An overview of the book: Sex at Dawn

It seems like in todays culture that women trade sex for protection / shelter and status and from the males

Sex at Dawn challenges this standard narrative and says that is not a biological truth but a cultural idea.

The male looks for signs of youth, fertility, health, absence of previous sexual experience, and likelihood of future sexual fidelity. In other words, his assessment is skewed toward finding a fertile, healthy young mate with many childbearing years ahead and no current children to drain his resources. She looks for signs of wealth (or at least prospects of future wealth), social status, physical health, and likelihood that he will stick around to protect and provide for their children. Her guy must be willing and able to provide materially for her (especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding) and their children (known as male parental investment)."

Animals —-

We humans are the most sexual beings on earth

In terms of duration, human beings spend more of our lifetime having sex than any other animal

Most mammals only have sex when the female is ovulating. Humans are rare in that we have sex any time

After chimps and bonobos gorillas are our next closest primate relatives they have sex roughly 12 - 15 times per birth / conception

Humans have sex roughly 800 - 1000 times per birth

Chimps bonobos humans and dolphins are the only animals to have sex for pleasure. All highly social and intelligent where community is integral to their survival

300 species of primates none are monogamous

Hunter gatherer Tribes ——

That were discovered without modern societal norms needed a sense of community to survive and often sharing partners ensured that children would have multiple potential fathers so if one died the kid would have other fathers to step up and take care of the kid.

Distributes the risk

In amazon tribes a fetus is an accumulation of sperm from many men, so he will get the strength of one man, the kindness of another, the mind of another.

They believe if the woman stops having sex the fetus would not continue to grow

The fathers feel thankful that other men contributed to the conception of their child

Sexual novelty and having multiple sexual partners increases testosterone.

Some men have described the urge to cheat on their partner as almost feeling like life and death.

Men with lowered testosterone are more then 4x as likely to suffer from clinical depression, fatal heart attacks and death by and cancer when compared with men their same age with higher levels of testosterone.

Also more likely to develop alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. And have a far greater risk of Dying of any cause ranging from 88% to 250% depending on the study.

Conclusion: Don't take sex so seriously

1/2 million families in the us were polyamorous at the time the book was written

So what should we do?

Allow that your going to be tempted. Its natural, but now armed with that knowledge you have the ability to talk and with your partner honestly and figure out ways to make your relationship work
