The Obsolete Sexual Paradigm

Once overpopulation made human procreation counterproductive, homosexuality was as sensible as anything else. What difference did it make who you made it with, as long as you got off—because in the end, getting off was all that really mattered. Making babies was passé; orgasmic pleasure reigned supreme. Sure, love and affection persevered, and people kept having children—there was no stopping that—but the world changed: in less than a century the biological imperative that had stoked mankind’s procreative drive since its inception was rendered obsolete; all that mattered, for the time being anyway, was orgasm for orgasm’s sake.
