We step outside thought and are only in the physical pleasure aspect of flesh. We are rutting and grunting animals and our births are marked with blood and pain. I feel this strongly having been the prey to several animals.

I read a book whose name escapes me now but I will search through my collection for the name. The people lived asexual lives and were asexual themselves until mating time. They did couple and live their lives together. During mating time being hermaphroditic one would become masculine and one feminine and they would have a child. After birth returning to the asexual state. They were not intersexed since their bodies would adjust to the mating period. What I am trying to remember is according to the book was their mating times where both masculinized or feminized and so were not able to have children in that cycle.

Any cultures who did fail to reproduce died out and are only known in history. The science fiction fantasy world of humans as hermaphroditic may be as sexless as we dare to become. While I am far removed from human sexuality and see it as rather primordial I am glad some choose to rut and grind away. I am pleased to be a eunuch but do not want a world of us. Much like a vampire wants a human blood supply a world of vampires would soon go hungry indeed.
