http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness

Studies indicate that responsiveness to sugars and sweetness has very ancient evolutionary beginnings, being manifest as chemotaxis even in motile bacteria such as E. coli.[1] Newborn human infants also demonstrate preferences for high sugar concentrations and prefer solutions that are sweeter than lactose, the sugar found in breast milk.[2][3] Sweetness appears to have the highest taste recognition threshold, being detectable at around 1 part in 200 of sucrose in solution. By comparison, bitterness appears to have the lowest detection threshold, at about 1 part in 2 million for quinine in solution.[4] In the natural settings that human primate ancestors evolved in, sweetness intensity should indicate energy density, while bitterness tends to indicate toxicity[5][6][7] The high sweetness detection threshold and low bitterness detection threshold would have predisposed our primate ancestors to seek out sweet-tasting (and energy-dense) foods and avoid bitter-tasting foods. Even amongst leaf-eating primates, there is a tendency to prefer immature leaves, which tend to be higher in protein and lower in fibre and poisons than mature leaves.[8] The 'sweet tooth' thus has an ancient evolutionary heritage.
Masturbation then.

wouldn't it just be as a result of the evolutionary trait of promoting procreation? natural urge to have sex - hence it feels good - humans found a way to receive pleasure which naturally occurs from intercourse without the second person involved.

Aren't homosexuality and bisexuality just different forms of this?
Except instead of having no second person they have the same sex instead of the opposite.

Does everything need an evolutionary purpose?

Your line of argument is extraordinarily superficial, based upon this shallow idea that humans are merely and exclusively their external physique. They are so much more.

maybe, just MAYBE, there's something of a causal relationship between being raised by lesbians and, you know, having huge gender issues
There are so many studies on sexuality and gender identification of children raised by same sex couples, and it has no influence whatsoever.

Your peers are far more influential than home environment, parents don't really matter.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, your references are too meta.

chocolate also has a lot of tryptophan, which would biologically explain why we should like it as it is beneficial to us.

chocolate has glucose, glucose is energy? fat is actually a good thing on humans (not aesthetically, though practically).
