I guess this article makes it pretty clear that above all, sex is powerful. Powerful in that it is associated with the achievement of so many goals. I suppose (err, a, know) its simply human nature to have sex, but there is something funny about it. Seriously, who knew how many problems could be solved by getting naked?

I do find it interesting that more men than women sleep with someone for "goal attainment" such as making someone guilty or getting ahead in a job. Guys are always talking about how women are using their sexual prowess to get ahead, and how it is imoral or at least unfair. But maybe (big shocker coming up...) men are actually just trying to pass the blame off to women to take attention away from their less than caliber deeds.

Super.

I think we would all be better off if we took everyone in the sex for "goal attainment" category and (to take a line from the simpsons) "put on a garbage barge where you will bare knuckle brawl until one of you becomes king of your floating hell." The real question is, how long before they start having sex with one another to be king?
