Why do humans prefer to mate in private?
Phys.org ^ | August 5, 2020 | Bob Yirka

Yitzchak Ben Mocha, an anthropologist with Zürich University, has conducted a study of human procreation habits as part of an effort to understand why humans prefer to mate in private. In his paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, he describes his analysis of other studies that involved human sexual practices, among other things.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that human beings generally prefer to mate in private—but why? And why is it so rare? Other than humans, only one other species has demonstrated a preference for privacy during mating: Arabian babblers.

Human beings wear clothes, and they don’t urinate or move their bowels in public either.

Oh, what a sheltered life you lead.....

This kind of privacy is rather new, a modern luxury. For millennia, families shared a sleeping space and parents had sex with their children sleeping nearby. Sex was more utilitarian than romantic. Sexual practices have changed. As have birth and death practices.

In the Middle Ages, marriage vows included the bride’s promise to be bonny and buxom in bed and at board. Willing and obedient in bed and at table, her wifely duties.

Memories from a college anthropology class long ago.

It was done this way so pornography could become a multi billion dollar business.

What a stupid study. Human beings wear clothes, and they don’t urinate or move their bowels in public either.

Precisely!

I do it in private because I don’t want all the other guys to be jealous.

Especially when its a group event with the Palm sisters, right?

Some groups will take to this like fish to water.

Actually in certain countries people do defecate in public. India for instance.

Why do Canadians do it doggy style? So they can both watch the hockey game.

But the song said it was so they could both watch X-Files: Bad Touch

Human ... don’t urinate or move their bowels in public either.

Which proves that the Occupy crowd wasn't really human.

That’s usually attributed to Lord Chesterfield, but there’s no evidence that he ever said it either.

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