  • tutivlahos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+83If you need a reason to have sex..... oh my.
    • aliengoods, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Apparently, some people do. What I loved is the "I wanted to feel closer to God" reason. I didn't know God had a hand in my orgasms (pun intended).
    • why1ime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27I agree. I don't need 237 reasons why I should have sex. I'd prefer a list of 237 ways to GET sex. Someone needs to find that article and digg it.
      • trouble916, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Top 3 list: Visa.com Mastercard.com AmericanExpress.com

        No???
  • NewPatriot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4this should be a nobrainer
    • matrixbandit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Except the "gets rid of stress headache" part, like that isn't the biggest catch 22 ever.
  • davidagain, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49"I want to have a baby" isn't on the list?
    • aliengoods, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8"I want to have a baby" would be the reason I don't wear a condom.
    • goettel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3No, a guy wrote it.
  • fpcyber, on 10/11/2007, -0/+44Whoever thinks of that many reasons needs to get laid.
    • didoubleg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Obviously this story was written by a long time digger
    • Scyth3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1He thought of these many reasons because he wasn't getting laid.
  • WCASpooner, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24Ripping headlines right from the Fark.com front page eh?
    • himey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Yep....He did it the other day too.
    • goettel, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Why care?
      • himey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Because it is basically plagiarism. He is using someone else's wit as his own.

        Why would people care if Carlos Mencina steals other peoples material?.
    • ArtificialAnus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I am breathlessly awaiting the next article submitted by UCBearcats, which will no doubt include the use of slashies, and a possible reference to how much duke sucks.

      /likes fark too
      //still not cool to steal their articles
      ///or their slashies...

    • Chester12, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1How can this dude resubmitted an article 6 hours after it had already been submitted, from the same bloody site I might add. Proof: http://digg.com/health/The_237_reasons_why_people_have_sex (Notice how he sneakily changed the title using the first comment I had made)
  • Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -8/+0That's funny, 237 reason, normally costs $237 (exactly), kinda ironic!
  • yargthepirate, on 10/11/2007, -1/+117Buried for not actually containing a list of all 237 reasons.
  • spoileralert, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12Only a Brit could over-complicate sex.
    • ShaunO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6That would be the world-famous, British, University of Texas? RTFA.
  • chubbybubba, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1thats 237 reasons more than I needed.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10just do it!
  • Bender4Pharoah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Fark is that you? Another day, another digg headline stolen word for word from another news site.
    • jp3550, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2Fark is so good, yet you're posting on digg. Hmmm. Ironic. Since when did it matter how news got around?
  • timusca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I love the giant photo of 2 people getting in the mood... how exactly does it serve a purpose other than being a useless stock photo?
  • haroldk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Buried for ignorance in title: "Wait, there are more than "It feels good?""
    • Ianki, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Reason for ignorance: stolen from fark submission yesterday.
  • ps2pers0n, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18for digg it should be 237 ways to trick women into having sex with you.
  • airwalkery2k, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I do so wonder what all this "sex" fuss is about!
  • daxsymbiont, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2but globally there's overpopulation.
    • jagedlion, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1What, exactly are you basing that on? Last I checked, it was reported that the world actually produces surplus food technically! Saying there are starving people is like saying there are poor people. Just because some lack does not mean there isn't technically enough.
      • whataboutdave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Go read a book please. People are starving and warring over natural resources.
  • Vodka23, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Is "because shes hot" on the list?
  • kuchino, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Our digg virgins are in danger!!
  • web.phreak, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I love how this topic is surrounded by the Snorg tees chicks...
  • PacoDEmu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Ok, I understand, sex is amazing, wonderful, healthy, blah blah blah

    Still doesn't mean a shy nerd like myself is going to get laid again anytime soon...
    • Scyth3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yet you have the balls to post a comment which has the high probability of being mocked/made fun of...? hmmm....
    • goettel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Cash in on your nerd-thing: get the job, the khakis, the car, and you'll shag 'till you drop.

      Check out the actual be-girlfriended guys... nerds rule sex these days.
      • PacoDEmu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Already got the job: Oracle DBA
        Already got the khakis: stain resistance FTW
        Working on the car: looking to get an r32 when they come out if I can afford it

        As far as balls go, I do have confidence in myself. I'm as confident in myself as I am that my next girlfriend will use her feminine abilities to trick me into thinking that women could actually care about anything but themselves.

