Sex

[JOEYSHABADO]

When did sex start? How did it start? How many animals reproduce asexually?

"Sexual intercourse began in nineteenth sixty-three (Which was rather late for me) 

Between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles' first LP."

These are lines from Philip Larkin's poem 'Annus Mirabilis'. I wonder whether they answer your first question!

I thought he was straight?

[JOEYSHABADO]

I meant how many "things" reproduce asexually, rather than 'animals' as such.

at the arousal stage?

About 500 million years ago.  It cause evolution to accelerate at a much greeater rate because there is more variation.  Before then it was 3 billion years of not-very-much boring stuff happening.
