "Theology of the Body". Rather, read "Theology of the Body for Beginners" by Christopher West. John Paul's book is HUGE! Mr. West's book is very readable and is an absolute page turner.

Answer 3

No sex is not only for procreation. Love can be showed in many ways and one of the ways physical. There is a reason why they call it "making love". Sexual urges are natural and is made to feel good because how bad would it suck to make love to wife/husband and have it feel any way but good.

Answer 4

Sex is not only for procreation between human beings. God made it pleasurable as a gift to us, something He did not do for the animals. They are driven strictly by instinct to further the survival of their species. Another reason, one of millions, why evolution is unsupported by science. Unless, of course, you enjoy debasing yourself to the level of an animal. God thinks very highly of His children and deeply loves them, which is why He gave us sex for pleasure as well as procreation.

Answer 5

Thta's not true, actually. Many animals have a pleasurable sexual experience.

If sex hurt, people wouldn't procreate. And the world would become barren, thus dying.

Answer 6

***VOTE AS THE BEST ANSWER***
The reason WHY sex is SO pleasurable is because:


In the years before the 20th Century,...People had NO I-pods,No Satellite Cable,No Movies on Demand,No Nintendo X-Box's no Sony Playstations,No Music Videos,No Hip-Hop,No Guiness Stout, No DVD players,No Snickers Bars,No Newport 100's (soft-pak)..No Internet,No Cellphones,NO Nuthin'!!!...People was MISERABLE!!!!
Before All that stuff was invented,....We HAD to Have&/or Do SOMETHING for Fun&Pleasure! (we HAD to have it like that,or otherwise the whole entire human race would've became Extinct!
.....From Boredom!)

Answer 7

Sex is also a means of bonding with the partner you're involved with, that and to make sure we procreate is why it feels so good.

Answer 8

He did not only make it only for procreation. interior the music of Songs it is defined as an erotic journey between a guy and a woman. i do not think children are even said.

Answer 9

Did you personally interview the animals to find out or are you making wild assumptions...I'm guessing it feels pretty good to animals to have sex or they wouldn't be driven to have so much of it so frequently.

I don't think god made anything any way ... anyway!
