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

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 month ago (17 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month 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.

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

Huh... This whole time I've just been using my tongue.

They do be shaped the way that they are

Ducks have a screw, cats have barbs, dogs have like, a stopper that blocks other humpers.

There's some thought that this is also the reason for the shape of the human penis

Which really makes you think, shouldn't longer-penised individuals have an reproductive advantage over short-penised people? Longer penises can scoop deeper in the couchhole to get out other people's jizz. Why hasn't the human race evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We kind of have. Human penises are waaaay bigger than those of other primate species, and many other mammals (relative to overall body size).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Poor, poor gorillas, they never stood a chance.

Oh dear, no one tell him he got the short end of the genes..

Joking, of course.

I would assume penises didn’t need to evolve to be that long on average since vaginas are not that deep on average? So there would only be so much depth to reach in the first place. Possibly girth would also affect it - having a long noodle dick might mean no matter how deep you go, the penis might not be wide enough to effectively “scoop” it out.

Again assuming, but after a certain length (bottoming out), width would become more important

VANCE!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The longer the penis, the larger the fraction of women who will find sex with that person painful, and at some point the reproductive advantage of scooping out others' semen will be nullified due to the fact that no woman wants to sleep with you. I think I read that four inches is the length that most women find comfortable, but I don't remember where I read it.

[–] Kecessa 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Four? 😐 That's under average!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Average size != average comfort level

in penis

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And I was having such a good day too. Why would you do this to me?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

What's wrong? Did you want your lady dragonflies to be filled with someone else's jizz?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I learned about this from a book I really enjoyed called Nature's Nether Regions. The part about spiders was pretty weird as well.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Soo... They share jizz? I mean, what else would you do with a flying shovel penis?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Interesting. Yet another thing I didn't need to know, but interesting regardless.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I adore that they make a little heart shape

What WOULDN'T you do with such a marvel?? 😂
