Ahhh Of Mice and Men
What does that have to do with marriage? I dunno really. What does it have to do with sex? I dunno that either really. But, I did find this funky little article on MSNBC about just that. It discusses science and the search for truth.
So, anyway, in the article, they discuss sexploration and review the recent scientific literature and advice on getting information from animals and making relate directly to people. So, here’s what the article had to offer by way of learning…
1. Do not turn sex into warfare. Ok, so "sexual conflict is ubiquitous across taxa" and I have to be honest with you, I have no clue what that means. Basically biologist studied Trinidadian guppies and found "male sexual harassment drives females into habitats that they otherwise do not prefer to occupy". They relate that to all-female gyms and the Lifetime Channel. Ok, whatever.
2. Avoid weaponizing your penis. Hummmmm now this one caught my attention right away, what the heck is this suppose to mean. "The spectacular evolution of male genitalia that impose physical injury on females during mating has often been suggested to be a product of sexually antagonistic co-evolution" is what a Swedish scientist had to say. So, obviously, they say that females are reluctant to mate with males wielding pain-inducing penises. This supposedly creates a risk of extinction. Well, yea being afraid is one thing but being so afraid that it takes you to extinction, that’s a bit out there I think.
3. Try woman-on-top. This basically says that all men should take a lesson from the Mexican experiment showing that "when female rats are allowed to pace (control) the rate of sexual stimulation they receive…the aversive properties of mating are reduced.
Ok, I can only take so much of this, I’ll feed you some more tomorrow because this is killing me.
