We are Sexual

"Of all the splendidly ridiculous, transcendently fulfilling things humans do, it's sex that most confounds understanding. What in the world are we doing? Why in the world are we so consumed by it?

Why should this be so? Did nature simply overload us in the mating department, hot-wiring us for the sex that is so central to the survival of the species, and never mind the sometimes sloppy consequences? Or is there something smarter and subtler at work, some larger interplay among sexuality, life and what it means to be human?" - TIME 2004

As we near the end of Human: Dust and Glory, we turn to Genesis 2: 18 - 25, and consider what it means to be made sexual.
