Its actually quite funny when you think of it. The purpose of an animals life is to mate as frequently as possible in order to spread its genes to ensure success of its specie. So essentially those who get laid more (by whatever means) will essentialy be the most dominant (genetically from our species.) |
I do not know why so many people think this even though the evolved behavior of thousands of animal species directly contradicts it.
There are plenty of animals that will forego opportunities to reproduce, or even actively avoid intercourse with a willing partner. Those behaviors aren't flukes or aberrations; they occur across far too many species to reach any conclusion but that they have been selected for.
And that's precisely what we should expect. For a population of large, complex organisms remotely comparable to human beings, there are probably thousands of variables when it comes to timing of reproduction, ratios of organisms at different stages of maturity, population density, competition, availability of food and other resources, et cetera, all of which affect and in some cases limit the degree to which an organism's engaging in intercourse is likely to produce a net evolutionary benefit.
