would this be heaven or hell? kind of a philosophy type question that has to do with relationships.?

Question

A study featured on yahoo and webmd showed that women were very good at picking up cues from a mans face to see if he’d be a good father or a good fling. Turns out, the female nature is to seek out one type of guy to build a nest with, and another to pass genes to her offspring with, and ends up having sex with both at different times of her cycle.

Like many mnogomous species, namely birds, males want to do it whenver, whereas females are more picky and want a mate to help her raise her offspring – but often have flings with high testosterone males with strong masculine features. The result is the mate male, in birds often an older male with less testosterone, raises offspring of a male with stronger genes. Indeed, at least 10% of men are unwittingly raising somebody elses kid!

With humans, studies show that women find family guys attractive 90% of the time, but prefer a hunky hottie during ovulation. Ovulation is when women are most likely to cheat. Plus, many women choose the guys who make good for flings when they’re young and not looking to settle down, but choose men with softer features when they want to build a family. However, I’d be willing to bet their biology doesn’t stop sending the dual signal just because society says its time to grow up.

Of course, we are in a time when women can control whether sex leads to pregnancy, and sex has become about fulfillment as much as procreation. So what if society was built around at least some men getting many partners, other men getting steady sex, and women getting both the mates and flings with no regrets?

Its science fiction, but imagine that disease prevention, birth control, and paternity testing eliminated the need for enforced monogamy. Women could commit to a guy for the long term, but still fulfill her desires when nature calls. Naturally, there would be a group of guys who got a lot of different women, and another group that got a steady stream of sex with one.

If you can put yourself in such a world, is it paradise or hell? Who is it best to be? Who is it worst to be? And what role would you most likely play, and why?

Answer 1

Interesting questions. You are talking about a complete retooling of our cultural mores, traditions, and sexual roles, which in turn leads to a complete disruption of capitalism. Think about it. If women were given as much sexual power as you want to ascribe to them in your scenario, how long would Madison Avenue be in business? Frankly, I'd love to see what you describe happen. A disruption of capitalism would do me just fine.

Answer 2

it's not really science fiction for some. what you described sounds like polyamory. a specific group of men to one woman. one she is committed to and the others (could be a set group, could be various) are just there for sexual satisfaction. is it paradise or hell? let's for a moment say that it is science fiction and there are a group of men that are committers and another that are satisfiers (which you could arguably say that these are real world traits for both men and women). if it was accepted in society, i don't think it would be either hell or paradise. it would just be the way it is. the roles would be set and accepted. men that are committed to their women would be happy because they've got what they want and the men that hop from woman to woman are happy because they are getting what they want. but because we are talking about humans here, you'd also have to deal with a degree of cross-over where satisfiers might want what they haven't got and vice versa for the committers. the grass is always greener on the other side.

Answer 3

You failed to take jealousy into account. A few years ago, someone down near Reading, Pennsylvania chased down a woman in broad daylight and cut her throat. Very severely; it was practically a beheading. This is the reason we have rules about such behavior.

Answer 4

Women are smarter than men. The reason we don't cheat is that we know in the end it weakens the family (our priority). If there was no familial backlash, women might cheat as much as men.

I would sleep around if I was guaranteed no one in my life would be harmed by my doing so. No guarantee, no straying.
