if we were immune to disease and did not age ( immortal but body can be damaged to death)
would we tend to live a super boring existence because we would be afraid to get hurt and die since never dying would actually be an option?

If we couldn't die, there would be no need for birth.
There would be no need for sex.
If we couldn't die, there'd be no need to eat, drink, breathe, find shelter or solve problems, no need to cooperate, no need for language.
There would be no need for sense perception, no need for awareness.
Life itself would not be.
There would be no need for sex.

@hartfire I see your point but not all of life is about surviving, having sex with a condom or eating chocolate cake have little to do with biological imperative, or skiing, we just do it for fun. also discovering more about the universe is always interesting. although dying wouldn't be a worry, the quest for pleasure and comfort would still be a motivation, like standing in the rain naked would still suck after a while, thus requiring cooperation and ingenuity also the need for love would still be there because without others we die of boredom.
