Personally, a large, "hot" guy would send me running in the other direction.

And on the other topic that Cheerful brought up and I don't think anyone's addressed....I think it tends to go against nature for males to be monogamous. All animals have the need to perpetuate the species wired in. Humans have put constraints on this. I'm not saying that I think men should run wild. I just understand that there may be a struggle between our animal instincts and what we've been socialized to accept.

That's like saying it's against nature for humans to do most of the things that we do. If it can be acquired through evolution and nurturing, it is difficult to fully distinguish what human "nature" is in comparison to other animal species. Humans are supposed to be different than other animals anyway, right?

But thanks for connecting cheerful and AKA Monet's posts about animals for me. I do find connection in that the male of almost every animal species is charged with spermulating (is that word?) as many females as possible. The only reason why females can't eggulate (not a word?) as often as possible is because of the conceiving and birthulation (not a word) stages.

On that note, if there's truly a tie between humans and other animals in that manner, this means that female humans really don't care who spermulates their egg and will go from male to male until the eggulation occurs. In that case, humans have definitely regulated women more than men because women are called whores when they do this. On another note, that means that female humans are naturally supposed to be nurturers because they give birth--just as most female animal species are in charge of birth and nurturing.

(I feel a panic attack coming on. I'm glad that we're not relegated to our "nature" or even our "socialization," for that matter.)
