Scientists would do far better to invent a drug that prevents people from wanting sex until they are married, and then only to have children. Surely that isn't too much to ask in this day and age?

Probably most people would consider the danger of manipulating people's nervous systems, hormone balance, etc, is more likely to cause problems than the possibility of people having sex. Funny eh.
I think your entire ideology is fundamentally unsound. I can understand abstaining from sex, but it's a key part of human relationships and if it's not good, how can you expect to base a marriage on it without any prior testing?
'This day and age' being the Dark Ages?
Lionel may only want to have sex to make babies, but some of us want to do it just for fun.
fuck you starving children in Africa, we have bigger fish to fry, i mean, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE HAVING FUN!!!1
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, TO THE SIN SHELTER!!!1
Why should anyone invent a drug to stop the urges, feelings and emotions given to human beings by god. Wouldn't that be interfering in god's will? Didn't he make us as we are? Aren't we responsible for our own actions? Didn't god make sex enjoyable? If you repress the sexual desires of humans, you are preventing god's plan from coming to fruition.
Religion, the opiate of the masses, failed at that?
See, what we need to do is take Ron White's suggestion and find a drug that makes semen taste like chocolate. Everyone would win then.
Prozac is known to fuck up the sex drive pretty bad. Oh and it makes you fat, so no one will want you anyway.
But it also cures people of fundieism, so maybe you wouldn't like it after all.
"Scientists would do far better to invent a drug that prevents people from wanting sex until they are married, and then only to have children."
Why bother when fundyism has the same effect? What's more, it's only effective on truly stupid people who probably shouldn't be breeding anyway.
Now if only you'd stop getting married!
Yeah, I'd pay for that.
Oh wait, no.
Or we implant a chip in everyone's brain, so their minds will by absorbed by the mind of Hive-Overlord Lionel of London.

Wow, AWESOME, they've FINALLY found those long lost George Orwell manuscripts from the late 40's .... oh wait, this is real ??? Could you hand me that gun there ?? Thanks, bye.
....Bang.
No, it's too much to ask in ANY day and age, because if you eliminate the sex drive, there's no COMPULSION to have sex, and even if you tried out of the sentiment of reproduction, you wouldn't be able to orgasm! Holy fuck, why must you people revel in your stupidity?
Why? Bit unclear about the reasons why you'd want this.
Also a bit curious as to who'd fund the research. More companies make money from selling sex to people in various forms (cars, deodorant, booze, etc), sexualizing 13 year old girls and anti-impotence drugs.
Don't think there's a lot of market for your prudery.
"We will abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are working on it right now."

That sounds a bit intrusive, to say the least.
Bottom line, if you don't like premarital sex, only four words are needed: DONT. FUCKING. HAVE. IT!
No, no, no ... you all missed the point.
This poor guy is gay! He's *begging* for someone to do this so that he can have babies without having to have sex with the icky lady he married all the time.
And probably thinks the rest of us feel the same way about the opposite sex, and gay sex, that he does. Can't have fun doing one because you're not attracted to them, can't have fun doing the other cuz you'll burn in hell forever.
Poor guy.
I would actually be ok with that, as long as a few conditions are met:
No side effects
Effects disappear less than one week after last pill
The taking of this pill is legally equivalent to sex, meaning that forcing someone else to take the pill is rape. That includes a parent forcing his kid to take it. I would also not allow anyone under 18 (or legal consent age) to take it.
sounds good...now cure all other emotions, get rid of the impulse to be religious, get rid of empathy and all other impulses other than obtaining what it wants. Now, you have the "perfectly rational" human being. I call it: Homo Economicus.
If YOU want that kind of drug, go ahead and invent it, asshole, and use it on YOURSELF! The rest of us kinda like having sex for the enjoyment of having sex. If you think that marriage ought to be for life, people ought to "test-drive" their future spouse first, to make sure that they are compatible in bed.
I found out, a couple of years AFTER my marriage, that I was infertile. I haven't used any form of contraceptives since 1998. The only "result" is a miscarriage in 2002. Neither I, nor my husband, are prepared to cease and desist having sex, just because we're not able to produce children, asshole!
Did I mention that you're an asshole, asshole?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
