Animals mate only to breed

I was reading a book on the evolution of the human brain and then I stumbled upon the irony of the Filipino Catholic clergy’s position against contraceptives. They insist that the only function of sex is to make children. Whoa! That’s exactly what animals do! The savage beasts in the jungles mate only to breed. In the entire animal kingdom, human beings are one of the few species that mate for emotional reasons and long-term bonding. Sex for love and joy, it turns out, is uniquely human, and our local venerables would insist that we forswear what is human and revert to what is primitively animalistic.

I don't believe that the only purpose of sex is producing kids, why would people then produce contraceptives like condoms or pills to stop it. TODAY, the purpose of having sex is either to PRODUCE or HAVE FUN. i have to admit, there are a lot of people today who wouldn't want to have kids but would love to have SEX. there's this thrilling things for kids today when it comes to SEX. it's like the WORD SEX is an equivalent to fun.

In contrast, humans have sex “even during the wrong part of the ovulatory cycle” when conception is unlikely to occur. This is because of “concealed ovulation [wherein] it is almost impossible for a male to detect directly” when the female is in estrus. Since the male is left guessing, he would have to mate all through the woman’s cycle to have a reasonable chance of sowing his sire. “[W]ith concealed ovulation, the best male strategy is to stick to one female and mate with her all the time.”

Those who have sex do not care anymore when to have sex. Sometimes, people do not care WHERE to have sex. Like during the new year, a lot of people were having sex everywhere, even in BORACAY where the media was so excited to show people that there are people having sex in the beach during the new year!
