She expects monogamy but i want to do it with others too cuz im a guy and we're biologically wired this way and monogamy only benefits women. I want to stay in a relationship though and she's just not going to know.
Is my thinking incredibly fucked up or at least a tiny bit justified because this is how males work? Be honest. I'm 25 she's 22
Does a living creature require more or less energy to perform a task than a machine? For example, would an 80 kilogram person running a mile require more or less energy in calories than an 80 kilogram vehicle driving a mile?
I'm just curious to know what uses energy more efficiently.
Most super-deadly diseases/viruses end up killing their hosts before they can spread far and wide.
BUT, is it possible for natural selection to create a disease/virus that infects everyone but stays dormant for decades......and then get triggered by a certain natural mechanism to KILL EVERYONE at nearly the same time? Causing the extinction of a species, like humans?
Is this even biologically possible?
Most experts believe it's not possible. They believe only a lab-engineered disease/virus/nanobots can do something terrible like this.
A time bomb that will only explode after it has infected everyone.
i have been reading a lot about how different sound and electromagnetic frequencies interact with our bodies. between people warning about 5g and others using tuning forks for healing it is hard to separate fact from fiction.
i want to know if there is legitimate research showing that external frequencies can actually alter our cells or if this is just pseudoscience.
Just to preface this, I am not a race realist or anything adjacent I just want some clarification on something I realized
So I was watching a video about a guy debunking a video essay about race realism, and that made me realize that the way races are used reminds me of the various types of orca in the world. I mean to me at least there’s some connection. Like humans, orcas are cosmopolitan and thus have a wide range, orcas that live in one part of the world are different than those that live in another. An orca pod off the coast of Argentina is different than one from Japan or Finland. They have morphological differences. Different sizes, different patterns, even different colors. They also have cultural and dietary differences, some eat fish, others seals, etc. But with all that said, they are still Orcinus orca orca. They still share genetic and anatomical characteristics, and they are more alike than they are to other orca species. There is the weird group of subspecies in the Pacific Northwest, but those are edge cases. So are these varieties of orcas like human race, I.e they are soft categories used to decide a large cosmopolitan population into smaller more distinct chunks for study? Or am I just misinterpreting how orca varieties work?
Title: Hypersexuality, Childhood Sexual Exposure, and the Shame I’ve Carried for 20 Years**
I want to share something publicly that I’ve carried in silence for most of my life.
From ages 1 to 13, I slept in the same room as my parents. They regularly had sex in that room while I was there. They believed I was asleep, but I wasn’t. I heard everything. I felt everything. The sex was often forced — my mother would say “stop,” and my father wouldn’t. My father was alcoholic. When he hugged me, he would whisper abusive words about my mother in my ear words like motherfucker bitch prostiute in my ears
I felt uncomfortable and scared and inappropriate and he used to carryout voices like Aah and all that .
By the time I was 8-10 something had already changed in me. I became hypersexual. I started masturbating in ways no child should even know about. By 12, I was obsessed with sexual release, regardless of gender
---
At 12, an older boy (around 14) came to my house. I was already sexually charged and confused from years of exposure. I sat on his lap and rubbed against him under my clothes. When I got down, I saw that his penis was erect and coming out of his pants. He knew I had seen it. He smiled and told me it was an “elder thing.” Instead of stopping the situation, he turned around and offered his back so I could continue rubbing against him until I discharged. He did not guide me away. He did not stop it. He allowed it and directed it. I was 12. He was older and understood more than I did.
So I donot know what to say about it
After this incident
Between 12 and 18, I had sexual experiences with boys my age. At 17, a 19-year-old pressured me to perform oral sex after telling me he knew about my past behavior. I refused, but the pressure was there.
At 16, I made a serious mistake. I kissed and hugged an 8-year-old in a way that made him uncomfortable. That should not have happened. I regret it deeply. I stopped, but I carry the shame of it.
Now I’m 32. I’ve struggled with hypersexuality, porn use, compulsive behavior, and confusion about my sexuality for over 20 years. I’ve had sex with men, women, and trans women. But I don’t believe I was “born” this way. I believe my brain and body were shaped by early sexual exposure, chaos, and trauma before I even understood what sex was.
I never had the chance to develop naturally. My childhood environment sexualized me before I knew what sexuality meant.
I’m not posting this for sympathy. I’m posting this because people are quick to label, judge, and simplify. Hypersexuality in children doesn’t appear out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s the result of an environment that no child should have to survive.
I am still trying to untangle what was trauma, what was coping, and what is actually me.
But at the end I living everyday in shame and guilt
I think only option left is to end myself
I just to tired to tired
I donot know if I have the symptoms of ptsd or cptsd
But I donot sleep my whole night
I donot eat in a day
I donot take bath on regular basis
I feel constantly heaviness in my chest area
Why is this? Some people can grow hair way past their bums. Hair flowing in the wind. Meanwhile there’s people like me whose hair refuses to grow a couple inches past the shoulders. Does it have more to do with genetics, diet, or a combination of both?
Reading a book about evolution and genetics right now. I kind of get this concept but I would love a more clear and dumbed-down explanation, and an example would also be nice.
It seems that humans killed off a very significant percentage of large land animals in the Americas when they arrived (although apparently there may have been other causes as well.)
Are there enough surviving species of animals left elsewhere in the world that we could find animals that filled analogous niches to the ones lost (for example, I've heard modern cheetahs compared to Miracinonyx) and restore the Americas to the level of biodiversity seen before the arrival of humans?
Im not a genetics expert but is it feasible for a species to evolve to require a third parent for reproduction, similar to how genetic exchange became a thing among asexually reproducing organism, creating sexual reproduction?
Also correct me if I was wrong please
Hey people, has anyone got a BSc in Biology (UK university) and has gone off to do something with a high paying job with the degree.
I’ve got a biology degree and worked in a pathology lab for a year after uni but the environment was toxic so I left. I’m currently doing a job unrelated to my degree atm and which to do my masters.
I’m pausing doing my masters because I’m unsure what to do and not as encouraged due to no guarantee of a job after that.
If anyone could advise or share their experience please. Thank you
I get how information for developing certain organs or functions etc. get passed on, but how does complex and brain-engaging processes get passed down in *organic water and oil soup droplets*?
Like how does a bird process complex information about gathering the right type of materials to build the right type of nest? Even in isolation from other birds, they are able to carry out these instructions...?
In my head, I was imagining the lungs, each having a separate muscle and separate trachaea to pass air, so as you breathe, air is constantly flowing in and out. Is this even possible?
Apparently people have laughed at me for saying this, and rudimentary googling agrees with them. However, in my biology class in the 1990s, our textbook and teacher had explicitly said that both hair and nails are known as "excretions".
This is in Australia BTW
Specifically, I’m trying to understand how the cell manages to use the energy from splitting ATP. I understand your cells split off a phosphate which releases energy that your cells use to… well, do cell stuff. What I don’t understand is how the cell takes the energy from that and does something with it- eg building a new cell.
im only 15 i wanted to study ahead instead of frying my brain to short so any book recommendations
