Well, a geneticist would tell you the purpose of life is to protect your DNA and to pass it along as much as you can, thereby ensuring the code's survival.....
............and who can argue with a geneticist?

Isn't it strange that most of the accepted social behavior of modern civilization seems to contradict this one behavior? Monogamy might help protect your offspring, but it's much more efficient and more conducive to diversity to impregnate as many women as possible. I honestly never stop dwelling on this one thing. I love my family, but how many more kids could I hypothetically have before I'm too old to do so? I just hate to put all my DNA in one genetic basket, ya know?

It really isn't just confined to this - females also play the genetic sweepstakes and mate with other males on the sly even in monogamous pair-bonding animal species (and primates/humans), and there are a significant amount of young born in this way. Scientists have analysed the DNA of baby birds from pair-bonded parents, and in some species 65% of the young were fathered by another male and this is common. Total sexual monogamy is extremely rare in nature, but for some reason the myth that women want monogamy and men want polygamy continues anyway.
and the other thought is, so you impregnate dozens of women. so what?
.,,,,,,,,,,,who's going to protect and raise those children until old enough to fend for themselves and protect the code? apparently not you, right? you're just in it to simply pollenate the fields. and these women aren't going to go it alone. some man needs to be around long enough to protect those children. else they will not make it to an old enough age. And if not you, who? you think you are unique in your desire to only pollinate the fields? if that is all a man is willing to do, then the women will be forced to keep men away while they raise their young. why? she can't be pregnant and giving birth AND protecting her existing children. She is very vulnerable in this state (pregnant). So she will remain celibate until her young are old enough to fend for themselves, and then she will once again accept pollination. So that puts you in the position of having to do something about it if you still want to pollinate her fields. what are you going to do? kill her children so she no longer has to protect them?
............uh? hadn't thought of that one?
