- pfdietz 3y agoIt may have been sometime around the invention of rooms, which is back in the neolithic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87atalh%C3%B6y%C3%BCk

For example, most of our courtship is spending energy demonstrating to women that we are safe to be alone with, and for women that its worthwhile to take a chance since there is no accurately way to predict which man will do what in private. (Men are vulnerable to the same things, but its not part of our culture to prioritize that, most supporting statistics are based on an absence of stats to overamplify the stats that do exist). This makes it seem like interest in sex is far different across the sexes than is accurate. But when you increase the safety aspect in other ways, you’ll find many more women would also rather skip the courtship games since that assurance isn’t necessary.

- quickthrowman 3y agoI think this fits, implicitly anyways: “Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog.” I am unsure if this is the ‘most excellent’ Theophilus that Luke and Acts both mention.
