Nature is inherently ruthless because of its lack of sentience (a stone doesn't care about anyone), and life is a "survival of the fittest" system born from the evolution of inanimate matter, and "mankind" is a product of the darwinian system that is life.

All in all, the ruthless pursuit of personal interest is basically embeded in our DNA.

Regarding your question, I was mostly talking about deficient libido. Males were naturally designed to be almost constantly wanting, which urges them to seek sexual interaction at every opportunity, which largely increases the odds of successful encounters, which in turn largely increases the probability of passing down their genes before they die.

As you can see, that's a lot of "ifs" in an originally very hostile environment, so males with a weak libido were almost guaranteed to die without descendants, making them an evolutionary faillure.

Things are very different now, ensuring your lineage no longer requires a strong libido, and those with a weak one have actually a better quality of life due to lesser hormonal stress.

But nature is slow to change, and usually doesn't at all until it proves necessary. So until a weak libido becomes an evolutionary advantage (little chance), we're pretty much stuck with unnecessarily high desires, source of unnecessary trouble for all involved.
