More of a biological necessity.

My reasoning for why it exists was that there was a point where Equestria was overpopulated, and Celestia and Luna made it so that the horny ponies would have a less destructive means of relief while still being somewhat comfortable with the whole thing.

Normally I'm tolerant of this stuff, but sheesh, ponies as sex maniacs? :P That's some messed up fanon you got there.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

On a completely different note, I've been thinking about trying to write a Pinkie Pie themed parody if the ICP song "Piggie Pie", but I can't think of where to go with the idea...

Any ideas?

Lauren did state that ponies were effectively mammals, and, honestly, mammals aren't exactly known for chastity. One could easily imagine a group with equivalent ability to thrive as us having similar issues with overpopulation as us.

I'm more comfortable with this discussion because I'm thinking in a completely scientific mindset. I can understand that you are not sharing that mindset, and if you wish to move away from the topic, go ahead and post something else.

Ninjaedit: I would help, but the only ICP song I know anything about is the song that the magnets meme came from.

The Hub. They've got a handy channel locator on the website.

Unfortunately, it's not available for anything less than full cable or satellite. I think.

For some reason I'm more comfortable with grimdark dictator Celestia than with "lets make ponies randomly want to go out to dinner/make out/have wild sex with their friends". And that doesn't seem like a reasonable solution to overpopulation, seeing as how there would probably be emotional trauma and likely some sort of distancing in a lot of cases (in the R-rated and possibly PG-13 versions), seeing as how friendship doesn't necessarily correspond to supressed sexual tension.

Think about it: One day you're hanging out with a good friend, who you've known for a long time. All of a sudden, you feel an irresistable sexual attraction to them, and they plainly feel the same towards you. Up till that point, your relationship has been nothing more than friendship. You wake up the next morning, and remember what happened. Are you honestly telling me that you wouldn't feel the least bit awkward, let alone violated? How is that at all a good idea, trying to solve overpopulation by breaking up friendships with forced dinner dates/kissing/groping/sex? Tia and Luna aren't stupid, ya know.  :P

OTOH, it is a good mechanism for writers who just want a reason to write about all their favorite ships having amazing sex. *facedesk*

Real lyrics
Real Youtube Video

As you can see the parody would have to be completely rewritten from scratch, keeping only the melody (unless I wanna do some kinda Cupcakes tie-in, which I don't think I do)

One would imagine that people growing up in an environment like that would be used to the idea.

After all, even though it's kind of hush-hush, we aren't too terribly weirded out by half of our species bleeding for three to seven days straight every month.

It's a mechanism for easy shipping, anyway. Don't think too hard into it, you'll just feel awkward.

We really don't have to continue the discussion. I won't be able to respond if nobody makes something for me to respond to.

An especially good point when you consider that our species really IS quite abnormal in having a menstural cycle rather than an estrous cycle.
