Men - biological sex machines

[PowerWizard]

"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?

[Hooahguy]

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

[KukriKhan]

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

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

[Kadagar_AV]

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 :)

[Lemur]

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.

[Lord Winter]

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

[Kadagar_AV]

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

[Beefy187]

We are getting concerned about more and more men afraid to get into relationship, or try sex over here in Japan. Some even declared to stay virgin for their whole life.

Scientists are saying that at current rate, men will lose their function of inseminating, and women will have to adopt ways to give birth without mens help.

Soon, everyone will be a girl

Not if I have anythang to do wif it.

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

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.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

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.

With some of the material that comes out of Japan, there are possible reasons for this.

[Samurai Waki]

hmmmm.... and then in the year 2149 the Robot Penis became widespread amongst the One Gender to give purpose to a singularity.

Survival strategy.

Is it better to have 5 with a 20% chance of survival or 3 with an 80%. The wining strategy gets the most genes to the next generation. But the strategies aren't hard wired in, because the environment isn't static.

Nor is it just about the next generation, but setting up for generations. Those with the longest view do the best ultimately in most situations.

Sleeping around is not uncommon, but it isn't as common as families. Given that families take more time and resources one has to assume that the payoff is greater. That and then social tit for tat, more succinctly stated as "Sure you can date my daughter, but I'm watching you." Communities that trust and look after each other do better.

A lot of this though is null and void in a society that has the government as the main bread winner for some neo-nuclear families. When the bread comes from someone who isn't the parent, then a lot of parents shirk the responsibility back to society. This is sustainable on a small scale. But how great are those kids/families/neighbourhoods that in mass.

Far better when either the biological father or a role model steps up to the plate to be daddy.

Also got to remember it just ain't genes anymore its memes too.

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.

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.

[pevergreen]

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.

[Kadagar_AV]

I guess he meant he was too attracted to her, and set her on some mental piedestal...

It's common among people with little or no sexual experience. Once you reach a 2 digit number you realise all girls are pretty much sluts, so no need to treat them like some divine being... in fact, if you do, you will lose out on that girl.

So, you sleep around with 10+ girls and the girls are the sluts?

[KukriKhan]

nvm. Covered by previous poster.

More likely just no chemestry. I've seen it in young men, they find women that are good propositions, but whom they are not actually attracted to.

All women are not sluts, some are promiscuous, others are actually chaste. Sorry to tell you this, some people never reach a two-digit number. I know from past conversations you find this hard to believe, but not everyone has the same attitude to sex.

You forgot to insult jungle people too...

It would be great if we could maintain a certain standard and dignity in this thread.

Thanks

Self control applies in these situations just like any other ones. What ever our biological tasks are. It is up to our own judgement what we do or not and live with the consequences of our decesions.

"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?
