The fact is, I can’t think of an instinct (a title=”8 Health Reasons to Have Sex (As If You Needed Them)” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sex-health-benefits/”other than sex/a) that influences our evolution more or perhaps a more complex motivation. It’s one of those areas in which you can’t always separate biology from emotion. (The more you learn about the human animal, I think, the more apparent the melding of these two fields/forces becomes.) Enter cravings.
