Why is heterosexuals the majority in the human population?

"Why ARE heterosexuals..."

Stupid me. I started typing out "Why is heterosexuality...." then changed my question.

Before anyone wants to be an asshole about it.

Propagation of the species

Right, R2.

So does that somehow make us "less than" in the evolution of humanity?

What's wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you - no wire hangers ever?!

Well, how do you think the human race would survive if we weren't more likely to fuck the opposite sex? Although, maybe Mother Nature is doing a course correct to protect against overpopulation: did you see that other thread here a few weeks ago that said an astounding percentage (I can't remember off the top of my head), now identify as bi/"queer?"

Most people are bi

Well, I don't know (or care) about fish, but there's no such thing as a 'heterosexual man'.

There are certain species of fish that change sex, based on population counts. Too many, there are more males, too few, vice versa. I believe it’s the same with humans.

We are not fish R8. All herd animals are male or female. We are a herd animal. We cannot change sex no matter how hard we huff and puff.

Your post is literal violence!

OP, you're stupid. Glad you're crying and not reproducing.

What you is is what I is.

Interesting question OP. If we're creating problems for just about anything and anyone else, maybe heterosexuals will be in the minority one day to prevent us from breeding so much.

What puzzles me is, okay we're the minority, okay we serve some evolutionary purpose and keep popping up, but why do we have sexual desire for each other?

The the one good thing about all the nonbinary and pansexual idiots...they're really all gay and won't be reproducing.

IMO homosexuality was nature's design from the beginning of time to help keep the population under control.

Is you or is you ain't my baby?

We need all kinds of people to make this world work. Hetero people populate it. Gay people make it better.

That's true r18. That's our evolutionary purpose and why we aren't simply vestigial. Perhaps it's sexual desire that drives us to attain and excel. Oh have i answered my own r14 question.

Most animals are heterosexual too. Gays married the opposite sex and had children for centuries. Everyone was expected to get married and procreate until very recently. I think being gay or bi is the same as just being born blonde, blue-eyed or left handed. It's possibly a genetic mutation.

R18, this is right. The primary directive of any species is to perpetuate itself; therefore, there are heterosexuals as far as the eye can see. But we wouldn’t get anywhere if ALL people did was worry about the cave rats. Someone had to invent the wheel.

Wouldn't it have just been easier if we were all straight?

The living thing is Gaia. It is eliminating us to preserve itself.

The padawan is correct.

OP has an IQ of about 65

Because us heteros love to procreate.

Up until a couple hundred years ago people feared there weren't enough people. Disease, war... dangerous, grueling lives made death a constant companion.

That's not a problem anymore, so 'be fruitful and multiply' no longer applies.

No, we’re not fish r9. But if you think we’re not connected to the natural world, you’re not paying attention.

I figure it's mother nature who wants to perpetuate the species even though our species is destroying the planet. But I also think the pandemic is mother nature's way of getting rid of us too.

Yay Mother Nature!

How is Babby formed?

[quote] How is Babby formed?

Like this, R31.

Why are straight me so stupid?

Possibly the dumbest question ever be asked on DL, a site known for its intelligence and perspicacity.

What have we come to?

Okay genius big mouth know-it-all fucking pretentious and arrogant cuntface at R35, by all means give us the definitive answer.

Speak, oh cunting one. So that we can all be enlightened by your self-proclaimed wisdom.

Go ahead. We're all waiting to hear from you, with bated breath.

R36 is eagerly awaiting his extinction, post haste, and doesn't understand how a uterus functions even if it hates how it expelled someone like him.

Being rejected and not aborted by parents who didn't want him didn't make him smarter, or more loveable and able to be adopted by his mates' family friends.

He just, sadly, became himself as openly as possible.

That's how shallow, crass men who were functionally unsuccessful with women behave. Meanly and pursuing younger, more naive victims, often selected by family patriarchs. With no fuck's given to multi-genrational victims of physical and sexual abuse.

R10. That is why the penis has no nose and no eyes!

[quote]Why is heterosexuals the majority in the human population?

They are not.

You just know the bisexuals are going to side with the straights on this, they have all the power and resources and they have options with either partner should it come to infiltrating a couple.

OP didn't think this one through before posting.

A minority reproducing het population is a good idea. We'd treat our women and children better. Like in a hive, most of us would be tasteful drones for decorating the hive, entertaining and doing good things. Then most men would be available, including Bradley Cooper.

