Men

When it comes to sex, lots of men are assholes. Maybe all of them at one time or another in their lives. The rush of testosterone, the long thrust of evolution and the workings of the human nervous system make for a formidable combination against the vulnerable rational and moral brain.

Men who’ve succumbed, but probably shouldn’t have, to this pleasure drive have made history, both big history and little history. Consider the bastards through no fault of their own and the bastard gifts, like Leonardo da Vinci. The lives created and abandoned. The acts of false masculinity. 

Consider the unpredictable mix of the extraordinary and ordinary thrown into the gene pool, never knowing which is which. Pure lines and mutt lines, lines at the sperm bank in all the myriad forms and circumstances of the biological drive to propagate. All after those exploding moments of pleasure that can make a man a lover or an asshole.
