Why do we still care about sex in the modern world?

Theres no real purpose in career, money or anything else

I think there's a gigantic difference.

  • Career - it's rather impossible to even have a career unless you've developed a skill that is worth something to society. If you're passionate about your career (past the "I'm just doing this for a paycheck" mentality) then you can greatly benefit society and culture as a whole. My career is in writing and publishing. Books change lives, change culture, change history. Movies and art do as well. Those things matter greatly on a macro scale and historical scale. I fail to see how getting sucked off has any impact anywhere near that simply because it makes me "feel good."

  • Money - you can't really help anybody in this world very much unless you have money. People with A LOT of money are able to give it away, fund research, fund initiatives, keep the gears of industry turning, keep science, technology, engineering, and medical fields all greased up with grants and funding, keep people at work, and so on.

You eat because eating feels good.

No, you eat because if you don't you'll fucking die.

because beeing fat piece of shit would not make you feel too good. See the point?

That doesn't make sense either, the majority of people in the Western world are fat precisely because they have overabundant access to food and eating makes them feel good.

I'm just pointing that out, I'm not sure what this has to do with the conversation as a whole.

So no, I don't see the point.

If you want sex because it makes you feel good in long term, go for that, if it doesnt make you feel good (short or long term, whatever), dont do that.

I'm just talking to OP about the superfluous nature of sex without the desire to have children.

If you do not desire to have children, there is no other point to sex other than to feel good.

And yet the time and energy wasted in order to obtain this fleeting feeling is hardly ever worth the cost.

At best, you have an orgasm (that you could have had by yourself). Yet, the orgasm you could have had by yourself was free, while the one you had with a woman involved immense time, money, and energy.

The question is...is it worth the investment?
