The sentient bowtie is confused by the presence of a robot parade leader?

Then again, if sleeping with a dude -feels nice-, you'll probably do it more? And hey presto, one of those future times you get knocked up. So there's a bit of evolutionary pressure.

This. I've never understood the argument that female orgasm is an evolutionary fluke. Motivation is motivation, even if it's not strictly necessary to the process.

Don't do drugs kids. Don't ever do drugs. Just ... Ouch.

I don't think it's NSFW because it doesn't have any images, but the words in the link above make it pretty much all right there on the label.

The only word I needed to see was Ypsilanti. That fucking place, I swear.

Indeed. Shit happens in Ypsi.

Well, what did you expect from a place named like something from a bad sci-fi?

We had a prime minister of one of our states wh was called Ypsilanti. She didn't last long.

Yeah... there's more to it*, but at least part of the reason it's likely an evolutionary fluke -- or, more precisely, exists in ladies because the physiological reaction is incredibly strongly selected for in fella's, kinda' like the whole nipple thing in reverse -- is... well, you realize that something like a third of women, don't? Or do so very rarely. And that actual, y'know, penetrative sex, is fairly unlikely to cause one? Forgetting the exact numbers, but it was found** that something like half to three quarters of ladies that do experience it, don't (or, at least, seldom) from th'act of reproductive intercourse (which they still get up to plenty, mind. Still feels good, and there's other reasons besides.).

Basically, if it is adaptive, it's really not doing a good job at motivating sleeping with a dude.

*Seriously, look into it. I was personally introduced to the subject of the research et al involved by Lloyd's book. I remember it having an issue or two, but it did a bloody good job of laying out several of the problems surrounding research into the phenomena and regarding an adaptive explanation (which was/is basically the normal assumption) specifically.
**Once some researchers that didn't have their heads up their metaphorical experimental methodology arse started doing some work.

...You guys know that you are mammals, right?

What are mammals? Creatures with mammary glands!
^{Just like 'male nipples' blehh.}

[RedKing]

Male nipples are essentially hood ornaments. Because sexual dimorphism in humans can only go so far.

And not all male mammals have nipples. The Norwegian rat and most horses being two examples.

I find your wording here extremely confusing.

Flash Player has decided it wants to eat up a million kilobites of processing power, and 75% of my CPU. I think it's time for a re-installation.

you mean uninstall (HMTL 5 FTW)

Fair enough. Put more clearly: One of the arguments against the female orgasm coming about as an evolutionary pressure towards reproductive sex is that it's terrible at actually occurring during the process. Something like a third of all women never experience orgasm, regardless of method, or only do so very rarely. Of the remaining 2/3rds, only somewhere between half and a quarter experience one with any degree of likelihood during penetrative sex -- that is, somewhere between 50 and 75% (I've forgotten the exact number, but it was 50+%, yes.) of that remainder either don't or aren't likely to experience orgasm during reproductive sex. And there's not really much of a notable difference in frequency or likelihood of having sex between any of the varying permutations, from what I recall.

To say the phenomena is supposed to incentivise reproductive congress when for something either approaching or notably beyond a majority of women it doesn't occur during such, and it's not particularly likely to cause more when it does is... unlikely, y'know?

[scrdest]

Then what is the explanation? It just bumped into existence for no reason? That would be very unlikely.

What would be an alternative is a social benefit, since I'm fairly but not completely certain that sex, including non-reproductive sex, increased group cohesion.

[Frumple]

... again, the likely explanation, at least from what I've seen, is that it's there for more or less the same reason men have nipples. It's so strongly selected for in one sex that it happens to stick around for the rest of the species.
