  • In the animal kingdom, sex often involves more conflict than cooperation. The struggle between males and females leads to a host of weird adaptations, from chastity belts to anti-aphrodisiacs.

      Palider they pretty much did. since the males are always DTF and the female can remove the sperm. she could fuck a few to find out which is the most suitable by her standards and go back to her main choice and not reject his sperm.

      @TessaBain 8 лет назад +6

      +Lara Orane On a small scale yes, but not the bigger picture.
      Problem is you can't really judge genetics based on what you think you know about people.
      It ultimately means that men may produce a lot of lesser quality children but they're also much more likely to create quality ones because it's in quantity.
      If there are 10 people with great genetics in 100 people someone can choose from and they only choose one of the hundred, they're far less likely to hit one of those 10 than someone else who chooses 25 of the hundred.
      And even if the first person does happen to get one of those ten, the one who chose 25 may very well have gotten all of the 10.

    I really disagree with showing ducks of all animals and using the word "cooperative" in the same scene. Does the creator realize how ducks reproduce? It's sadly thru forced copulation. I'm pretty sure female ducks don't cooperate -- especially when they are often chased by several males, all forcing the same thing. Female ducks have been hazed near to the point of death -- sadly I've seen this with my own eyes...
    Also... Maybe a warning that your showing animal genitals. I didn't ask to see a duck penis in the past... Nor today.

    • @Primalxbeast
      @Primalxbeast 8 лет назад +3

      +Crux161 That was just leading into an explanation of how it more competitive than cooperative. "in ONE sense mating is cooperative, BUT"... and then goes on to explain why it mostly isn't. Are you genetically predisposed to be so stupid or were you dropped on your head too many times as a child? And if you're so terribly triggered by seeing animal's dicks, don't click on videos about animal reproduction.

    These two things are presented as an explanatory factor, while they're most likely a result of the factors that are stated two seconds earlier respectively (males mass produce sperm => they don't have to care about their offsprings, going after other females increases the chances of having many of them ; females have few eggs => hence the need to take care of the offsprings these eggs produce)

    Rape is natural in the animal kingdom of course. But we are humans, its different.
    Why? because rape in the animal kingdom is to ensure the survival of a species in harsh conditions but for humans there's no need since we are successful and growing. 2nd females being raped and then getting pregnant will most likely abort the baby or have miscarriage from Depression and PTSD. So remember rape is unnecessary for the human species and baby survival rate is low. Unless you are going to be those bearded man who kidnap woman's and rape and pregnant them then, lock them all up in the basement, then we'll have a new episode of criminal minds.

    But the ring has lost power as marriage can be broken now. And people don't understand that they have to understand and try to help their partner in their weaknesses and motivate them in the language most familiar for them. But also accept the help that their given. And three things more important for a marriage is to know him/her as a best friend since that way you will be able to realize when he's at the lowest or the highest. The second thing is for you two to try your best to make it and never try to get your partner jealous, guilty or confused as that will rip the relationship. And lastly comunicate and listen but keep him/her and yourself in the limits that you have starting with yourself. But what do I really know, I have only seen from outside bad and good marriages.

    Humans are and always have been serial monogamists. It takes so much energy to raise a human child that you need BOTH parents to take care of it, for aproximately 3-4 years. That is not coincidentally the amount of time being in love lasts, unless you have another child. And in nature, 3-4 years is the exact interval between children, due to lower amounts of (fatty) food and prolonged lactation. It is not uncommon that a couple develops a bond that will outlast that amount of time. Polygamy also happens, but it is not the winning strategy for our species it seems, as it is much more uncommon in our genetic behavior. Different individuals do have different strategies within a same species, and oftentimes they can be inferred from their appearance! Look up White-throated Sparrows and Common Side-blotched lizards for fascinating examples.

    The "male" strategy described sounds extremely primitive in a modern day context. Who's children are more likely to survive? A man who impregnates 40 different women and doesn't make an effort to take care of any of their kids, or a man who focuses on taking care of two or three children? And I don't think the genes of your kids will matter that much if they're on the street begging for money. Not to mention, abandoning a woman and forcing her to take care of your child is nothing but selfish.

      +Pikalolz They don't have to live to be successful, they just have to live. If you can manage to avoid child-support authorities, going from town to town knocking up as many women you could, would be EXTREMELY evolutionary successful. That is, provided the women in question care about their children enough to try and raise/protect them at all costs. Barring abortion, MOST women do just that even when economic pressures are high. All of this is AMPLIFIED by the effects of modern welfare states, who've made commitments to provide for ALL children.

    I don't think the institution of marriage is necessarily reducible in the way you described. I will admit that part of it is indeed a form of branding but ever since romanticism turned marriage into an act of love marriage has become a symbolic display of ultimate affection.
    Some married couples are swingers, but the ring means no matter who's doing the having of the sex, there's a more meaningful connection between two human beings at play in the relationship that involves rings. It's less a sign of possession and more a symbol of understanding and a prioritisation of the relationship above almost every other relationship save that which exists between parent and child.
    Does it always work out that way? No, but the romantic element does make it something that can't be reduced to sexual branding.

    • @sciwiz12
      @sciwiz12 8 лет назад

      +fuckoff5311 I disagree. Sex is associated with love certainly but different folk have different... predilections. Wanting to share your freaky inclinations with your significant other can be quite affectionate as a bonding experience even if that freakiness involves another person or other people.
      Besides which there are many kinds of love and it is possible to admire, to desire, etc... and still lust after other attractive people. Some people are able to compartmentalize in that way.

    • @sciwiz12
      @sciwiz12 8 лет назад

      ***** Call me what you want, I don't particularly care nor do I have a significant other at the moment anyway, nor am I particularly interested in acquiring one.
      Also did you mean polyamorous? Loving many people? At any rate I disagree that being polyamorous necessarily makes you a feminised weak bitch. Surely if a man made love to many women you would not say he is necessarily fiminised nor weak nor a bitch, though he might be. Nor if a man has a fetish for watching his lover get fucked and creampied by other men is he prevented in any way from being stoic, resilient, proud, and all other qualities that make a man not strong masculine and not a bitch.
      I suppose your view is somewhat narrowed by virtue of your inability to think beyond certain stereotypes. When you think of men who share their women you append all manner of other characteristics that seem to you to be statistically linked but are in reality not causally related and therefore not necessarily entailed.
      Then too you don't seem like a particularly reasonable fellow so if you are bent on being pugnacious be my guest. I see no point in trying to persuade one so quick to insult. It simply isn't conducive to reasoned arguments. I doubt if you could comprehend the merits of my position but rather you would simply scoff at any view that differs from your own. How typical.
