Is even money just a sex surrogate?

Sex is the primary part of that. Without it, there is no survival.

I do it more, too. But sex -- as in propagating -- is every bit as vital. Not to the survival of the individual -- but definitely to the survival of a species (if that is the way the species procreates).

But a starting point or an apex, is not the the entire lifeline.
I guess that's my point. The chicken isn't the egg. So I can't agree that everything's sex. Everything can be traced back to it, sure, but that doesn't invalidate everything else along the way, that's a totally separate experience.

I thought we were going to talk about Polymorphous perversity.

After everything else, TV, books, singing, orgasm, communicating, food, shelter, warmth (Mazletov etc) then comes the species.
Anything that promotes the species such as TV, books, singing, orgasm, communicating, food, shelter, warmth (Mazletov etc) are secondary to that.
Money can provide all of the above and substitute for the feelings of or bring about most of them.

I think that sex is only one aspect of our humanity. Our life energy (prana) is the source of all things of value in this life and the next.

I see what Dr M is driving at. EVERYTHING is sex in one way or another. You sex with your wife or girlfriend (Husband or boygriend) for satisfaction. You go to work either for the satisfaction it brings or the money to chase your satisfaction in some other arena.
You drive a SEXY new car. You wear a sexy new dress and so on.
Life boils down to SEX and SATISFACTION.

That's at a certain level of functioning.
I'm in pain a lot. Life is not about sex then. It's about not being in pain. And that's not really satisfaction, that's "please make the ow stop."
So different levels of functioning determine how close you get to dance around your life goals.

I would be interested in what Doc has to say, yet personally I read the initial post along the lines of ... we whore ourselves for satisfaction, which never comes when we whore ourselves. Shrugs - that's my take.

For me... What is there? There's sex, there's beauty. Beauty is sex. There's power. Power is good for what? Making beauty (sex) and getting sex, and helping people. Okay, there's another one: helping people.
So there's sex and helping people.
Money... Money is power. We've already covered power. It's heloing people and sex. It's also making people do what you want, but what do you want people to do? Walk around and cackle like chickens? Only maniacs want power for that reason, like Hitler and Pol Pot and this guy who lives down the block who's running for Library Board.
There's knowledge-- But knowledge is beauty (sex) &/or Power (helping people & sex)
What have I left out?
Stockcar racing and Polka music.
Those two are inexplicable.

Sex serves many ends. Pleasure, procreation, power. We all use it in different ways. A spouse might use sex to satisfy their own base desires in the process of striking a bargain. "Have sex with me tonight, and I'll buy that dress for you tomorrow."
It's cynical to assume that sex is always about something more than mutual gratification and the furtherance of a relationship. Alas, that is how the majority of people feel these days.
"What have you done for me lately," and all that.
In a perfect world, sex would have nothing to do with property, or gain, or anything other the pleasure provided within the moment.
Welcome to an imperfect world.
