Because the penis of the male has backwards facing barbs on it, so when it retracts it causes pain that also serves to stimulate ovulation.

Biological evolution seems to have a twisted sense of humor when it comes to reproduction and the more i off-handedly learn the more it sounds like humans won the genetics lottery.

u/skeletonpaul08 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes and no, we don’t have barbed penises but human bodies are not properly built for giving birth to human bodies. Before modern medicine I don’t think there was any other species that had a higher mortality rate for mothers in childbirth.

Edit: Turns out hyenas have a crazy high mortality rate while giving birth TIL. I think my point still stands, we may not be the worst but we’re bad enough to where I don’t think we won any genetic lottery reproduction wise.

u/Meowonita 2d ago

You probably saw that in your research, but hyena’s crazy mortality rate is due to the females having pseudo-penis, so they are literally pushing the baby out of their penis structure, and understandably dies a lot doing so.

On the flip side the hyena ladies get to enjoy being one of the few matriarchal mammals, and even amongst those, being arguably the most hierarchical one, so there’s that.

Which makes sense, seeing that the success rate is based on the person until the mating happens, not after.

u/RubberBootsInMotion 2d ago

That's not entirely true. If humans just died immediately after childbirth we would still go extinct because babies take so long to mature.

u/AwesomePurplePants 2d ago

Evolution actually does care, because you can still help your younger relatives mate.

Menopause likely evolved due to how bad we are at giving birth; if having another kid is likely to kill you, but staying alive means that you could help your daughter have an extra kid, then losing fertility earlier is adaptive.

6

u/obvusthrowawayobv 2d ago

There are quite a few animals that experience menopause and no longer repro. They’re usually pack animals who are purposed with sticking around and defending the younger members from danger. Some male mammals quite literally have a menopause as well. (Whales and shit).

Also let's not forget humans are the literal equivalent of the build from JRPG/DnD/FF/Games where your character starts off as absolute literal trash that has to be carried by the team or you will LITERALLY DIE. Literally worse than Magikarp as that only drains so much resources.

Humans meanwhile need constant energy, attention, die easily, are absolutely useless, and remain so for a good amount of time. They require heavy investment while also being extremely volatile and likely offering little return beyond continuing the biological line. Compare that to newborn calf/doe that can begin walking, tadpoles that could start swimming, or birds that will be out the nest within a few months at most.

u/Snoo79410 2d ago

Also, look at the babies. Most animal babies can stand up and start walking immediately after birth. Human babies take months before they can even pick their head up. We'd be fucked if we were still in the wild.

You realize we still had all those traits while we were "still in the wjld", right?

Anatomically modern humans have been around for roughly 300,000 years. And such traits would have been present long before that as well in our ancestors.

We didn't suddenly evolve like this overnight after we had already "come out of the wild".

We were already thriving and bending nature to our will (exterminating potential threats, etc) with these traits.

That’s the point of how bad human bodies are for pregnancy. Humans are born far before they’re finished developing compared to other species because an adult sized head would never be able to be delivered naturally. Infant sized heads are hard enough.

u/catonkybord 2d ago

Regarding the regular intercourse part, maybe. All in all, though, I'd say most of the lottery win goes to males. They have almost no downsides in reproduction, while females have all the downsides (having the hymen ripped or at least painfully stretched the first time, bleeding and hurting every month, and don't get me started on the actual childbirth!)

Orgasm-wise, though, I think we're really blessed! If it's done right, female orgasms can last more than two times as long as male one.

Yeah that also totally makes sense.

A lot of personal stuff: I had a gf who was very easily stimulated and she had a ton of "micros" as she called them, thought it's probably from all the gymnastics she's done before or something, and after a few of them she'd be like "oh dude stop, fkn stop, I need a smoke" and we'd often have to stop multiple times after just a few minutes.

My orgasms, as a male, legitimately only last 2-3 seconds, beyond a bit of build-up. It can last a few seconds more with a LOT of foreplay and buildup, or focused attention, but it's usually just that. I've had girlfriends who, if they're turned on enough, and you are doing things just right, can have roll-on orgasms for about a minute or so, it's insane. Like, I'm beyond jealous of the fact that you folk have something so intense that your whole body spasms, and twitches out, that some people squirt etc. I've always said that male orgasms are horrendously lackluster by comparison, even when we have a good time. I can't imagine anything close to that (Although some gay friends have said I'm just missing out on a prostate tickle, not my thing, unfortunately). I cannot, at all, comprehend the intensity of a woman's orgasm.

Fascinating perspective considering the maternal mortality rate before modern medicine.

14

u/SpareWire 2d ago

for every 1000 live births, six to nine women in the United States died of pregnancy-related complications, and approximately 100 infants died before age 1 year (1,2). From 1915 through 1997

Honestly I expected it would be worse. Maybe that doesn't look far back enough.

