Juju's "pleasure reward" theory, although I know it is invalid, doesn't explain why many species die after producing off-spring. If in fact they "thought" sex was an intensely pleasurable act, they couldn't pass this info. onto their offspring because they are dead. Therefore, the need to reproduce is once again solely based on instinct and not on pleasure which is a "learned" emotional response to sex based on what humans "think" is pleasurable.
You're free to disagree, but you seem to have a misunderstanding of what I really meant.

I don't agree that pleasure is a learned response. You don't have to be taught that sex feels good, for the same reason you don't have to be taught that ice cream or chocolate tastes good.
