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.

Natural Law, a/k/a Moral Law. Animals, and atheists, don’t get it.

Atheists get it. They consciously rebel against it.

CIVILIZATION

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Ayn Rand

Because they choose to.

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

Let’s face it; sex viewed from most angles is neither sexy, dignified, graceful, or erotic.

That’s worth a $5,000,000 government grant.
