What if all men and women had the same sex drive as a typical 15 year old boy?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I dunno how this question popped into my head, but…

How would society be different, if we all wanted sex all the time, and were pretty much obsessed by sexual thoughts, for our entire lives? (Of couse, this is based on the fading memories of my own long ago adolescense.)

Would we ever have developed agrculture?

Animal husbandry? Ok, yes to that one… :stuck_out_tongue:

Would women be more free, or would they be chained up by jealous men even more than they have been?

Would the world be a better place because of fewer frustrated men wandering about?

“Until they caught him at it one day…”

3

Since all the men would be sleeping all the time, we would have a matriarchal society.

4

It’s possible there wouldn’t be any oil left for cars.

5

You would have the Middle Ages.

I’m not joking. Back then, everybody obsessed with sex all day long. Men couldn’t jack off (sin!) or have casual sex (sin, pregnancy, and social ruin). Every Sunday, the priest at the pulpit told you [del]not[/del] to obsess about sex, and have hot sweaty dreams about who, in your parish, might be accused of [del]having sweating hot monkey sex[/del] sinning and in what depraved way, with lots of details.

I should have thrown in that we weren’t all collectively having breakdowns over our sense of guilt for feeling the way we do.

7

What do you mean “if”?

8

Who says we don’t? We just learn to control it better, is all.

Ummm, I don’t think this is the case. While those were the theological rules of the day in much of Europe, I am hard-pressed to think that the majority of peasants obeyed them. Besides, forgiveness is free. Basically, a cite would be handy, as human nature IMO makes yours the more outrageous claim.

We’d be drinking Brawno

11

A lot more children, I would say a lot more happiness and Love in society.

12

well, to be fair, it does have electrolytes

13

Nothing would ever get done.

14

Less wars. Too much nookie available, so no need to go raid the neighbor village for women.

15

Perry Bible Fellowship sort of answered this.

16

Sorry I’n not getting this one.

Why not, where is all the oil gonna go?

17

Lube.

18

Hee…wouldn’t it just be easier to drastically cut the number of “cut” boys?

Uncut types dun need lube :wink:

ETA - and if you doing it right, with two of you no lube needed either…

19

There’d be a large increase in cheating, unwanted children, abortions, political and celebrity sex scandals, STDs, raunchy media (TV/movies/commercials), an expanded pornographic industry, etc.

Marginally. If a woman wants to cure herself of horniness a man is not usually the most desirable option unless he’s already been heavily vetted. The sex toy industry would be worth hundreds of billions, possibly trillions, in this scenario.

The world before the introduction of widespread birth control would be even uglier. Imagine the cities.

I don’t mean to threadshit, but I’m 40 now and haven’t really noticed a decrease in my sex drive.
