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 privatebut why? And why is it so rare? Other than humans, only one other species has demonstrated a preference for privacy during mating: Arabian babblers.

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

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.

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.

Because humans have amoral conscience and animals work on instinct.
But the guy is too educated to understand that.

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.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that human beings generally prefer to mate in privatebut 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.
