Sex and Death

What is the difference between sex and death? Quite a lot. Let's get past all of this hoity toity symbolic thought and get down to the nitty gritty.

1. Sex feels good -- dying not so much -- death you can't feel at all.
2. Sex is a combining act, it brings to mind Spice Girls "2 become 1" -- death rips you away from your loves ones, not quite so combining.
3. Sex is a act that is intended for creation -- death is intended for death.
   
4. Everyone dies but no one wants to -- only they lucky get a ridiculous amount of sex, some get no sex at all, poor bastards.

Thinking about these I can see how death and sex are butting heads. In reality, no one wants to die, but everyone wants sex. Whether it's sex for love or just sex -- everyone wants it. Who wants to die? Only the suicidal and ridiculously emo, and they're just probably not getting enough sex. If sex wasn't so good why would religious figures abstain from it? Obviously it's a temptation.

This antithesis brings me back to my argument of good v. evil and how evil is needed to make good actually good. Think about this for a second, I'm getting insightful. If sex is, at it's core, a creationary act, then is it not an antithesis to death? Would sex be as good without the looming fear of death? This is to say sex really is good for you and not just mediocre, which if that's the case, I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to say that we're constantly thinking about how we may die any minute and we need to get all the sex we can in as fast as possible. However, you know in the movies when the two main characters are put in a situation of inevitable death? How do they normally react when they've given up trying to save themselves? Now considering the movie I'm creating in my head isn't made for children, the though of animated characters getting it on kind of irks me. However two -- probably incredibly attractive -- people are going to die. What do they do?

They have sex!

Fully aware that sex will not fend off a looming death, they decided they just didn't get enough sex in their lifetime, and they do it. This is an illustration of the importance of sex. It makes babies, did you know that? More babies = more life, which is good! Except maybe in China, I hear they're getting a little crowded over there.

So next time you bring a girl or a guy back to your place and things get a little heated, remember -- that you're going to die sooner or later and then you're not going to feel anything anymore. Do you watch Heroes? Claire can't feel anything and she hates it. So enjoy your sex while you can, because death is on it's way. Only a matter of time before you've run out of options (here's hoping you haven't already.)
