"Is this it? ..."having sex is NOT a biological "imperative""
WHat do you see as the difference?"

Reproduction is a biological imperative in order for a species to survive.
Having sex for pure pleasure in NOT an imperative.
Sheesh...
Post-election season is a time for healing, for putting aside the rancor of a long campaign and rediscovering what unites us. It has not been that way this year.
Prudence, one would think, if not generosity of spirit, should impel Democrats to be magnanimous in victory. Romney did receive about 48 percent of the vote. A little modesty among the winners would seem to be in order.
Instead, the gloating has been extravagant. Worse, liberals have gorged themselves on the same junk food they enjoyed during the campaign and cannot seem to resist under any circumstances -- slandering their opponents....
Scratching your sexual itch is not imperative to your survival, nor does it require a partner thereby risking an unwanted pregnancy... which was the original point of my comment.
Who's having a "grasp" problem?
You appear to be confusing a survival instinct with a biological imperative. The entire human race, as well as all other species, have a biological imperative to mate. One conceptualization would be that each individual is driven to insure the survival of his or her genes. ANother might be that the biological imperative insures the survival of the species itself. But the drive to mate is as strong an imperative an anything else on your list.