We don't have reliable stats about homo sapien sexuality. I think the 10% number is far too low I know from my work that ancient Native Hawaiians were very cool about homosexuality. Two kings were gay and they lived with their partners. The Brits brought Christianity and their bullshit taboos

I look to studies of our cousin primates to try to get a better understanding of our natural sexuality. They're all whores.

Heterosexuals are not the majority. Bisexuals are.

If God meant for women to enjoy sex, He would have placed her clitoris in her vagina.

^^ Oh, dear. I'm a guy and even I know the majority of the bean is interior.

^^^Oh dear I was trying to be facetious.

Oh, dear you don't know homo sapien anatomy

OP might be a MAGAT trying to engage us by asking a stupid MAGAT question.

How the fuck is this a MAGAT question? It's an interesting topic of discussion

^^Look fuckface, you are an IDIOT!

^^ Cancel youself, pendejo, instead of trying to censor others. Eat shit while you're at it.

The biological need to procreate is inherent. By nature, we’re procreators. Sexuality is a human construct trying to explain this need. Same-sex attraction balances over-procreation, even though gay people can still feel the need to beget crotchfruit. Just fuck whoever you want and forget about why you want to.

^^Hey, Face Fucker. Is English your first language? Do you know the definition of the word ‘censor’ that you freely toss around? Are you one of those transgender queens that lack an education? Nobody is censoring anybody else…and quit it with your cancel culture idiot verbiage!

^^ fuck yourself in your tranny hole, pendejo. Cancel your meds and eat more shit. More. More. Still here?

Girls! You both should have been aborted…

Well OP, they is ‘cause they is.

Where's the pendejo? Where'd he go? We need him to tell us what we should/should not discuss.

Except the real pandeho is probably pro-life.

OP kind of dumb.

OP kinda sounds like that dipshit Defacturd.

I'm interested in the evolution of sexuality. For instance was neanderthal man a bigger homo than homo erectus? Seriously, I study evolution and we know so little. I get the impression not much attention is given to sexual practices. Only survival.

^That would mean you are an anthropologist, which you are clearly not

Homosexuality by birth is due to hormones in the womb. Women that experience stress during pregnancy release more homrones than others during resulting in the homosexual child. It’s not a genetic trait. It’s an abnormality, albeit an okay one.

R63 is a poorly educated sod unfamiliar with the numerous sciences that contribute to the study of evolution. So STFU.

Because gender and hetero-normative sexuality are social constructs. We are biologically wired to be bi-sexual, not monogamous, and raise children in groups (that's why we are the only species that women live past reproductive age - known as the grandmother theory). Our society has made this impossibly complex social network that blocks our natural tendencies, this is why we are the only species that stopped evolving - our extinction event is upon us anyway, so on to something else.

R64. Meemaw, get off the computer.

Thankyou r64, I've read this theory too and believe it to be true although everyone on here rubbishes it. I don't believe homosexuality has anything to do with evolution, or genetics, it's just a quirk of birth.

[Quote]that's why we are the only species that women live past reproductive age -

This is not true. Our cousin primates both male and female (post reproductive) live into old age. There are plenty of other species that do the same.

R68 you're hilarious. How's your womb today?

If it was the opposite, 10% was straight, the worlds population would have a problem

I'd wager it was homosexual ancient man that created music, song and language. Many scientists believe song predated language.

r69 you are correct - I should have clarified "primates" - but their not our "cousins" - we only share a common ancestor

Like it or not other primates are our cousins. We're primates.

Well I don't know about female olds in the animal kingdom, but we are one of the few species that has sex when the female is not in breeding mode. Whatever is going on with nature, and probably nothing purposeful, what is going on with human sexuality is not sex-to-breed, sex-to-breed, sex-to-breed until you die.

Of course, the hardest thing to grasp about evolution is that it doesn't have some grand and glorious vision leading inevitably to the wonder that is YOU.

^^ this is incorrect. Many species engage in sex for many reasons.

R3 No. There are plenty of examples of same sex coupling among animals. And plenty of examples of asexual reproduction.

All life prioritizes reproduction. It's as basic an element of life as respiration and eating are.

