This implies that there's some sort of evolutionary advantage to getting sloppy seconds. I don't know how I feel about that.
Yes I do. Do I think every sex was consensual? No. Do I think at least 1% of women had at one point consented to sex? Yes.
However "-amory" implies romantic relationships. We're talking sexual interactions, not love.
When discussing animal social behaviours, "polygamy" is used.
If being gay (not bi) is so obviously an evolutionary disadvantage, how does it exist in humans and animals in statistically significant numbers?
Turns out there may be more to this evolution thing than 'first past the post'. Non-reproductive members of a species can help other members of the species to survive.
Essentially it's not about getting "my genes" into the next generation, it's really about getting the genes of "my species" into the next generation, and beyond.

It doesn't matter how long you live if you have no offspring. It feels like, statistically, gay people really shouldn't exist. Yet here we are.
Hi, it's me, the strangely existing gay person!
We are animals, monogamy is not a part of humanity like it is in penguins.
Our penises reshaped over millenia of orgies just to get all the other guys cum out.
We are sluts of the animal world, like rabbits
It implies that there were enough guys getting sloppy seconds for dick shape to give a reproductive advantage.
While it could have been from a lot of free love in the ancient past, I suspect it's more likely much darker than that and the evolution of cuckolds is intertwined.
I wasn't equating women with anything, nor making any sort of generalization. If that's what you saw in that, that's on you.
Female human here. I've honestly always just read it literally, a person having sex second in a multiple partner scenario, and it being sloppy down there for all involved. There's just as much guy in the statement as there is girl, doesn't seem all that problematic to me.
Second human woman here, I concur. I always just thought that term implied the...goopiness of the act itself in a humorous way
There's some thought that this is also the reason for the shape of the human penis

Which really makes you think, shouldn't longer-penised individuals have an reproductive advantage over short-penised people? Longer penises can scoop deeper in the couchhole to get out other people's jizz. Why hasn't the human race evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?
We kind of have. Human penises are waaaay bigger than those of other primate species, and many other mammals (relative to overall body size).
Gorillas consider large penises a sign of barbarism. When's the last time you heard of a gorilla killing someone?
A human?
Think about it. /s... Unless?
Why hasn't humanity evolved such that every male had 20 cm (7.8 in) penises?
Oh dear, no one tell him he got the short end of the genes..
Joking, of course.
I would assume penises didn’t need to evolve to be that long on average since vaginas are not that deep on average? So there would only be so much depth to reach in the first place. Possibly girth would also affect it - having a long noodle dick might mean no matter how deep you go, the penis might not be wide enough to effectively “scoop” it out.
Again assuming, but after a certain length (bottoming out), width would become more important
The longer the penis, the larger the fraction of women who will find sex with that person painful, and at some point the reproductive advantage of scooping out others' semen will be nullified due to the fact that no woman wants to sleep with you. I think I read that four inches is the length that most women find comfortable, but I don't remember where I read it.
I'm pretty sure I read 8 as the average preferred length, but I'm sure we're both biased in what we read so I have no idea really. All I have is personal experience that tell me it's well above 4, but also everyone I've slept with has been generally aware of my size beforehand, so it's got a large self-selection bias.
I learned about this from a book I really enjoyed called Nature's Nether Regions. The part about spiders was pretty weird as well.
what else would you do with a flying shovel penis?
What WOULDN'T you do with such a marvel?? 😂
