Many anthropologists believe that that the greatest advantage of opposable thumbs in humans is for grasping tools however what if we evolved because of the primates ability to masturbate?

When you get right down to it, everything someone does is motivated by a desire to reproduce, and masturbation is a way to mimic the feeling of reproducing, so this seems entirely plausible.

I'm playing Starcraft 2.

How the hell is this going to get me laid?

Ithe point of the post is that tech interferes with natural sexual intercourse. It accelerates technological evolution and weakens our own.

You're making a critical error in assuming sexual evolution is best left to the physically superior.

not really. The evolution of our neo cortex involves the weakening of the body and its genes. The only thing strengthening are our social memes. Biological evolution is doomed. Future life will only include synthetic life.

If I say the phrase "Survival of the fittest", do you think:

A) Athletes will rule the world

B) Fitness refers to success of producing offspring

C) Curls get the girls

Which is?

Those who are producing the most offspring are in the third world with no tech. Think about that for a while and get back to me.

Yet people in first world countries have extensive families?

Our birth rate in Europe and America are negative

So what you're saying is... The most sexually fit and prosperous are those in third world countries?

They are the ones reproducing the most. It is the rampant deceptive masturbators who wish to limit their reproduction in various ways.

You're a rampant and self deceptive masturbator.

Emrakul?

Of course, you are able to mentally masturbate with or without thumbs. This thread proves it.

do you mind explaining your facetious comment more clearly? Or do you not have an explanation for your beliefs?

It's just the obvious. I thought you might be interested in the obvious. If you pretend to not know or do not know the obvious that is your business.

Still no substance in your argument.

I'm actually not arguing with you. Don't worry maybe the obvious is not for you. You might be of a different ilk.

You actually are claiming that you know the obvious and I do not. That was your argument. We truly live in the days that Orwell predicted.

Not sure about how Orwell fits into this. I think you know the obvious and just like to practice sophistry. Just my opinion and we see quite a bit of this around here. Someone will just up and say that they can't see beyond the end of their nose so let's debate. This time around you are that guy. I hope you have a great day.

Once again you have no argument. I'm sorry you do not have the capabilities to maintain an objective state of mind and feel the need to attack me instead of stay on the topic of the post.

Other animals masturbate without thumbs yet have not evolved.

They do not climax.

Um, it's strange that you are on the internet and have made such a claim. Animals self gratify and climax. They even eat their own seed.

you are referring to rare examples. Primates are habitual.

And what does me being on the Internet have anything to do with this?

You are creating a logical fallacy while the information required to debunk your thesis is sitting in your lap. You would have to intentionally withhold the information from yourself in order to continue along the illogical path you have chosen.

That makes absolutely no sense and has zero information that is helpful to the discussion. Try and stick to specific examples please.

Look here, typical 1 month redditor, you are being intentionally dimwitted in order to create your post. Please stop making critical thinkers look bad.

Now you are trying to shame me? Stick to the facts of the argument please.

And FYI I have been following this thread for a long time. I have posted before and my posts were censored for whatever reason.

I think perhaps you are a heavy masturbator and are in a state of cognitive dissonance right now. You feel the urge to defend your argument without any specific example of a cognitive and coherent argument.

The facts of the argument are, and were quite simple. (If you would even call it an argument)

  • Masturbation/manual stimulation is not in any way isolated to humans/mammals as an observed behavior

  • You are intentionally being argumentative and acting the fool in this thread while ignoring any meaningful conversation.

  • You said it yourself, you are in an argument

  • Fuck off with your mockery already

Rule 10. Removed.

I can masturbate without using my thumbs. Anyone else?

Sex robots? FUCK YEAH!
