This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Casual sex [...] has no survival value

I wonder how many people less of our species were on earth w/o casual sex. It doesn't have survival value for one personally, though.

I have no education on this matter but I'm going to confidently say at least 1/8 of the planet. 1/5 of the western world, and asia, I'd say 1/3

Depends on what you count as casual sex. People grow emotionally more attached to friends with benefits than to strangers too and might help them in a tough situation over a stranger or mere acquaintance.
