Roulette Of Sexual Dualism

As vivacity is the gift of women, gravity is that of men. JOSEPH ADDISON (1711). The Spectator.

Chemical attraction is the beginning of the need to fulfill the idea of sexual dualism inculcated by the Nature in our species. Sexual dualism or need to have two sexes requires them to come closer also. There are some species that reproduce by themselves; why, then, there was a need to have copulating species. The idea of opposite sexes is akin to the universal idea of opposites: day and night, sky and earth, water and fire, negative and positive poles of magnet, etc. In the Tao, for instance, Yin and Yang, the male and female principles, are at the origin of every thing, every life and every motion. In Sumerian cosmogony, water that represents the initial manifestation of life in the world comes in two states: the fresh water or male principle and salt water or female principle, the union of the two gives birth to Mammu, a kind of animate water that posses mind and logos. In Egyptian primary divinity, Khoum was one and God produced a couple Chou and Tefnout. Veda presents the primeval couple as twins, Yami and Yama, from whose incestual act the human species is born. In Upanishads, God wanting to escape loneliness resolves himself into two halves of opposite sex and then generates mankind. Zarathustra tales talk about Yima being created by God as a kind of monster in which both sexes are united but soon sawed in half. The Androgynes was a spherical organism endowed with bifacial head, four feet, four hands, four ears and a double set of sexual organs. The strength and boldness of Androgynes began to worry Zeus, who cut them into halves "as an egg with a horsehair," describes Plato. Another version of the same theme is found in the Old Testament in which the human being is created in his final, male aspect and not as a precursor monster. Subsequently Eve is produced from Adam. By dividing the unique, by cutting woman out of man, Genesis forces them to reconstruct the initial being to multiply.

The need to have two sexes has now become abundantly clear as we come to understand the genetic structure of genes. In organisms that produce asexually, all generations will be alike, except for rare mutations. In sexually produced organisms a game of genetic lottery is played, making the offspring different from all other organisms. Sex is thus a diversity-generating device. As a result, sexual species have survived asexual species and sex makes extinction less likely. It is an adaptation to the unforeseeable.

How the Nature has provided us with instinct to reproduce is typical of the exploitation of the Grand Order.
