I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There's no biological reason for why that can't happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You'd be less exposed to predators etc

The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it's a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

so that means sex with neighbors should be acceptable? if true I have some great news for my ex!

The world would be a far far better place if we were all just horny, depraved, sluts

Puritanical movements are historically a social response to widespread sexually transmitted illnesses

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Really? Which ones? Syphillis came from the colombian exchange, are puritans a response to that one?

It's an overly broad statement tbh as these things are always a confluence of social pressures but yes, there's a decent amount of scholarship specifically on that, public responses to the AIDs crisis both in the 80's and in areas still suffering from it, the rise and fall of classical Bacchanalian-type cults, etc.

Well except STDs. But you go have fun.

Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

Actually there is afaik a biological reason: Take it with a grain of salt,though - It's a long time since I attended these lectures. The repeated insertion increases the need for lubrication(which increases sperm transport after ejaculations) and making sure the vaginal canal is opened fully.

Again, it's a long time ago I had that lecture and it might not be up-to-date,so someone please confirm this.

Comment contains content that some may find disturbing, click to revealIt can also prevent ineffective, outcast, or weaker specimens from mating. If a woman could be impregnated in very few seconds consistently then the number of teen or child pregnancies as well as pregnancies resulting from rape would all increase dramatically. Some similar evolutions occured in Wolves, the wolves genitals are stuck together after reproduction and if an outcast attempts to mate he will be trapped and ripped to shreds.

Lots of animals unironically do this.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 71 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't call me an animal, but yes.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

Drop on the deck and flop like a fish?

Return to the hatchery from where you were born to be ripped apart for meat?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I mean... It could but you have to have pretty good control over the muscles in your vagina so the dick can do its thing.

That's basically how dogs work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 5 days ago

Had that kind of activity with a woman with very impressive muscle control once, it was very interesting.
