Why Sex?

Survival Skills: Why Sex is Good:
"Sex is an expensive and risky business. It steals time and drains precious nutrient resources. And each act of reproduction runs the risk of messing up carefully crafted genetic blueprints. So why do we do it?"

There are people who get paid to watch yeast reproduce and this is a report of their findings. Pesonally, the only reason I know to be concerned about yeast is to make alcoholic beverages. One thing for sure, I have gained a new respect for scientists who get government grants to watch porn - it doesn't sound near as weird as watching yeast sex.

Anyhow, they seem to have demonstrated that sexual reproduction may have evolutionary survival value. But they still aren't sure why it came to be, being so messy and expensive. May I suggest the reason is "male and female created He them."

Besides, I don't know what these scientists are complaining about. Are they too cheap to give a girl a nice candlelit supper and a quality bottle of wine? When you get right down to it, dinner and a snuggle doesn't have to cost much more than dinner and a movie (especially at today's movie prices!) and you don't have to sit through two hours of her choice of entertainment. As for the messy part, that's how you know you're doing it right.
