This implies that there's some sort of evolutionary advantage to getting sloppy seconds. I don't know how I feel about that.

Well, do you think women consent was at thing back in the early days of homo sapiens?

16

Yes I do. Do I think every sex was consensual? No. Do I think at least 1% of women had at one point consented to sex? Yes.

Polyamory is the word you're looking for polygamy assumes marriage

If you meant a man had several female partners, you had the right word. Polyamory doesn't care whether the person in charge is male or female. Polygamy means a man had many women

i mean yeah, if your tribe goes around raping other tribes' women that's going to get everyone you know and love put on the "kill on sight" list.

bro 7 months is fucking nothing on the internet, people reply to 7 year old comments all the time. This is a forum not a chat

Sorry bro but this is a Reddit like platform, not an old school forum, people don't care about 7 months old posts... Hell they don't care about a 2 days old post.

Ok what’s happening, it’s the second reply to this 7 months old comment that I get this week

and yet you had to say this, so clearly people do care about old posts, and you're the odd one out.

Consider that one of our two closest ape relatives is the bonobo. They settle arguments with head jobs, ask for favours the same way

We're clearly not as bad as ducks

If being gay (not bi) is so obviously an evolutionary disadvantage, how does it exist in humans and animals in statistically significant numbers?

Turns out there may be more to this evolution thing than 'first past the post'. Non-reproductive members of a species can help other members of the species to survive.
Essentially it's not about getting "my genes" into the next generation, it's really about getting the genes of "my species" into the next generation, and beyond.

It doesn't matter how long you live if you have no offspring. It feels like, statistically, gay people really shouldn't exist. Yet here we are.

We are animals, monogamy is not a part of humanity like it is in penguins.
Our penises reshaped over millenia of orgies just to get all the other guys cum out. We are sluts of the animal world, like rabbits

when you realize this it makes a lot more sense how fucked up the world is, of course everyone's going to be miserable when they're evolved to have sex at least 3 times per day with 5 different people and yet things look like they do!

I think it says we're better off than other animals. Human women would fuck multiple men, the men competed to have better dicks for extracting his cum and replace it with yours

Other animals fought for the chance to mate, it seemed like humans shared

1

i mean yeah evolutionarily we have a better setup, but i'm talking about how things are right now.
right now most people are constantly stressed out and feeling like absolute dogshit, and it's no wonder when we're all so miserably isolated. Humans are absurdly social creatures, we need contact to survive, and yet society is built in a way that makes it extremely difficult.

1

It implies that there were enough guys getting sloppy seconds for dick shape to give a reproductive advantage.

While it could have been from a lot of free love in the ancient past, I suspect it's more likely much darker than that and the evolution of cuckolds is intertwined.

I wasn't equating women with anything, nor making any sort of generalization. If that's what you saw in that, that's on you.

Female human here. I've honestly always just read it literally, a person having sex second in a multiple partner scenario, and it being sloppy down there for all involved. There's just as much guy in the statement as there is girl, doesn't seem all that problematic to me.

Second human woman here, I concur. I always just thought that term implied the...goopiness of the act itself in a humorous way

Which really makes you think, shouldn't longer-penised individuals have an reproductive advantage over short-penised people? Longer penises can scoop deeper in the couchhole to get out other people's jizz. Why hasn't the human race evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?

24
lemmy.ca

We kind of have. Human penises are waaaay bigger than those of other primate species, and many other mammals (relative to overall body size).

40

Gorillas consider large penises a sign of barbarism. When's the last time you heard of a gorilla killing someone?

A human?

Think about it. /s... Unless?

2

Why hasn't humanity evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?

Oh dear, no one tell him he got the short end of the genes..

Joking, of course.

I would assume penises didn’t need to evolve to be that long on average since vaginas are not that deep on average? So there would only be so much depth to reach in the first place. Possibly girth would also affect it - having a long noodle dick might mean no matter how deep you go, the penis might not be wide enough to effectively “scoop” it out.

Again assuming, but after a certain length (bottoming out), width would become more important

The longer the penis, the larger the fraction of women who will find sex with that person painful, and at some point the reproductive advantage of scooping out others' semen will be nullified due to the fact that no woman wants to sleep with you. I think I read that four inches is the length that most women find comfortable, but I don't remember where I read it.

Wouldn't an evolutionary advantage tend to make it equal?

1

I'm pretty sure I read 8 as the average preferred length, but I'm sure we're both biased in what we read so I have no idea really. All I have is personal experience that tell me it's well above 4, but also everyone I've slept with has been generally aware of my size beforehand, so it's got a large self-selection bias.

Long dicks hurt shallow vagina girls. You want a dick that exactly fits your girl

Girls you hurt aren't going to be willing to fuck you in future
