"Men are biologically programmed to inseminate as many pretty women as possible."

^^What do you think of the above statement? Is it true or false and why? Does it mean a challenge to traditional family structure? How can a man dissolve the internal conflict between the biological need to spread his genes in as broad area as possible and the social need to found a family and stick to them?

depends on the man.
some have sex as the only thing on their minds, others dont have it at all.

"A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle."

Becoming truer day by day. Biological imperatives are rapidly being made irrelevant.

Yes and no...

We all go through different stages in life...

Between 20-27 or so I took every opportunity I got with beautiful girls... And you get quit a lot as barkeeper and ski instructor.

However, after that I cooled down... Got more interested in trying to find something steady...

This last winter I didn't be with more than four of five girls, and since I have a GF now I only been with her since april :)

I'm sorry, I can't respond to this thread right now, I've got five more females to inseminate. I'll let you know once I'm done spreading my seed.

Just because you have the instinct doesn't mean that it has to control you.

On the other hand, why abstain from sex unless you are in a relationship?

Only the losers who makes 'em 'n runs after she bakes 'em. Real men just want the action but stick around when Spermy and Eggy actually meet for dinner.

The idiot biological father of my two girls is on family #3. He walked on my two, then two-years later walked out on another that was baking in the oven at the same time as he walked out on mine. Now he's getting married in a few weeks to another chick he knocked up. It's unbelieveable. And if you asked him he'd tell you he's an excellent father and role model.

I'd like to neuter him with my chainsaw in order to save future generations.

I knew a gal who used to work in Child Services... sadly, such behavior is quite rampant. However, in the US, Child Services don't mess around with these types... they'll make sure that they're constantly broke, and if they're not working to pay off debts, then the hammer really comes down. Can't force em' to work, but you can force em' onto the streets.

I think we have the impulse, but I don't think that's all we are.

Frankly, right now I'm so fed up with all the hassle and none of the success, (as in none EVER!), a monastery is becoming increasingly attractive.

When I was 19 or so, I tried my best to go through the entire female platoon in my training company. They were on the floor above us in the barracks. I got through about half. Looking back on it, I was pretty lucky that I didn't get one or more pregnant. I am in full agreement with the social rules of taking responsibility for any children you have a part in creating. Unrestricted insemination would soon become a disaster.

PS: Huzza! Avatars are back!

I think a basic misconception people have of evolution is that we evolved with some purpose, or evolved in some optimal way. Just because something would be the most effective at transmitting your genes doesn't mean we evolved to use that strategy. Biologically, men and women have sex drives, then eventually an urge to stay with a partner, then an urge to take care of their offspring. Ideally, we're a monogamous species. But usually we don't like each other enough to stick together.

People who make it a big deal to claim that men are biologically programmed to sleep around are usually using it as an excuse for cheating on their girlfriend.

Sex is vastly over-rated IMO, its the pereson you're with that makes it special. If it can't work without sex, then maybe it shouldn't work at all...

I dunno anymore.

Dissagree, sex is a vital oil to a male-female relationship. No sex either means sexual tension, or no attraction.

Neither is good, the first kills friendships, the second relationships.

I disagree, in the first case, you are correct, but the second I disagree.

I went out with a girl and while she is an attractive girl, I never wanted to do anything, I could barely make myself hold her hand on a date we went on.

Perhaps I am just not wise enough in the ways of the world yet.

So, you weren't attracted to her and you broke up? Doesn't that prove my point? She wasn't what you were looking for, part of which manifested as a lack of physical attraction.

"Men are biologically programmed to inseminate as many pretty women as possible."

Men are biologically programmed to breathe air as often as possible.

Men are biologically programmed to drink as many pretty fluids as possible.

Men are biologically programmed to eat as much pretty food as possible.

Are we slaves to our programming, or masters of it?

I like to think we co-exist.

I never said I am not sluty :)

I dont mean slut in a bad way... just that, I found, girls have wayyyy more sluty tendencies than most men give them credit for.

A note to people with reading disorders: I wrote that all girls are pretty much sluts, not that all girls are prostitutes.

Or in the words of... I forgot: "most girls would never dream about doing the things they dream about doing".

so on topic: YES men are biological sex machines, but so are girls.

That's why we as a race can have such a great sex-life :D

Ok, so you're saying girls are secretly more kinky than they would admit to in polite conversation? Same as men?

That's a no brainer, "slut" however means promiscuous, unfaithful, not all women are, some are, but plenty aren't.

Same as men.
