People blow up their entire lives for the sake of a few seconds of intense pleasure. Seconds. That's insane, when you think about it. Look at what Henry VII put everyone through just so he could have Anne Boleyn. And what about Helen of Troy and all those ships? Just to rub their bits together and get that few intense seconds - which you could give yourself, anyway!
Why do we place SO MUCH importance on the sexual act? Why do some people risk everything - their families, jobs, and reputations, in some cases - for something that may feel good but which is so fleeting?
It's ridiculous, really. If we were rational beings and we were lusting over someone forbidden, or someone who is bad for us, we would just get on the DIY and be done with it. But we often don't take that thoroughly sensible course of action.
Why???
