An explanation.

I can't explain dating and sex. Nor does it need explaining.

I would like to make it clear that this part of our lives isn't about our brain. Because if it were, we would have an explanation.

I do appreciate attempted explanations. The arguments that we are advancing our species, evolving to outwit diseases and pooling our genes, testing out potential mates, and playing our best strategy for the future.

These may well be true but it doesn't explain everything that we feel and experience. It also doesn't explain the rituals of courtship and why some of us feel the need to get married.

It also doesn't explain why the people who go around spruiking this type of belief are usually single. :P

I firmly believe that courtship/dating/sex is not of our mind. It is not necesarily the 'smart' thing to, but we do it because we are human, and its part of what makes us human.

Being not of our mind, it is also not of our ego. We can't own it, we can't possess it and we can't obtain stature because of it.

Sometimes I see people, fighting what they are born to do, when it comes to sex and courtship. I see courtship being learned and people trying to study it and craft it into a power they can have.

The irony here is that some people come out the other side realising what it really is.

It's something that we do as humans, living our lives, and when were not humans anymore, we will stop doing it.


Hope this helps.
