- klipt 5y agoI think what we are witnessing is an evolutionary paradigm shift. For most of human history, contraceptives didn't exist, so evolution just made us want sex and the reproduction part followed automatically. Now that contraceptives stopped that trick from working, only the people who genuinely want kids will be selected for, while the people who merely want sex will die off.
