sex is good in the sense that it triggers rewards in the brain. it's like a drug, except that it has no negative consequences. obviously it's good.

if you want to turn this into some philosophical discourse about the definition of good to detract from the obvious benefits of sex, then well that's just a waste of time.

>"Purpose: To examine the relationship between an intelligence measure and a wide spectrum of partnered
sexual activity ranging from holding hands to sexual
intercourse among adolescents.
Method: Analyses are based on two separate samples of
adolescents. The core sample of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) includes
approximately 12,000 adolescents enrolled in the 7th to
12th grades. The Biosocial Factors in Adolescent Development projects followed approximately 100 white males
and 200 black and white females over 3- and 2-year
periods, respectively. Both studies used the Peabody
Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as an intelligence measure, and confidential self-reports of sexual activity.
Logistic regression models were used to examine the
relationship between PPVT scores and coital status in
Add Health data; proportional hazard models were used
to examine the timing of initiation of noncoital and coital
activities as a function of PPVT scores in the Biosocial
Factors sample.
Results: Controlling for age, physical maturity, and
mother’s education, a significant curvilinear relationship
between intelligence and coital status was demonstrated;
adolescents at the upper and lower ends of the intelligence distribution were less likely to have sex."

Generally, yes.
They start out ignorant and unworried, then they get rebuffed for their clumsiness, and when they wonder what they did wrong they look at it from all angles they know in order to try to figure it out, which leads to fear and nervousness from all times after as they go into each situation thereafter having already realized the millions of ways it could go wrong.

It might be because intelligent people are more likely to develop superiority complexes. This elitism may seem unfounded to others, who make value judgements of others based on more factors that just intelligence (such as charisma and physical attractiveness).

As a result, our hypothetical genius becomes even more isolated from the social norm and remains a virgin.

This isn't 100% true. The only reason they remain virgins could be for a variety of reasons. The mostly likely cause is that during their time growing up, they were kept separated from 'normal' people which causes them to develop social anxiety of some form, forcing a lack of confidence upon them. Women dig self-confident, 'alpha' like males. Thus, these faggots are virgins.

The present study explored whether there were relationships among gender nonconformity, intelligence, and sexual orientation. A total of 106 heterosexual men, 115 heterosexual women, and 103 gay men completed measures of demographic variables, recalled childhood gender nonconformity (CGN), and the National Adult Reading Test (NART). NART error scores were used to estimate Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ) and Verbal IQ (VIQ) scores. Gay men had significantly fewer NART errors than heterosexual men and women (controlling for years of education). In heterosexual men, correlational analysis revealed significant associations between CGN, NART, and FSIQ scores (elevated boyhood femininity correlated with higher IQ scores). In heterosexual women, the direction of the correlations between CGN and all IQ scores was reversed (elevated girlhood femininity correlating with lower IQ scores). There were no significant correlations among these variables in gay men. These data may indicate a "sexuality-specific" effect on general cognitive ability but with limitations. They also support growing evidence that quantitative measures of sex-atypicality are useful in the study of trait sexual orientation.

Highly intelligent people aren't "socially estranged", I think it has to do with tougher mate selection (you, at least subconsciously, want to breed with someone who has similar psychological traits to yourself) and the fact that intelligent people tend to have lower impulsive behavior and higher foresight, ergo they are less likely to engage is risky activity.

Evolution brought upon us the fact that sperm which contains genes of better outcome have a higher probability to be those that reach the egg; therefore a sperm which results in neither, say, intelligence nor sexappeal doesnt reach it, normally. Lets assume that each sperm has a 1% chance to result in intelligence, and a 1% chance to result in sexappeal. Out of 10000 sperms then, 9801 die due to lameness, 99 result in sexappeal, 99 in intelligence and 1 in both. Therefore, out of 199 people, 99 get laid, 99 are virginerds and 1 is me.
