Questions No One asks about Human Sexuality
Here are a bunch of questions about human sexuality that no one wants to ask. Probably because the answers frighten everyone!
01: If men are genetically programmed to spread their seeds as wide as possible, why shouldn’t we expect women to be genetically programmed to collect as varied seeds as possible so that the best one wins?
02: If women have muted sexuality, or naturally monogamous, why did men have to build societies that so severely restricts women’s independence.
03: If families are economical units lead by man-the-provider, what is going to happen to the unit in a world where women have larger average income than men?
04: Many people who are alive today are likely to live beyond 100, and spend much of that life in their sexual prime. What will happen to marriage, monogamy and other conventional values?
05: Why do women reach their sexual prime in their late thirties, just when men start their downhill slide? Or why do men reach their sexual prime in late teens and early twenties, exactly when most women their age are unable to even get a decent orgasm?
06: While we believe that the clitoris is the only human organ built purely for pleasure, why doesn’t it occur to us that women may be selecting men for their pleasure giving ability?
07: If size doesn’t matter, why almost every man is perennially insecure about his size?
08: Why internet search terms describing male endowment is one of the most popular search terms by heterosexual men?
09: Why internet search terms, to everyone’s surprise, show that men stay very close to few selected porn preferences whereas a woman’s taste is all over the chart and varies largely from time to time.
10: While most women don’t enjoy visual porn as much as men, why are stories like 50 shades and slash stories are very popular with women folk?
11: In the social networking age where copying others has been taken to unheard of heights, and mate search has become lot easier, what is going to happen to people’s social and sexual life?
12: While it is becoming clear that power inequality between partners is a strongest aphrodisiac, what is going to happen to the equality movement?
13: Why is it that youngsters ridicule spiritual values that is so dear to people who are beyond their sexual prime? And the older people ridicule sex drive that determines almost every action of the youth?
14: While our values and priorities change with our age, why do we have our key social structures designed for the youthful mental state?
15: While attraction, attachment and sexual drives are three mutually independent faculties, why do we have a social structure that pins all three on a single individual.
Because we were prudes for several centuries now and never dared to ask some of the important questions, there is so much of clutter and misinformation out there. If these questions are answered honestly, the answers will move the ground from under our feet. I intend addressing all of them, supported by hard scientific data, neatly tucked into some innocuous-looking and academic-sounding posts!
However, this blog is not just about human sexuality. I happen to believe that our sexuality is a huge part of who we are and without understanding it, we will never know who we truly are. Also, without understanding our true self, we will never have a chance to be truly happy.
Since my blog is about all of human nature and not just about human sexuality, you will find the answers to these questions peppered in between several other topics that I believe are important in understanding human nature.
