penis size and natural selection

[grandunification]

I found this article by an evolutionary biologist. Notice the part about the future of human penis size.

Human race will 'split into two different species' | the Daily Mail

This would indicate that women are evolutionarily programmed to select men with larger penises causing it to develop in size over time. Finally, a scientific answer to the age long question: "does size matter?".

Pffftt! Any size queen or man with a smaller than average penis could have told you that.

If a "top scientist" says it, it must be true.

I'm not too sure this hasn't already happened to some degree. Especially with intelligence...

All the new technology that is going to make us lazy and fat will probably give us more time on our hands to do more activities. Things are getting smaller and the need to be sedentary to use the internet etc. will be avoided.

Someday, someone will invent a cyborg stud who will have a 15"x8" cock and be able to last until a woman orgasms into a coma! Or Real doll style android females that will suck men's balls dry.

To compete with this technology, humans will have to start looking after themselves, technology won't ever be able to replicate human sexiness.

I can't see how the majority of the population will end up looking like today's computer nurds, they aren't the most successful of breeders!

Altogether it sounds nasty.

I'm not sure how 'scientific' it really is. The author is Oliver Curry, and 'what has been represented as important “new research” is in fact just a rather fanciful essay from a political theorist at LSE, and while it’s not ridiculous, there’s quite a lot to take issue with in the science'

Here's a critique and an antidote:
Bad Science » All men will have big willies

Having said that, there may be some basis for your remark:

...

If you take the example of African men (or SOME African men) and accept as a posit that they do indeed have larger penises, it's interesting to speculate that this may have arisen out of two conditions:

1) A longstanding culture where nudity is the norm, and where penises are habitually and widely on display

2) A longstanding culture in which women have a large say in selecting their sexual partners, for hundreds of generations.

Both of these conditions obtain in some very old African cultures (eg the Nuba) and it is interesting to note that the men appear spectacularly well hung!


That, in any case, is my potted theory!

 

[Make'nItLong]

Interesting theory...

 

[sexplease]

here's one for you.

natural selection is being over-ruled by c-sections. large babies occasionally die in child birth (along with the mother) but not now, thanks to modern medicine.
ouch

 

[Elastic]

WHere does it say natural selection will do this. It says more cosmetic surgery and body modification will do it.

This doesn't seem plausible, how many times have you seen a smoking hot chick with some ugly troll guy just because he has money.

Plus within 1-2 hundred years I think that humans will be genetically engineered anyway to remove birth defects.

 

[chesz001]

hmm..i dont think w'ere all gonna look like that gorilla..hahaha

 

[thickgirth]

Hmmm.....maybe women nowadays want a big dicked toyboy. But when it comes to reproduction other preference selections are made by women, such as same or higher level of education, same or more intelligence, etc. etc.

That just tells you that money is more important than men.

We should start cloning younger, or cloning porn stars, grow them over time in a large tube , and when we get old, transplant out brains into our or the porn star clones. I will base my life to achieve this possibility.

and to some degree penis size. other articles explain that men already have fairly large penises for our size compared to other species, and that those that are "endowed" have more sex and father more children, passing on those genes.
