Document Summary
Why do pedophiles exist: because we should start mating as soon as possible, this used to be around age 14, however, more recently the onset of female puberty has started to begin earlier and earlier. What is the negative affect of pedophilia: if you"re a child, you"re probably an idiot. This means you probably wont make the best choices in mates: children are not mature enough to have enough cognitive processing to select a mate that will benefit them. Children are sexually precotious and not mentally precotious: children make terrible decisions that decrease their own. Kin selection hypothesis: people will choose who is genetically related to them. What is the point of masturbation: relieves stress, makes you feel good, if you masturbate before sex you will last longer. Upsuck hypothesis: if you have an orgasm, you are more likely to get pregnant, pressure difference between uterus (pressure decreases) and the vagina (pressure increases)
