Who's your daddy?

I’ve just bumped into the Screaming Jay Hawkins news… the guy who appears to have fathered at least 57 children but maybe 75+ during his lifetime.
14 different women per day at his peak… every day!
Over his lifetime, the statistics are mind-boggling with a self-confessed total of 1000s of relationships.
It seems that many more people are now claiming that he is their father via a website dedicated to tracing his heirs. http://www.jayskids.com
Lots more of us could be his children without realising it!
What’s the deal… is this level of sexual prowess, appetite or drive (or whatever you want to call it) natural or is it some sort of illness?
I’m puzzled… did I get a full dose of testosterone when it was being shared out or did he get double-helpings? :confused:

Sounds like he’s at the extreme edge of the fecundity curve. Assuming he’s legit… and we have no way of knowing for sure without DNA testing… it’s certainly possible that someone could be that prolific at their peak. Fathering 57 kids is no big deal since you can easily imagine one successful fertilization per week for a year if you could find enough willing females… that’s 52 right there. It’s the 14 times per day that sounds unusual… but there are certainly people out there who can perform 5-10 times per day so 14 doesn’t sound that out of the question!

Whatever “it” is that Screaming Jay Hawkins has which makes women want to get pregnant with him … if “it’s” genetic, around half of his 54 kids will inherit “it” from him.

I could see such a gene sweeping to fixation through the human population in just a few generations…
