Reply #17: Millions of years of evolution [View All]

Evolution has hardwired cruising, or in biological terms "searching for a mate", into every species on the planet. Humans are not the only species to have developed furtive ways of looking for a mate, it is present in other social animals. Low status monkeys have to get their sex on the sly, out of the view of the alpha male, and they risk getting punished if they are caught. The only crime against nature going on is the criminal stupidity of law enforcement, thinking they can enforce against natural behaviors. The only thing they should be doing is asking people to take it somewhere else.

Like a lot of "crimes", the perpetrator underestimates the risk of getting caught, or ignores it entirely because he is fixated on the reward. Risk of getting caught does provide a bit of an adrenaline rush, and if one gets addicted to the rush, their behavior will become riskier and riskier until they finally go one step too far.
