Even in pre-history, men were somehow convinced that what women really wanted was: bigger dicks. Bigger dicks than human men could possibly offer.

It's such a weird preoccupation, and it seems like it's got to be deeper than just a cultural thing.

I wouldn't call 600BC prehistoric.

Depends on who your authority is

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Since we have a written record, it's clearly history, accuracy disclaimers aside.

To a lot of people, religious texts are authority

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why did you switch to the word Authority instead of History? Is it because using the word history makes your argument invalid?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't even have an argument here. Chill.

You must be so used to people being contrarian that even my sarcastic criticism triggers your aggression or whatever this is.

Just relax and take a deep breath, nobody here is an enemy.

I'm merely pointing out an interesting idea that to a lot of (maybe even most) people, history, and therefore one's worldview and values, are subjective and based around an authority of some kind.

No need to make this weirdly personal and hostile, we are only discussing ideas.

Wow you're coming off as super chill and not defensive at all here. Lol.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 hours ago

There's been a lot of strange needless hostility around here lately so maybe we move on?

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip -5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

written record, it’s clearly history, accuracy disclaimers aside.

With that definition, isn't Frodo dumping the One Ring into a vulcano history too?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Well, yes, 1955 CE is, in fact, history.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, buddy. Now go play and let the adults talk.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 7 hours ago

Yooo why are you being such a dick?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well obviously there’s a biological and psychological component, which would transcend cultures. Probably goes back to times in our evolution before we were even considered human.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

That would explain its robustness across culture and history, but I can’t come up with even a shitty evopsych explanation. Bigger dicks scoop out more of the previous male’s ejaculate??

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Same reason oral sex probably predates modern humans. Pleasing your partner is advantageous. Whether the bigger dick actually does this is a matter of perception. Just like in modern porn.
