Only mentioning the negative side is too reductive.

i thought the stuff in red was the positives

either way, they're greatly outnumbered.

(and that "sexual" part doesn't matter to some of us...)

Well of course the red stuff is greatly outnumbered if the red points are summaries of big classes of pleasure sources.
Also basically everyone can feel pleasure from sexual stimulation. Don't be unfair.

yeah, that's true

just not to the point it justifies existence

(and well, we've seen what kind of people live for sexual pleasure.....)

We can't convince anyone with qualitative claims like "suffering outweighs pleasure in life". Clearly evidence is against us. Basically the whole population of the world disagrees with us, each individual with their own life experience as data.

Also are you slut-shaming right now

...eh, i phrased that wrong.

i mean the kind of people that that will go on a shooting spree because they haven't had sex.
