What if...

Postby Kylon » Sat 10 Feb 2007, 20:35:39

What if we created a drug that stimulated the receptors in the brain, that simulated the pleasure of sex, while relieving the sexual stress?

Then, men would no longer want, or need sex from women, as they'd get all of their sexual satisfaction from a pill.

The pill would be designed so that you couldn't overdo it too much. It would only stimulate you to the maximum high that sexual intercourse could give, while at the same time, relieving the pent up stress accompanied by lack of sex.

This I think would free a good deal of men from desiring sex with women, because why should they try and please a women for sexual pleasure, and sexual release, when they can simply get a much, much better feeling from a drug.

Then men could think more clearly, and would be free from having to waste a bunch of money on women.

What do you think?

P.S This would act as a great way of reducing population, because if the men didn't want to have sex, then there would be far fewer babies.

My first thought is that this wouldn't be very fair to the women.

However, it doesn't make any sense anyway. It seems that if such a pill were voluntary, only the guys that weren't getting any would take it, hence there would be no difference in potential procreation. If you are getting laid regularly, why would you want such a pill ? Too lazy to make the sex?

What if anybody had an iota of fucking creativity?

cynicalheritic says, "you've pretty much blown them away, PMS, nobody wants to compete with you" Sad, there must be some creators out there. It's just a silly/fun exercise in imagination. Gimme your best, cynicalheretic.

Seen as triumphant to whom? How many people do you need to kill to go from invader to triumphant? I wish Caligula was around to answer this question.

Short answer is: You won't win and I don't care.

to the Iraqis who want to get on with their lives. I, for one, have been reading Iraqi blogs. They want things to get back to normal, and not Saddam's normal.

What if - we're all just (minor)subroutines operating in some large computer?

What if - we're all just facets of a single being...and it's about to wake up?

What if - we build self-replicating nanites...and they transform the Earth into grey goo?

What if - we build an AI...and it keeps us alive as pets?

What if - the Christians are right, and Christ returns...and, boy, is he ticked!

What if - there's a primordial black hole heading our way? And it's going to hit the Earth, dead center, in 3 years?

What if - a UFO lands, informs you that the above black hole is headed your way, and offers to take you and a few thousand other specimens to a safe place?

What if - cats are really the pinnacle of creation, and we're supposed to serve them. And the cat-god is returning. And, boy, is she ticked!

What if - we find a cheap source of limitless, clean energy...and we start using it...and we discover we've started a chain reaction that will doom the entire universe in 20 years?

What if - a bio-engineered virus escapes the labs. And you survive. Only you, all alone in the world....

What if - Lucifer appears before you and offers you a deal.

What if - PMS tops this?
