    I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There’s no biological reason for why that can’t happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You’d be less exposed to predators etc

    The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it’s a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

      Actually there is afaik a biological reason: Take it with a grain of salt,though - It’s a long time since I attended these lectures. The repeated insertion increases the need for lubrication(which increases sperm transport after ejaculations) and making sure the vaginal canal is opened fully.

      Again, it’s a long time ago I had that lecture and it might not be up-to-date,so someone please confirm this.

      It can also prevent ineffective, outcast, or weaker specimens from mating. If a woman could be impregnated in very few seconds consistently then the number of teen or child pregnancies as well as pregnancies resulting from rape would all increase dramatically. Some similar evolutions occured in Wolves, the wolves genitals are stuck together after reproduction and if an outcast attempts to mate he will be trapped and ripped to shreds.

          Puritanical movements are historically a social response to widespread sexually transmitted illnesses

            Really? Which ones? Syphillis came from the colombian exchange, are puritans a response to that one?

              It’s an overly broad statement tbh as these things are always a confluence of social pressures but yes, there’s a decent amount of scholarship specifically on that, public responses to the AIDs crisis both in the 80’s and in areas still suffering from it, the rise and fall of classical Bacchanalian-type cults, etc.
