I just have one: “Amok Time,” which shows why male nerds have always identified with the Spock character: He gets an opportunity for sex only once every seven years—at best.
We understand that you think that certain demographics are not having sex and that this is a really important thing. Almost no one else here assigns this a high priority. Moreover, the fundamental claims in question are simply false. For example, Atheists and religious people have about the same amount of sex.
You used to spend your time on LW being an advocate for cryonics and related issues, something you’ve been involved with for a very long time and you clearly know a lot about. Why don’t you post more on that subject anymore?
And that justifies why they’re so absolute about it—at least in their special case: there are no Schelling fences on the Vulcan brain, when it comes to emotion.
I’m upvoting this because I don’t think that it should really be below the visible threshold. I expect that people are voting based not only on this comment but also on your other recent comments as cited by JoshuaZ. In and of itself, this comment is not as bad as all that, and it led to a worthwhile reply by is4junk. Nevertheless, I do basically agree with JoshuaZ.

We get the point. You earlier:
These injunctions from the Abrahamic religions assume that young men have opportunities for “fornication” in the first place. What if the young women in your life do all of the rejecting to keep this from happening?
I can see why atheists would want to deny unicorns: They don’t want unicorns to hold them accountable for their adult virginity. : ) and before that a nearly identical comment.

I always liked that episode. Before I thought being emotionless was effortless for Spock. When I saw that episode I realized he had to work at it.
