So there's this study about male sperm production.
It was listed in a trivia book i just bought, but i found a more direct link to the study here: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/04/18/the-effect-of-porn-on-male-fer/
The summary is, looking at porn with two guys and a woman can make your body produce more sperm. The theory is that seeing competition for a mate makes the body work harder to secure limited reproductive opportunities. At least, that's the theory held by people who accept the theory of evolution as having some relevance to human biology.
The first thing i thought of was to wonder how The Faithful would interpret this finding?
If we're supposed to be married and monogamous, as so many of the Faithful keep telling us, why would the body be designed like this? If evolution is wrong, then there's no biochemistry explanation for the response, it's something God had a reason for adding to the basic programming.
And with that, he also made it so there was the same response to any woman, not just the one we're married to and expect to have kids with.
What for?
If the mate is sleeping around, does anyone really think God wants us to have a better chance at fathering kids on the slut?
And if we're supposed to be monogamous, why does the body clearly respond to any woman as a possible partner?
