It's not a biological imperative

you can tell it's not a biological imperative because some people don't do it

[(Anonymous)]

How many people don't ever masturbate though?

[(Anonymous)]

i think someone ought to tell you were babies come from there seems to be some mix up

[(Anonymous)]

just because people can't get laid doesn't mean they don't want to get laid

[(Anonymous)]

What... what does that have to do with this thread and secret

[(Anonymous)]

nothing, it's valentine's day and i can d-tier wank from intentionally misinterpreting ayrt's point

[(Anonymous)]

You got me, anon. I'm completely and totally baffled.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't masturbate because it's a biological imperative, I do it because it's really fun and it feels good. It's also very easy and has no negative effects!

Hosting a growing parasitical organism for nine months with the eventual goal of squeezing an 8-pound mass of flesh and bone with a head the size of a grapefruit through one's cervix is none of those things.

(And you go through all that - and then you're stuck with a fucking baby. No thanks. I'll just stick with the wanking.)

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for saying that! OP's wording was bothering me.

[(Anonymous)]

..having babies is scientifically a biological imperative, sis. Not everyone has to want to do it for it to generally be wired into people's brains to do.

[(Anonymous)]

That it's an imperative on the species level does not mean that it's an imperative on the individual level, which is what we're talking about here.

[(Anonymous)]

Secret op did not say it’s imperative on the individual level, just that it was a biological imperative and that is why people do change their minds m.

[(Anonymous)]

I get the point you're making about the evolutionary instincts and shit (although I would be more reserved about how strong the connection is between evolutionary incentive & individual human choices even then).

But I don't think there's any point where it's correct to talk about it as a biological imperative on the individual level - which is the way that OP was talking about it. Because, one, it's factually incorrect, and two, it also makes it seem... uh... I mean, it seems to me that, once you talk about it being an imperative on the individual level, you're going to have a hard time avoiding the conclusion that someone not fulfilling that imperative is dysfunctional in some sense.

NA

I do feel out is kinda a biological imperative on an individual level, though. I do not intend to have kids. But, at 40, I can very much feel a "biological clock" telling me I really need to have a baby. I'm a person, so I'm more than my biology and can tell my biological clock to shut the fuck up, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[(Anonymous)]

Even at that, I don't think "imperative" would be a correct word to use

[(Anonymous)]

That's not a biological imperative. It's a social imperative. Women are expected to have children so when you start to hit a certain age and you haven't had kids yet, you think you have some bio clock that you can sense but it's really just internalized social pressure.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really? Do you think having kids is only a social drive? There is a biological urge many but not all people (not just women) have to reproduce. I can see disliking the phrasing of imperative but acting like the urge to have children is just social pressure is patently false.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Eh I'd go with 'impulse' or something. Some people have it, some people don't at all, for some people it's overwhelming, for others it's there but ignorable

[(Anonymous)]

You having it doesn't mean others have it tho.
