its theorized that's why human penises are also shaped the way they are

[-] Technus@lemmy.zip 65 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago

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.

nah poligamy were just the norm

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

However "-amory" implies romantic relationships. We're talking sexual interactions, not love.

When discussing animal social behaviours, "polygamy" is used.

oh, i didn't knew that thanks

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

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.

Oh, so that's why it's such a turn on, it's evolutionary advantage!

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!

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

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.
