"So here's my solution, kill of 90% of the male human population. Then have the remaining 10% be sex slaves!"
I'd knock myself off before allowing that to come into effect in my lifetime. That would, effectively, be the end of the world. Believe it or not, there IS more to love than logic, or emotion, or anything else. There is a deep underlying bond that two people can share that far transcends any attempts at logical deconstruction or emotional analysis. Love is real, trust me, and it goes FAR, far deeper than anything else (with the possible exception of hate).
Reducing the world to such a lopsided population slant would quickly bring about the end of the human race. Got news for ya' - Guys wouldn't be happy with that arrangement. Yes, whether you like it or not, being a sex slave/prostitute/gigalo/~insert latest term here~ is not an enjoyable occupation.
"But Zadok! Lots of sex!"
Yay. Whoop-de-doo. Sex has no purpose if it is not shared with someone you care deeply about. One of the basic tenants of relationships is that tenants do not translate from partner to partner. What makes one person happy will put another in extreme agony. (Uncool things.) As a result, in order to have a truly fulfilling relationship (at least in my admittably limited experience), one must get to know one's partner. Your 'utopia' lacks that.
Essentially, your 'utopic' existance is to simply remove love. That's suicide, it would be the end of the human race. Love is a powerful force that has caused an enormous amount of pain and anguish throughout the millenia of human history.
But it's created more good than bad. It's worth keeping. Anyone who has felt true love can tell you that much. Don't analyze it. Doing so is akin to trying to analyze beauty. You can't - It's all about perspective and the eye of the beholder. Love is different every time, not stangant like some mathematical equation. You can't analyze it, and you can't "figure it out." It may only be chemical reactions in your brain, but damned if it isn't more than that.
When fate deals the cards, you can walk away.
When love deals the cards, you can walk away. But you'll only find yourself back at the table.
