Let’s Talk About Sex Part 1 (KEW 117)

Sex.

We’re obsessed with it. And for good reason. Sexual reproduction is the mechanism that perpetuates life. We can’t live forever, but we can become essentially immortal by passing on our genes to the next generation.

Humans, and other life forms, don’t live forever. But one can argue that our DNA does.

And it’s not all sex, but it’s more fun to talk about sex. We used to get along great without sex. All organisms reproduced asexually at first. No boys. No girls. No gender at all. Just a bunch of clones.

I’ll even argue that, before sex, there were no species. I mean, there were different kinds of organisms, but the concept of not being able to reproduce with other species was non-existent. Because we only reproduced with ourselves.

In this first installment in a trilogy of sex episodes, I describe the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. If you haven’t thought about this before it’s a little mind-blowing. And the onset of sexual reproduction sets the stage for the next KEW arc which explains why Love evolved and why it is so important to feel connected. Or why we are ‘driven’ to be connected.

Sex is natural. Sex is fun.

Sex explains everything.

Why not obsess about another aspect of sex, which is why it evolved in the first place?
