Do you not think that this would be more applicable within another sub-forum?

Oh yes i guess you mean the "homo sapiens larger than necessary penis may have evolved through natural selection" sub-forum ?

I am sorry if I in any way offended you by posting it here. I hope that you after all are able to go on with your day as planned.

Yeah you'd think science had better things to do. Guess penis size is more important than you know everything else on this planet.

Also funny how all of these things always equate to. Oh you have an opinion ladies? Ha no you don't, we'll tell you what your opinion and preferences are. Cause ya have no brain.

by sexual selection (literally)? lol.. it's possible.

i don't know what they mean by larger than necessary though. some women's vaginas can stretch to fit exactly a nine inch cock.

How is the study bs? It's simply surmising how (I guess) mitochorndrial Eve and her ilk chose their mates, and why thus large cocks exist today.

Scientific studies don't identify how YOU think - of course unless you are a subject in the study. They're not telling anything about you, merely attempting to observe a small sample to hopefully get a better understanding of the whole.

Agreed, if this makes it through the peer review process I'll be astonished, I can draw holes between the proposed hypothesis according to the article and their methods in testing modern women.:rolleyes:

Necessary length = long enough to inject male gametes to fertilize the female gametes. As long as the penis goes "in" you can do that.


One thing interesting was the mention of being able to see penises because of walking upright. Something that has never crossed my mind before. Hmmm

Not mention that they only studied Australians and everyone knows how cock obsessed they are. So it can't really be applicable for the rest of us.

regression to the mean would pretty much counteract it. that's why although people with a lower IQ have more children on average, the average IQ of the whole population does not decrease.
furthermore a big part of the prehistoric reproduction might have been not as consensual as one might think.
after all this study is a theory with not that much empirical fundamentals.
baloney I'd say.

Why would a scientist spend time on a penis study? Unless he's a guy, of course, then it's perfectly understandable.
