Interesting theory. I don’t know whether we’re (as in humans, so both genders) biologically supposed to be promiscuous or not. There seems to be some evidence one way and some evidence another. I really don’t know.

You’re right about the huge testicles though. At the zoo not too long ago I saw the funniest chimps playing around, anyway one of them had absolutely massive balls, everybody commented on them. LO

I think we need a whole not more promiscuous women.

While I found this academic statement interesting. It is like comparing apples and oranges.

I’m very cautious about extrapolating from animal behaviour to our own.

People leap to the most amazing conclusions, often based on an extremely superficial understanding of the animal concerned. For example, it’s widely thought that soldier and worker bees and ants are males doing the bidding of a relentless queen. This bizarre misconception even appears in popular kids’ movies, which doesn’t do a lot to educate people.

But I digress! And indeed, the genetic similarities between us and chimps do seem to indicate a greater likelihood of useful parallels.

The most striking misconception (ha ha) in your question is the implication that there is a correlation between orgasm and fertilization. This has never been shown to be the case, in chimpanzees or humans.

Regarding reproductive control, the question is complicated. Species use various compensatory mechanisms to allow for conditions surrounding reproduction, but these are not generally thought to be subject to the conscious control of any species except homo sapiens.

Interesting concept, but too far removed from humanity at present. Chimps may be among our nearest cousins among other lifeforms, but that doesn’t make them us.

Actually the reverse is true. Men are the ones with the biological imperative to "spread their seed," in an effort to make sure that their DNA is passed down to the next generation. A woman, since her ability to have children is much more limited (I’m talking straight numbers here, since men could potentially have hundreds of kids) is more selective in who she sleeps with and it is her biological imperative to select a mate with the features she wants to pass on to her children.

I’m going to have to agree with Wica. I do understand your point.

I think all promiscuous behavior is wrong. Sex should be seen as an expression of deep love and commitment. I find male and female promiscuous behavior to be abhorrent and a result of either genetic defect/ genetic mutation or genetic material that has outlived it’s use fullness.

There are several genetic studies of promiscuous behavior in males though. Because feminist’s control society they won’t allow similar studies on female promiscuous behavior.

And given the 20-30% paternity fraud rate in western civilization I think genetics might play a role and if it is genetics those without the promiscuous gene have a right to know if there prospective partner has the gene or not.

exactly women and men are the same when it domes to sex but some have been repressed by messed up societal views and religion. I have been saying this all along the women and men are the same about sex where I am.