        That and I've got no game whatsoever.
      • apetrie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Wow, Paco.. I'm feeling both sorry for you and offended by your statement about women. Just like men, we can be shallow and self-absorbed, but not all are like that. If you're a geek (sounds like it) maybe a fellow geek would suit you. Contrary to popular belief us geeky girls DO exist and CAN be attractive.
        • PacoDEmu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I'm sure that there are loads of attractive geek girls out there who would make great girlfriends and could appreciate being in a loving relationship. There just aren't any around Washington PA.
    • panicdoll, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2There are tons of hot nerds out there.
      Really.
      Don't worry about it, pal.
  • Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20I had sex before, it's expensive.
  • isnthatheway, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I think I've seen no less than 50 similarly-useless articles on digg in the recent past... :yawn:
  • SeanClarity, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Stolen headline from Fark.
  • adameros, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4If you are going to gank an article from FARK, you could at least not so blatantly rip off their title for the article, "The 237 reasons to have sex. And you thought "feels good" was all you needed"
  • fant0m, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Title should be rephrased as "237 reasons why people other than diggers have sex."
  • nesibus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The only other reason besides - it feels good - ....."Cause your sister wanted it"
  • adairnic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1BECAUSE OF SNORGIE
  • descentgr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4You people really need to stop stealing headlines from Fark. This happens way too often.
    • WernerCD, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Who cares? Digg is about getting stories... from ANYWHERE else... and then putting them here... Slashdot and Digg have the same stories *ALOT*.

      People visit multiple sites. Same stuff gets posted to the multiple sites. The world moves on.
  • wackymacs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'm sure this has been on digg before...more than once, or twice...
  • karel747, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2*Stupid, old and pointless joke about Digg.com users not getting laid*
  • alwaysthere, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I need a picture for each reason or it's not a real reason. :)
  • lkeg56demn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1yay that's my university that did that study.
  • CeeJayDK, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3240. "Because I was sentenced to death by snoo snoo"
    • gotterdammerung, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I never thought I would die like this... but I always really hoped
    • shadyk8o, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Fabulous. Simply fabulous comment!
  • cdcdark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Since this is on Digg this should read "237 reasons to masturbate"
  • hehdot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Whoa, hold on, there are people out there that *actually* have sex? :O
    I thought that was just something you see in the movies.
  • shinedout, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3 I want the full list of 237 reasons! Not that short stupid article.
  • deaftone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Because it brings me closer to god?....because I would deffinately want to give it to god in the pooper.
  • joefreeza, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1"I wanted to share my syphilis"
  • lOvOl, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0Hummmmm, how about doing the most fundamental thing that all life on earth is supposed to try and do and that is to procreate? Population growth is a long-term problem, but war, famine, and disease will take care of that problem eventually. In the meantime, western civiilization will be gone in 50 years time as the civilized countries which have figured out how to provide running water to their people are not reproducing and instead are being overrun from an invasion of the third world.

    Hey, I am all for immigration as it has always happen throughout the course of history, but all around the world, people of European descent (plus the Japanese and Koreans) have a negative population replacement rate that is just staggering if you extrapolate the numbers of the next couple of generations. In other words, we are watching the slow-motion genocide of people with light skin all across the world. It is amazing how people talk about the genocide that goes on in Rwanda or Darfur, yet they fail to see the auto-genocide happening right before their very eyes. And part of being civilized is being able to tolerate minority peoples, but the countries where most of the third world immigration is coming from happen to be some of the most intolerant places on earth where crime and corruption is the culture itself and they keep breeding like rabbits and sending their undesirables to western nations while doing doing nothing to improve the lot of their own people.

    Unfortunately, once the people of lighter skin become minorities in their own lands, they will likely find out that the minorities who are now in the majority, are not as tolerant of them as they were when they were in the majority. Of course, from an emotionally charged perspective, much of this might sound EXTREMELY racist, but the facts are the facts and if you think genocide is a bad thing (especially for people of your ethnic group), then why is the genocide of people of darker skin a travesty, when the genocide of people of lighter skin is seen as no big deal? Almost every war ever fought may on the surface be fought for reasons like nationalism or ideology, but below the surface you will find that they are almost always about competition over access to natural resources when one group of people has outgrown their own living space and needs to forcibly take it from another weaker group of people. What does the anti-population crowd propose in order to limit the population growth worldwide when many groups around the world don't see that growing human beings like bacteria in a petri dish eventually will have very violent consequences.
  • burnswhenipee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1..."reasonably effective way of overcoming boredom"

    I'm bored. Wanna *****?
  • evileddy60, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I have sex so my girlfriend won't dump me.

    Women have higher sex drives then men.

    men who disagree aren't getting any sex.
  • blastus7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2because i have a nympho for a girlfriend?

  • 4eloBek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i am still waiting on how to have sex when your wife/husband/gf/bf is fat/ugly you hate her or you bored of seeing her/him naked, etc.... i know only one find a hooker!
  • okie4life, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0dugg down for inaccuracy. There is only one reason. To get yours and get out.
  • diggmeplease, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Anything about reasons to have sex makes it to the front page. Burried as getting too ***** old.
  • xaviel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Because I had a 100$ bill laying around.
  • toddcat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You need a reason? Ohhhh...I guess I better go tell the 13 baby's mamas. Damn. Back to work.
  • ASSHO, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1My 237 reasons for having sex:

    1) Megan Fox
    2) Brittany Spears b4 she got crazy
    3) Pamela Anderson 10 years ago
    4) the girl I saw in the lobby in the morning
    5) the MILF I saw yesterday at the gym
    6) Jessica Simpson
    ...
    237) add any big boobed women.

    Having sex with 237 different women would be a good reason for having sex. Having sex 237 times with the same person would get old. I can't think of a good reason to do that.