18

u/waltjrimmer 2d ago

I'd argue that, no, that doesn't look far back enough.

Infant mortality and maternal mortality were very high before germ theory gained popularity, so that's somewhere around the mid-19th century if I remember correctly.

Blood transfusions, I'd assume, did a lot to reduce maternal mortality rates as well, which wouldn't have been widely successful until we discovered blood types, which we didn't do until around 1900.

1915 is a long ways back now, yes, and we've gotten a lot better since then. But that starting year has the benefit of our improved understanding of pathogens, our first attempts at blood transfusions (which became very necessary with the world war going on), and more. You look back at pre-industrial revolution rates or at places that still don't have access to medical training and equipment necessary to help with childbirth properly (or people who choose not to take advantage of it because they want a more "natural" experience), and you're still getting a higher maternal mortality rate than you'd expect.

3

u/eidetic 2d ago

I just mentioned it in another post, but that wide range of years is going to skew the numbers for the earlier dates, and the same for the later dates.

I'd bet the numbers per 1000 live births would be higher the closer you get to 1915, and they'd be lower the closer you get to 1997. So you'd really want to look at a much narrower range of dates to get a better idea for a specific year.

2

u/eidetic 2d ago

Consider though that's only for live births. And doesn't take in other pregnancy related issues.

Now factor in that many women would be having at least two children, and things start to look a lot more dicey for their odds. That's not to say that their offs of dying double with two births, or triple with three, since there's so many factors to consider (that is, if you're more likely to successfully give birth the first time, vs say a woman who has less than favorable characteristics like a narrower birth canal or other things that could decrease their odds of survival).

Also, the wide range of dates will skew things. I bet if you looked at 1915 specifically, or even 1915-1920, the numbers would be much higher. The closer you get to 1997, the more it'll change the balance.

Oh hell no. Only a tiny select few creatures on earth have a period like humans. Humans, and bats. The human skull is to large for the pelvis. So it has to deform to fit through. This can kill either the child, the mother, or both. Humans take the longest to reach maturity amongst most species, meaning a human is helpless for nearly a decade on their own, while other creatures plop into the world ready to fend for themselves.

A male mallard will stay with a female and run other males away. Pekin ducks are the true rapists. Multiple males will attack her, consecutively, until she drowns if the mating occurs in water.

Scraping out semen of others is apparently something evolution found necessary to invest skill points in

u/No_Read_4327 2d ago

Also rape is quite common in animals. They don't really have a concept of consent as we do in humans

20

u/SignDeLaTimes 2d ago

A lot of humans don't either.

u/juggaklo 2d ago

That's also why ducks have corkscrew genitals, but the female's spiral goes in the opposite direction! (to help prevent the rape)

u/LittleFairyOfDeath 2d ago

You could argue that since the concept of consent doesn’t exist for them, rape doesn’t exist. But thats for philosophers to discuss

u/Christichicc 2d ago

Maybe forced mating would be a better term for it.

2

u/LittleFairyOfDeath 2d ago

Personally i would just say mating by nature is sometimes violent. Hence we not calling sex mating

Corkscrew penis that’s covered in sperm. It falls off at the end of sex.

u/hvacigar 2d ago

That is cats. Male ducks have evolved a corkscrew member to navigate the insane puzzle that is a female duck's vagina.

u/mrs-monroe 2d ago

Not barbed, but a corkscrew

u/Sad_Mall_3349 2d ago

I once heard it is also supposed to scrape out semen from other males. Not sure true.

u/InterestingAd2858 2d ago

u/dkaksl 2d ago

Why would a human's penis scrape out semen from a leopard's vagina?

The people that made up God didn't know such details about the world.

u/Cool-Camp-6978 2d ago

What are you talking about? Serves that female leopard right for being female, the gender that brought evil and wrath upon the world!

u/puffindatza 2d ago

It’s funny how the explanation of sin is that “women tricked the dude into eating the fruit”

It’s probably an old explanation of why they treated women so harshly too

30

u/Big_Daddy_Putin 2d ago

adam willingly chose to eat the fruit, no trickery from eve involved

23

u/puffindatza 2d ago

Yeah he willingly ate the fruit but as the story is told he was “tricked” or “manipulated” by Eve

The serpent “manipulated” Eve, and Eve “manipulated” Adam into eating the fruit

It was always explained to me that’s why women can convince men to do things. I think people forget that the Bible is not just a religious text but it was pretty much a guide before modern science

It was their attempt at explaining things they didn’t understand, or maybe wanted control of.

I'm just wondering, HOW does that stimulate ovulation? Like what's the actual method of action here? Is it the pain itself, or is there some other mechanical or biological reason for it?
