There’s ALWAYS some evolutionary reason for these seemingly inexplicable “natural selection” inequities and it ALWAYS has to do with better ensuring survival of the fittest over time. The above theory atleast addresses this paradox: “The above explanation tries to make sense of this phenomenon by assuming that the female incapacity for vaginal orgasms with men with penises of an average size has been developed in the course of evolution in order to make sure that the females of the human species will seek out sexual relationships with alpha males (large penises) in spite of being bonded to lesser males (average penises).”
You can see how this would better ensure survival of the species, because this female desire for a ‘big penis’ helps to ensure that superior genes do the reproducing. Fooling the “inferior male” ensures that these “genetically superior” offspring get provided for financially and emotionally and therefore survive. Even if these programmed motivators only actually affects 1 in 10 relationships - that is VERY significant over the course of time (millions and millions of years). These programmed “drivers” ensure that reproduction TRENDS towards survival of the fittest.
There are a lot of similar theories out there. I appreciate them because they do help to provide some “method for the madness”. :D
All of “these theories” make very serious unproven, and false, assumptions.
On such assumption is that women’s response to sexual stimulation has remained constant over those “millions and millions of years”. That assumption has been demonstrated to be false. Zaneblue’s diet clearly demonstrates that the level of women’s orgasmic response is dependent at least upon diet. Her diet has also shown that the level of response can change in a small fraction of a lifetime, let alone millions and millions of years.
[:-Y So Zaneblue, had you realized that your diet had significant implications for some of the basic assumptions of anthropology? :) Maybe someone would be interested in funding a study for that purpose. :) ]
Further, “those theories” don’t even explore the question of why the pre- Homo Sapien females are having unforced sex at all when most of the time those women are not experiencing orgasm. In current times men usually have to actually put effort into trying to make sex enjoyable for a woman.
Over “millions and millions of years” we have to look at what the actions, and reactions, are of those pre- Homo Sapien beings that are, almost certainly, ruled much more by their baser animal urges than we are today. Thus, to a large extent, if the action was not providing direct positive reinforcement (e.g. orgasm), why was it being performed?
Another example of an unproven assumption is that such theories assume that both penis size, and distribution of penis size, have remained more or less constant over that period of time. There has been discussion in other threads that indicates there may have been a general change in penis size within living memory (i.e. < 100 years).
Another: They assume that penis size is completely dependent on genetics. The existence of PE absolutely demonstrates that this assumption is false.
I do not have the time to go into this in the detail that this deserves. It also leads into topics I am not yet prepared to begin to cover. Thus I will stop here.
To a large extent, you appear to be relying on the “theories” presented by people that gain a financial benefit from convincing others to think a certain way about this subject. Relying on the statements of such people is rarely a good idea.
