What Is So Good About Sex?

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't find sex enjoyable. If there is one thing that the entire human population who existed, who exists, and surely, who will exist, is going to find pleasurable, it is sex. When you think about it, there is nothing else like sex that is universally liked by everyone. Sex isn't an elusive dream available only to a fortunate few. It's accessible for everyone, and it's a routine for many. Still, sex remains exciting. It really surprises me how we aren't bored of having sex, and I can't stop myself from thinking what could it be that makes sex so good. It definitely isn't just pleasure. Because we tend to get bored of everything in life, it doesn't matter how pleasurable we find it in the beginning. Sex is perhaps the only activity that retains the pleasure and excitement even when indulged in excessively. 

What is so good about sex?

I think that we are fundamentally designed to like sex. Because it's necessary for the existence and continuity of life. If it's quintessential for life, it better be pleasurable, and the pleasure has to sustain. Generally, our brains are conditioned to not get sustainable pleasure out of anything in this entire world. But in the case of sex, the brain makes even the routine of having sex pleasurable every single time. It could be because sex is the only time when our minds are totally still. Sex demands total attention; you must be fully focused on the act, and if your mind wanders even slightly, you have to start over. Throughout the day our minds are constantly active, thinking without end. Bringing the mind to a state where thinking totally stops and the mind is completely still is what we call meditation, which is what sex does. I would assume the state of mind we want to achieve through meditation is how the mind is when performing sex. 

Sex is also an activity where we become completely vulnerable and our primal instincts come to the forefront. Sex is all good as long as our egos don't come into play; then sex becomes violent. The animalistic side of some men seeks to dominate as many vulnerable women as possible, often taking pride in the number of women they have 'conquered.' On the other hand, sex is the only time when a man, who typically assumes power over women, becomes completely vulnerable, allowing women to see them in a weakened state—shivering and begging—because in sex, no man is stronger than a woman.

As a society, we have transformed one of the most pleasurable aspects of life into something often associated with violence. It's high time that we realize we are no longer the animals living in jungles but have evolved to be the only living beings with the highest form of intelligence.
