-There are males and females. If there were no sex organs, there would only be one non-gender. If there are sex organs, Cantrians can have sex. In the real world, no one needs to have sex unless they want a child, and I would say that 99% of all sex, in that context, is needless sex, so your argument is pretty thin.
Yes, but the only reason that there are male and female characters is because Jos put it in there, I'm assuming because it would seem unnatural not too. I very much doubt he thought all that much into it.
As for people having sex for fun, it's very true many many people do it simply for fun with no intention of having children, but see, the reason that it is fun is so that people (and everything else that has sex) will reproduce. If it was not fun, nobody would do it. It would be a pointless investement. Children are impractical, very difficult to give birth to, must be fed, and are largely useless and completly dependant for a number of years. If having sex were not fun, people (and things) that had offspring would be in the minority, and everything would go extinct.
That's why sex is pleasurable. If it weren't, if wouldn't ever happen. It's the Master Plan, my friend.
If people did not have to have children, then there would be no reason for sex to be pleasurable, and so it wouldn't be.
