Horny Humans

In my last post, I stated that humans are the most sexual mammals on Earth. I amend that by stating here, that we are possibly the most sexual animals, period. Here is my reasoning.

Most people have a hard time dealing directly with sexual issues in a logical manner, especially when it comes to their own sexuality.  Here is a question of logic for you to answer.  Would the Creator God (assuming such a thing exists) have made humans to be so sexual for no reason whatsoever? 

How sexual are humans?  Both men and women have a great capacity for sexual enjoyment, in many different ways, from many different people…or objects…and, yes, even from animals.  Women do not have a sexual “season”.  If approached in the right way by the right person, a woman will have sex at any time of the day or night, any time of the week, month, or year.  A woman may even initiate such action.  Women have a great capacity to enjoy a lot of sex in many ways and they have this wonderful ability to have multiple orgasms.  (However, having the ability and having the desire, are two different things.) 

Men, of course, are ready to have sex whenever and where ever they can find it.  And, unlike most mammals, most men in their prime can have sex every day, sometimes more than once a day, for weeks or months or years on end. For instance, a stallion used for breeding purposes may "cover" (the quaint term for having sex with) one or two mares a day for a few weeks. Then they will be exhausted and have to be put out to pasture to rest until the next breeding season. 

Also, human males, pound for pound, tend to have the largest penises of almost all, if not in fact all, mammals. A 190 pound human male can easily have a six inch penis length when fully erect. A 1200 pound stallion can have an erect (and usable--that is, outside the penis sheath) penis of thirty inches. (Of course many stallions have shorter erect penises, while some have longer ones. But the figures given are a good average.)

If we divide the length in inches by the weight, we will get a ratio of inches per pounds. For the human that would be 6/190= 0.03. For the stallion it would be 30/1200= 0.025. Clearly the human has a longer penis for his body weight than a stallion does.

Then there is the blue whale, the biggest mammal in the world. Some are as big as 180 tons, but I will use 150 tons which is, again, a good average. The male blue whale has an average erect penis length of six feet. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But six feet, or 72 inches, divided by 150 tons, or 300,000 pounds, equals a length to pounds ratio of 0.00024. That would be like a human male having a penis length of between 4/10 and 5/10 of an inch long when erect. That's more like a gorilla, which, on average, has an erect penis length of one and a half inches.

And, by the way, gorillas have no trouble breeding. So, having a longer penis does not equate in humans, who are primates like gorillas, to assuring more pregnancies.

Then there is the fact that humans are obsessed with things sexual. It has been extimated that fully two-thirds of all the internet traffic is related to sex. Churchmen and politicians are getting caught up in sexual scandals on a regular basis. And how many divorces are caused by men who can't keep there willy in their pants? For that matter, more than a few divorces are caused by women who can't keep their knickers on.

And we were either made that way, by God, with these mental and physical sexual attributes, or we evolved that way. Whatever you wish to believe, it doesn't change the facts of our innate human sexuality.

Still, as I said in the first sentence of the second paragraph to this article, most people have a hard time dealing directly with sexual issues in a logical manner, especially when it comes to their own sexuality. That's because of religion. Basic Christian dogma would have us believe that sex between one man and one woman, who are married, in which they participate only in face-to-face, penile-vaginal sex, and only for procreation and not pleasure, is proper and correct sex…if you have to do it at all. All things considered, that's just plain silly.

And the laws--blue laws--that have been passed to punish transgressors have been to no avail. Besides, those laws actually promote a specific religious belief and that is a violation of the "establishment" clause of the First Amendment.

So, like I said, humans are the most sexual mammals on Earth. What should we do about it . . . besides enjoying it as much as we can? Well, I have three, and only three, logical, objective rules about sex. All sex can be good if you follow these three rules: 1) no unwanted pregnancies, 2) no sexually transmissible diseases, and 3) consensual adult sex only. And I add one caveat to those rules--The Golden Rule: Treat others as you wish to be treated. That means no unnecessay roughness. That is about domination and control, not about the fantastic beauty and enjoyability of good sex.

These rules are easy to follow. But humans are irrational, illogical, emotional beings, not given to following logic when they can smell sex in the air. Sex is, as May West once said, "emotion in motion." Remember, sex should be enjoyable, and if you're doing it right it will be. And sex should not cause you to worry about pregnancy or disease, and if you think things through and are careful, you won't have to worry about that either.

So be careful, let logic guide you, then let emotion allow you to enjoy all the sex you can have, all the sex you want, whether it is self-sex or sex with other consenting adults. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed of what comes naturally to us as humans. Our sexuality is encoded in our very being.
