You mean all those orgies we had in college were wrong?

[rbg81]

They say that the reason that a guy as ugly as Ron Jeremy got into porn was that he - at the time - was one of the few guys that could keep an erection in public.

---

When Jeremy started back in the 70s, he was actually handsome as well as endowed. He was also in a of films and his physique degraded gradually He made enough of an impression so that, by the time he became gross, his persona (& skills) were still in demand.

Personally, I think he is unwatchable.

No.

You didn’t do them outside.

...or

[Ozark Tom]

There is that exclusively? British exibitionist practice known as (slang term) “Dogging.” Is this a thing in Canada also? Seems to have become, in Britain, a spectacle-by-invitation in the smartphone era, per rumor.

a 5 million dollar grant here is about the sum of it-

absent a grant we’d never hear about it at all

Why don’t we have sex in public?

Because she doesn’t want to.

“ Because we’re not animals.‘

Thank you. Concise and to the point.

It also deters other people from wanting to “share” our mates.

Bingo!

Because humans have amoral conscience and animals work on instinct.

But the guy is too educated to understand that.

[HangnJudge]

...A very astute observation. I hope you get your check soon.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Why do liberals think with their genitals? Low IQ savages do that, just like animals.

The worship The Orgasm. It is their Lord and Savior.

You just rendered the researcher's work and income mute moot.

Except in San Francisco.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that human beings generally prefer to mate in private—but why? And why is it so rare?

Humans are different in kind from other species, because they have the faculty of reason, which is their means of survival and knowledge, So it is natural for humans to try to live a life proper to rational beings, which means naturally desiring privacy in certain contexts.

It’s simple. We are not mere animals.

“Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.”
