I understood that you were defending it! The downvotes were a bit confusing to me also, as I felt pretty well founded in my original comment. As I said, I'm more just interested in your reasoning that I was being crude and taboo, because I have a background that seems less common among HN posters. It would help me better understand the downvotes! I definitely could've swapped out "getting laid" with something more elegant sounding, such as "engaging in intercourse" or "stimulating a release of oxytocin", but I assumed that "getting laid" is both socially acceptable and has a well understood definition. Apparently HN disagrees! I don't consider sex as a subject to be taboo, especially from a health standpoint. People get degrees from major universities that are entirely sex-related. So I guess I'm just a little confused by all responses, especially the one from hi41. Thanks for explaining your reasoning, it's good to hear the process behind these differences in opinion.
