FoxNews Study: Prehistoric Man Had Sex for Fun

[CGowen]

He may have come down from the trees, but prehistoric man did not stop swinging. New research into Stone Age humans has argued that, far from having intercourse simply to reproduce, they had sex for fun.

Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties.

According to the study, a 30,000-year-old statue of a naked woman -- the Venus of Willendorf -- and an equally ancient stone phallus found in a German cave, provide the earliest direct evidence that sex was about far more than babies.

Timothy Taylor, reader in archeology at Bradford University, reviewed evidence from dozens of archeological finds and scientific studies for his research.

“The widespread lay belief that sex in the past was predominantly heterosexual and reproductive can be challenged,” said Taylor.

1. It's nice to think how much we've evolved.

:evilgrin:

[Giant Robot]

2. I think its very sad

I mean after thousands of years of evolution we are still doing it the same ways our ancestors did? Come on Homo Sapiens we can think of new ways to do it!

[raccoon]

3. But did prehistoric woman have sex for fun?

Or just to have a caveman to fight off the wildlife or kill off the wildlife for food?

Also, did prehistoric man give a rat's arse whether his woman had sex with other men in the tribe? That's what I'd really like to know. Being that property ownership hadn't been invented yet, would he care?

[flvegan]

4. Was dinner and dancing mandatory, or was it go time at first sight?

[SacredCow]

5. And was there a prehistoric sex trade industry?

Prehisto' ho's and Prehisto' pimps?

:hide:

[flvegan]

6. How could you tell if a caveman had game?

Cave overlooking the beach? Big Flintmobile hood ornament on a chain?

Were there caveman geeks? There was no A/V club, so how could you tell?

[SacredCow]

7. The geeks were the ones drawing on the walls....

THAT was the primitave A/V club. Archaeologists are finding that "hunting" and "gathering" had altogether different meanings amongst the swinging cavepeople.

But where did they buy their Cristal?

[flvegan]

9. At least they had a good excuse for not calling her again

No phones.

I'd like to try reverse cavegirl.

[SacredCow]

19. So true....

which would make it somewhat less likely for them to find out he was also hitting her cavesister and cavebest friend. And if they did find out, the excuse just writes itself.... "I'm just a caveman, baby- I haven't evolved. Don't throw away what we've got... C'mere- Lemme put on some Barry White-rock and we'll just hold each other...."

[edbermac]

8. Hell yeah! Just look at the babes they had way back when.

I wouldn't waste my time fighting off dinosaurs, I'd be back in my cave with the little woman taking care of business.

[DS1]

10. Of course they did

otherwise they'd have to suffer through watching their wimmen breastfeed at the local Olive Cave

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Good to know for Bill O'Reilly's sake nt

[Rambis]

12. Impossible, the earth is only 6,000 years old

everybody knows that! :sarcasm:

[Schema Thing]

13. heh heh, he said "widespread lay"

[GaYellowDawg]

14. That was before they had missionaries...

... so what did they call the position?

[xchrom]

15. ...

:woohoo:

[BurtWorm]

16. They were doing the Chinese basket trick long before there was a China.

Or baskets, for that matter.

:crazy:

[Missy Vixen]

17. This entire thread is one long DUZY nominee

So far, my favorite is the "how did the prehistoric woman know who had game?" entry.

I'm laughing myself silly over here.

18. Somewhere between the Bonobo chimps and the current version of Man

about Bonobo Chimps-
<snip>
The species is best characterized as female-centered and egalitarian and as one that substitutes sex for aggression. Whereas in most other species sexual behavior is a fairly distinct category, in the bonobo it is part and parcel of social relations--and not just between males and females. Bonobos engage in sex in virtually every partner combination (although such contact among close family members may be suppressed). And sexual interactions occur more often among bonobos than among other primates.
