  Wait… what? Animals are like… mostly driven by food and sex. Humans are not an outlier. Animals also don’t have human morals or value consent, so many will attempt to fuck humans or other species against their consent, often very harmfully for the subject. Animals masturbate. Animals have incredible specializations specifically for sexual selection, with no impact or even detrimental effects for their survival. Humans aren’t even the only animals to have recreational sex. All of evolution is optimizing for the best probability to survive and have sex. Sex is what life is.

  I don’t agree with any of the assumptions you’re making about humans being an outlier. We’re not even particularly remarkable, sexually. If aliens reproduce sexually, why wouldn’t they be sexually driven? That’s literally the main thing evolution optimizes for. Everything else is just secondary, and only is prioritized if it increases the likelihood of surviving to reproduce.

  What do you mean? There are so many species that are kind of all about sex drive. All those insects that don’t even eat in their adult life, just fuck. Humans can’t compare!

  I think any assumption of Aliens would be a mistake.

    You made an assumption and so did I. I just based my assumption on what we know about life on earth.
