  Sex is ordinarily thrown in with eating as a basic human instinct. But unlike eating, it can also be satisfied without external support -- in other words, by masturbation. Evolutionarily, why might we feel the need not only the have an orgasm but also to couple with another person?

  70/30 rule.

  Of all women only 30% actually enjoy sex and thus pursue having more of it with their patterns. However these women are made to feel inferior about themselves and their natural desires by the remaining 70% who would much rather shop for that one particular shirt pant or shoe than to have sex with the man of their dreams.

  And the women who dispute this are part of that 70%.

  As a man why do I have sex, for the unadulterated unbound passion that occurs between two people when they engage in the act.
