I just finished today a book I found at the library by accident, a book called 'Why Is Sex Fun? - The Evolution of Human Sexuality' by Jared Diamond. Worthy of reading for all. The book explains the development of different aspects of human sexuality through examples from the fauna. Itis explicitly concentrating on straights but it's fun to read anyway. Diamond deals with sexual issues such as women's menopause (only one whale species is another mammal the females of which have menopause), women's concealed ovulation (compare ovulation tests with the strikingly red vulva of an ovulating bonobo) and the purpose of men. All of you who have been following my previous entries can easily guess which chapter is my personal favourite. Yes, the chapter about the evolutionary purpose of men. Diamond cannot deny - mainly confirms - what I've been saying all along: the sole purpose of men is to function as a factory and a storage to sperm, and considering the energy required to build a human being genetically, to give birth to it, nurse it and take care of it until it is fit to look after itself (that is longer than any other species), Mother Nature's storage is highly uneconomic. Why build such a complex for such a simple job? It would be so much more useful is women were naturally hermaphrodites, like a certain lizard species.
Oh, and men: Diamond also dealt with the penis. He concluded that it is a product of an comparisatory process whose purpose is to boost one's ego. According to Diamond, most women find the penis ugly (Amen to that!!!). Reminds me of the headline of Iltalehti (or Ilta-Sanomat) saying that most [straight, ed. note] women do not have an orgasm during sex. Gee, I wonder who MAN figured that one out. Seriously, is it any wonder? The intercourse of an average male lasts for four minutes (thanks to Diamond for this bit of information as well). Add the poor knowledge men have -or care to have- about women and female sexuality, is it really a newsflash to someone else than men??? The only way for a woman to have an orgasm in four minutes is by another woman. Men can fuck off and let the experts do the job, they should have enough to do by concentrating on each other or their hands.
