I notice that you haven’t refuted my theory that men can only orgasm through PIV sex and all of our other orifices, and the palms of our hands, are covered in stinging barbs.

That explains SO much about my love life. And to think I never noticed until SFG pointed it out.

What if you’re a masochist and the stinging sensation \*gives \*you an orgasm? Hmm? What then, smart guy!

Impossible. That would lead men to have less sex with women, which means fewer babies, which means it can never happen in nature. Q.E.D.

Also, not a dude.

Right, I forgot how simple and linear evolutionary biology is! Silly me.

Actually, I knew that, so I’m not sure why I wrote ‘smart guy’. Can we settle on ‘smartypants’ instead?

Wouldn’t they get caught on the barbs?

I feel like someone needs to make a comment about venomous ovipositors next, for some reason.

I actually am wearing pants. Right now. Scandalous!

No, no, no, the barbs are \*inside \*the orifices. What are you, some kind of virgin who’s never seen asshole barbs before? Ugh.

Pardon me if this is redundant, I didn’t read the whole thread.

Also, 'scuse me while I whip this out:

Hunter-gatherers don’t place a high priority on reproduction, because a woman _has_ to nurse for four years, due to the diet H/G people obtain. Hunter-gatherers basically work to stay in positive caloric balance. If a woman is nursing, and she has another child, she may have to abandon the newborn, because nursing two would cause her to starve to death in many cases.  
H/G populations usually remain in balance, reproducing enough for replacement value only. This may be because the few left are confined to the parts of the world that the agriculturists either didn’t want or haven’t taken over yet, but we can probably assume H/G peoples did not reproduce successfully very much beyond replacement value when they were universal.

The above from my cultural anthroplogy class.

This from me:  
What I expect is that homosexuality became taboo at the same time as agriculture came about. Because agriculture requires lots of free laborers-er, children-to work the fields.  
We are known to have started being agriculturists about 10k years ago. I actually suspect that it started earlier than that, but we either haven’t found the evidence yet, or the evidence wasn’t preserved.

So, homosexuals would have contributed to overall group survival in H/G societies by either hunting or gathering, but not adding to the pool of children needing to be fed. So, they still would have helped contribute to overall group survival-and remember, we ARE a pack (societal) species. Their genes would still go on _in the genes of the other members_ because this IS a family group we’re talking about here. So, the genetic predisposition to gayness would not be selected against.

It’s only when we all adopted agriculture that gay people’s lack of fecundity became a problem.

Well, he got his hand smacked in the GD thread. Maybe he’s off crying to his mommy about how mean we are to him.

In fact, he got his hand smacked three times in GD, in three different threads:

Man, I didn’t realize he was a jackass all the time - I assumed this was a personal hot-button issue for him. It’s unfortunate because it’s clear that discussions with him could potentially be interesting, but he has to argue like an asshole all the time. Oh well.
