What disturbs me about this model is that my mind is now telling me ‘yeah, sure you can consider sex as a resource’, while 100 seconds ago (right after I read the comment) it was telling me, with equal certainty, ‘wtf? sex isn’t a resource!!’
How could you not consider sex a resource? It isn’t just a resource, or merely a resource but it is one of the most significant resources out there. There are entire industries out there for the buying and selling of sex. There is an industry for capturing and selling people from whom this resource can be harvested. The most rudimentary of marketing tactics is to find ways to make other resources associate with sex in the minds of the consumer.

Just a thought that had never occurred to me. However, I’m still wary of accepting this interpretation because my mind completely bought into it after just a few seconds of thinking about it. Ergo, either it’s a blindingly obvious fact, as you suggest, or my mind is overfitting the data, and....
