Meh.  I'm close to being 22 years old and virginal; I may end up that way for the rest of my life, depending (hopefully not the "almost 22" part, though).  I guess the main reason is because my interest in sex approaches zero, and my interest in not having babies is very, very high.  Oh, and I doubt my ability to pick up girls.

I can see why abstinence might pose a problem for other people, though.

24 here and also a virgin... mostly I think.  I look forward to the day when I find a guy who I can share a mutual attraction with and who I can really talk to.  I don't think it really matters when you lose your virginity, if ever.  There's plenty of other things to do in life, some probably more interesting and longer lasting anyway.

20, and not as chaste as others here.
*Awkward whistle*
But I would never sleep with a girl just because I could get away with it. If there isn't a strong emotional attachment already there, then it would be no fun.
Seriously, you can say that your not interested in sex now, but things might change quickly if you find somebody special.

When you do get the . . .erm. . .urge, it's usually just your reproductive hormones going "DO IT!!! WE NEED TO CONTINUE THE HUMAN RACE EVEN THOUGH WE'VE GROWN OUT OF THE ERA THAT REQUIRED SHITTONS OF BIRTH TO HAVE A SURVIVING CHILD! NO REGRETS!" And then everything goes to shit.

Eh, you say reproductive chemistry, I say we are nothing more than chemicals, so it is that chemistry that makes us who we are. Sort of romantic if you ask me.

Seriously, I... don't think I'm going to run into that problem.

If you're going to get all biologically deterministic about it, you might as well say that the entirety of human behavior and physiology is the result of natural selection mostly taking place nowhere even close to the modern era to begin with, though. And then everything goes to shit!

Ha ha, if we're still on the virginity topic, then 22 and still one. At present, I'm not interested in pursuing a sexual relationship without an emotional relationship into the bargain, and I don't really have the time or energy to do right by the latter. Or, to be perfectly honest with myself (and I guess the rest of you since I'm writing this out), the inclination; I'm still way too focused on creating myself to devote much to an obligation to support another (even if it would come with the converse support). Possibly I am dumb (or a romantic depending on the spin you want to put on things), but a purely sexual relationship doesn't appeal to me much right now, and no serious relationship is a sufficiently significant need to get me to pursue it right now.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Eh, I meant unplanned pregnancies due to giving in to crazy strong urges messing up your education and most likely most of your life. That's what I meant when I said then everything goes to shit. And I do beleive that many of human urges have not changed since. . .well I don't really know. I suppose since the (relativitaly) modern human evolved. It would be nice for humans not to have super crazy urges because they were needed for survival long ago, that's all I'm saying now.

None of this matters anyway. Evolution means that current extant adaptations are always those that were useful to previous generations.

On a related note, what would you say is "required", now that we're talking in a more general sense. I believe that we should just go with these things because in the grand scheme nothing is required. Ultimately the fact that we no longer "need" to have lots of children, or "need" to consume any food that becones available, in order to continue the human race means nothing because we never needed to to continue the human race in the first place. Its just something we do and just as much as these other things that have been mentioned is not "Needed" but is merely a side-effect of the unthinking process of evolution. If we limited ourselves to things that were truly necessary we would fall inert until we die.

If you meant "adaptationally required", then it is still unnecessary to do something about it. Adaptation will take care of itself, as it did for billions of years before humanity evolved.

Not always. If the environment changes, then it is possible that the prior was more well adapt to these new conditions. Although that is a very unusual circumstance.

Hooray for greedy algorithms, amirite?

Also, I am going to shake my fist in Vector's general direction now. I'll probably miss, what with the distance and all that. Still, envy! I have such instincts, they just crop up too infrequently to justify changes to my lifestyle. Very annoying when they do arise.

see what I did there?