What's more interesting is sexuality that doesn't result in reproduction. Even Katharine Hepburn believed that homosexuality is natural and evolved to naturally control overpopulation. Very interesting that heterosexuality has been legally enforced in small or intentionally growing populations with high mortality rates, and homosexuality becomes socially normalized among high populations that need to curb population growth for their own goods.

This is all very wrong-headed. People looking for purposes and intentions and grand schemes where there are only arbitrary rules or nonrules. It is extremely unlikely that homosexuality serves as population control anywhere as long as heterosexual males are free to breed. You want population control? Put women in charge of all aspects of sexuality and breeding. Saying 90 or 95% of males will go on fucking and breeding, while 5 or maybe 10% of males will only fuck each other is just not going to do much about population. And of course it doesn't really work that way anyway. Quite a few of those who would like to be only-male fuckers will in fact be breeders cause Mom needs grandkids or some shit.

And of course a society that really is all about making babies would be a complete fuckfest anyway, and not have all sorts of shit about only fucking the one a priest said you could fuck, even if one or both of you is barren. All these rules come in for idiotic, generally religious, reasons. Medieval Europe was definitely interested in breeding more kids, but it still managed to sustain a huge cult of celibacy.

R66 pulled that stupid theory out of his/her back side.

r66 may be right about some things in some areas, but this whole idea of hard-wired is where it all breaks down. We are not hardwired. We fall into various culture traps and pretend we are hardwired that way. It always reeks of "hey, fellas, I got this all figgered out ..." And come on "reproductive biologist," we've stopped evolving. What the fuck is that nonsense?

Because heterosexuals are majority among any population, not just the human one. And you definitely know why and how evolution works. It would be weird if we were the only species where majority isn't heterosexual and I would understand if that would shock you. But this?

Also "90% straight to 10% gay"? No. Gay people make maybe 3% of the population, tops. There's not 10% even with bisexuals.

R6 -Most people are bi - No.

R6 thinks that gays are going to start fucking women now since "most people are bi."

Our brains are versatile. I could only have sex with a woman if I closed my eyes and pretended it was a man. But I could do it.

Deep Thoughts, by...

[quote]Is it by intelligent design?

Cram it churchy.

Procreation is the driving force behind all life. Even ancient Greek men who were pretty loose sexually were to put aside their male lovers to make babies. For centuries gay men were expected to marry and procreate and they did. Only recently has that changed.

R74 it's not about "liking it or not" - they don't have the same number of chromosomes - we can't mate with them - that's why I say we aren't cousins - and we have almost nothing in common with chimps, however, we have lots in common with apes.

R75. It’s that human females are always in heat.

R89 "we have almost nothing in common with chimps, however, we have lots in common with apes." Chimps are apes, you dummy. And not only are they apes, they are great apes, like us. And out of the great apes they are the closest to us humans. So yeah, we have A LOT in common with chimps. More than with any other living creature. So basically everything you said is wrong.

They're not, bisexuals are.

R89 with every post you need to be corrected. You sound interested in the subject but you are poorly informed. Why not study before making false proclomations? Many of these ideas you hold are unfounded.

Actually, not to shock fraus like r88, but Greek men were not expected to "put aside" their male lovers to have babies. They were free to fuck their wives for baby making and to fuck boys for pleasure. Of course, depending on which Greeks we are talking about. Athenians is usually what we mean by "Greeks."

And yes, of course fucking is a strong driving force in life. But it is no more the "purpose" of life than eating or sleeping. What a stupid purpose that would be, even if nature had purposes like that.

[quote] But I also think the pandemic is mother nature's way of getting rid of us too.

I didn't know Mother Nature was a leader of the Chinese Communist Party?

Before the current rage to be Trans, what did people with this idea in their mind do?

The biggest thing I hate about being gay is that our dating pool is so much smaller than it is for straight people.

Not only that, but since many are afraid to come out as openly gay, our pool shrinks even more because so many are in the closet!

It really fucking sucks.

well of course age and attractiveness will factor in r98, but I suspect you can find a homo or two in some big cities. Where do you live? If it's a small hyperChristian town can you escape from that nonsense?

I think it's funny that gay men still go for looks in a male partner. As if you're going to have a baby with the guy. I think that's something hardwired in us.

Oh, boy, r100, how to explain this. People fuck without thinking about making babies. Not Duggars. But actual people. And really, the Duggars have bigger worries right now.
