Think it was the "Unhung Hero" docu, but it posed the idea that human populations with the smaller penis size averages, are the populations where monogamy is more common. That a large(r) penis is just for show/to attract the females, like a peacocks plumage.
Though I do question why primates like Chimpanzees have small penises for primates (we're huge by comparison to other primates), when they're supposed to be extremely poly.
Originally posted by RobtardI prefer the theory that Man evolved larger dicks to better scoop out the semen of their rivals.

I thought that was the theory behind why the head of a dick is wedge shaped and bigger than the shaft.
It's kind of an idiotic theory either way. Even if you were to throw a dude off a chick seconds after he blew his load and rammed your shit in there and started scooping like a mad man, it'd already be too late. Once the jizz reaches the womb it's all over brah.
In other news, I had waffles with blueberry syrup for breakfast this morning.

While I am a fan of it, polyamory does not seem very common in humans. Most common is probably serial monogamy, plus recreational sex (hookups or "cheating"😉.
Yes, polyamory is not the correct word. Polysexual was already taken. Monogamy is not correct, either.
It is a word that does not mean concurrent relationships like polyamory, it means polysexual in a direct root word understanding (but not the actual use of polysexual), and it does not mean monogamy.
All in favor of calling this type of sexual relationships, "Serial Monogamy", say "aye."
Edit -I should note that humans are poly-lots-of-sex-with-different-partners, down to our roots. They figured this out by analyzing our DNA and discovered that each mother had, on average, at least 2 partners. Meaning, two baby-daddys. lol It was initially 11 which is clearly impossible...so they redid the stuff and got a number between 2 and 3. This would mean, fundamentally, that we are not monogamous. Reading an online article, they liked the label "monogamous-ish."

The testes size also has to do with it. Because of the competition between males in highly sexual animals, they need bigger testes to make more sperm to increase the chance of getting a female pregnant.
This hypersexuality is not seen as much in humans but we are still relatively competitive which is why we still have "vestiges" of our super-sexual behaviors.
Perhaps our penis shape indicates we become more competitive in other ways and no longer needed giant balls with lots of leydig cells to make more sperm. Instead, our penis shape is another way to ensure impregnation?
To me, that's gross....getting seconds and your penis assists in removing the sperm from the previous male. 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘

Oh really? I looked and could not find the correct term.
Edit - Yup, that's the word. But humans are not strictly serial monogamists. We are...well, some are polyamorous, some are polygamous, some are polyandrist, and some are hypersexual. I think the best terms for humans would really be, "Sexual." Because we like to have lots of sex with lots of people in various ways. And we don't even limit our sex to each other...sometimes, we make the sex with inanimate objects or animals. Humans just **** the shit out of everything, really.
