I find myself unable to agree with these comments. Maybe sexual
pleasure and neural science will "combine" as opposed to delete one
sex out all together.
This is some of what I was saying previously though, about
individual choice. You could choose sex as nill, non-void in your
life, you could focus on whatever you wish. And so could others,
different as they may be.
Did you really say "sex is not productive in our current
society" I don't know about your angle on this, but sex is a sure
fire benefit to me!
Also I'd have to say that drug addicts still feel and enjoy sex.
I'm not one, but I am not oblivious. I don't know anyone who doesn't
like sex, excluding the obvious celebits, monks, and nuns and I'm
sure a few others.
And as far as the vampire gig, you could include this in the
layering of engineering the usual unsexual sensation's along with the
typical.

not productive ( wow... what an incredible unintentional pun) in our

noticed some roll-playing buffs on this list) where the immortal (see
a parallel, anyone?) vampires have replaced the lust for sex with the
far more powerful lust for human blood, which is the sustenance of
the species.
