Are there any biological advantage behind males incapable of reaching multiple orgasms like females?[edit]

Are there any biological advantage behind males incapable of reaching multiple orgasms like females? Rizosome (talk) 16:06, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is probably conservation of energy, but men are actually capable of multiple orgasms.[1] See Orgasm#Subsequent and multiple orgasms. nagualdesign 18:42, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The obvious answer is that the men would never get any work done, and everyone would starve. Maybe that's what did in the Neanderthals. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:49, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't understand this part "men would never get any work done". What do you mean by that? Rizosome (talk) 18:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two choices: (1) get to work; or (2) get another orgasm. Which one would you opt for? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Then how do you explain women working at all??? 2601:646:8A01:B180:8DAE:8B87:A52D:42A0 (talk) 05:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about now? Or thousands of years ago? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to create a male calico cat that can reproduce by changing its genes, or would that kill the cat?[edit]

Also, if the cat had a baby, would it be female or male?

Changing an individual's sex chromosomes from XX to XY is not possible with current technology. Even if it was, one cannot expect the ovary to thereby change into a pair of testicles. --Lambiam 22:33, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lambiam, does this mean that you dont know. And if you dont know, I dont care!

You just convinced me not to put any effort in finding an answer to any future questions you may have. --Lambiam 22:55, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Lambiam, that was a mistake. I would actually like to put in effort for my future questions!

Then you won't mind using Google! ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:48, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or, failing that, read what Calico cat has to say about male Calicos. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:53, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
