Why does lust turn guys into idiots?

[Emiliano]

PS. I'd like to hear where [MENTION=21558]Emiliano[/MENTION] stands on this topic. Care to pitch in?

I mean, I've been reading this thread, its interesting what you all are sharing, but I didn't really feel I have much to contribute. I think I'm a very loving person, I'm overwhelmed by the love I feel for this world and people and little moments I have experienced. But I've never been in love. I've never really even been close to it, I don't think. So I cant really speak about my ideas on that experience.

Lust, I have felt that for sure. And I've acted like an idiot because of it. I find it interesting what you guys with more scientific minds have to say about it, but if I had to throw out an answer to this, I'd assume that lust and the way that our dicks take over in certain situations has to do with the reproduction of the human species. Spread your seed and all that. Its kind of a sad way of looking at humanity and it kind of diminishes the worth of all of our great civilizations and creativity, and its certainly one that I don't really like to take - but isn't that biologically our biggest priority? Reproduction?

That we are gay men discussing this rather than straight men is just a minor detail since we are all working with the same equipment. I mean, I dont know. Maybe getting off is linked to reproduction in our reptilian brains, so even for a total bottom, as long as he gets off, his biological needs are met? Lol.. I really dont think I have anything intelligent to add, sorry. I'm not sure if I even really understand whats being asked here.

Maybe with any sort of strong relationship, romantic love, platonic love, lust, whatever... maybe its our brains way of helping to create bonds? Bonds, sexual or otherwise, are important to society right? So maybe its important that our judgment is suspended, for better or for worse, in order to create those relationships, to integrate us better into society, and with each other, to better ensure our survival?
