I’ll never look at mushrooms the same way again - sperm scoopers! Well, it does not surprise me how selective our female bodies are, they really don’t settle, oh how we can learn so much from our own nature 💜

Isn't that the truth! These brilliant bodies, on the lookout for the best partner to procreate with. I read how being on the pill actually mutes women's olfactory senses and ability to select a suitable partner. Our bodies never cease to amaze. 🫶

I love sex ed. I feel like I'm better for having read this.

Thank you, Allysha! It definitely includes some details that middle school sex ed left out... Better late than never ✨️

Loved this. Reminded me of some of the stuff in the book ‘Sex at Dawn.’ But the penis head shape/scooping info was new to me, and very interesting. Thanks for sharing these insights.

Welcome, Rebecca, thanks for chiming in. Yes! Sex at Dawn was one of our required readings when I was becoming a VITA Coach. The body is endlessly fascinating. Glad to have your voice in the mix.

The body IS endlessly fascinating indeed!

I am reading sex at dawn right now, really appreciated the non monog references, so interesting!

It puts evolution in a whole new light, doesn’t it!

Sex at Dawn has been thoroughly debunked by scientists across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The authors wrote the book to support their belief in polyamory. Humans split from other primates 2 million years ago. Relying on animal behavior to prescribe what is “natural” for humans is as dangerous as it is futile. Why use body-shaming to buttress unscientific conclusions?

This was great, and apropos. I know a number of former partners who would be distressed to learn their vocal output is based in evolutionary history of attracting more sexual partners. :)

Many thanks, Frank. Appreciate you being here and sharing your thoughts. Evolution and morality are different constructs entirely, and this seems to get under people’s skin. Alas!

I saw an animal special talking about testicle size and male monogamy. Some rodents have semen that cements the lady critter shut in hopes of sealing the genetic deal.

Animal sexuality is a whole fascinating avenue on its own! Female ducks are often subjected to assault from male ducks so they even have fake vaginal canals to prevent the sperm from making it home. It blows my mind!

i had no idea ducks have fake vaginal canals, that is so interesting!

Right?! I was in awe and went down a research spiral after that!

i saw this article on my feed and the title intrigued me.. i actually have learned quite a bit from this. the entire format and content of this post also kept me interesting while reading (i have the attention span of a goldfish). also mushrooms will forever be known as sperm scoopers now, i love that.
