[ He's done his reading. He's lurked around the Red Light district for answers. 9S has seen a lot recently, but he still doesn't know. It's an itch in his mind waiting for a good scratch, but observation and research hasn't quite done the trick. He's got the basics down, he thinks, but it still seems a little too personal to test the waters himself. Being physical with someone like that? He may as well give a stranger his personal decryption codes. He's made friends here and most people aren't so bad, but the vulnerability still bothers him.

9S is more than a little exasperated with wondering. The world, especially a new one like this, is full of so much else yet there's so much focus on that one activity. ]

Why are humans so obsessed with sex? Aren't there more interesting things to do?

[ Phrasing it like that might ease the "why are you so weird?" "i'm an android" part of a conversation, he thinks, but 9S realizes it's strange enough that people will be confused regardless. This was a terrible idea. Where's the delete function on this thing, anyway?

Sigh.]

At least it's not war, I guess.

[ Always a positive. ]

[ He gets part of the way into a reply about the interesting things about nuclear physics before realizing the point. ]

That's fair. I tend to find most things I don't understand to be interesting, especially if it's something I've never needed to understand before. That just happens to be one of them.

[deathproofs]

and yet you ask a question like this, couched in unawareness on why humans have sex. so is it really 'most things' or just things that don't involve other people that you find interesting?

[idealog]

Pretty sure it's 'most things'.

I get the how and why of humans having sex, for the most part, but I don't understand why there's such an emphasis on it here over so many other things. Where I came from, nuclear physics was a bit more common.

[deathproofs]

it's fun and makes you feel good. two viable reasons why people do shit.

( not that reaper enjoys it, but he remembers when he did. there are more fun things to do now. like shoot people!! )

sex is one thing everyone has in common.

[idealog]

I don't think everyone has that in common. Maybe biological beings, but... not everyone.

[ Machines didn't count. And they didn't even figure it out properly. ]

[deathproofs]

( machines do count! )

guess it depends on the inorganic being.
