Sperm Wars: Infidelity, Sexual Conflict and Other Bedroom Battles
Sperm Wars: Infidelity, Sexual Conflict and Other Bedroom Battles Books
Product Description
Robin Baker puts forward the thesis that evolution has programmed men to conquer and monopolise women even as women, without even knowing they are doing it, seek the best genetic input on offer from potential sexual partners. Facts of life presented include: 10 per cent of children are not fathered by their “fathers”, less than 1 per cent off a man’s sperm is capable of fertilizing anything – the rest is there to fight off other men’s sperm, “smart” vaginal mucus encourages some sperm but blocks others, and a woman is far more likely to conceive through a casual fling than through sex with her fixed partner. Baker describes fictionalized scences and then clarifies the science behind the actions to exhibit how our everyday behaviour fits into a pattern of evolution.

An fascinating book, but I have my doubts about the basic premise. If women are everlastingly shopping nearly for men with the very best genes, then why is the world filled with hideous, stupid people? (Let’s be honest. It is.) And why is it that something like 13 million Asian men are the descendents of a murderous psychopath like Attila the Hun? According to studies, that many men bear the same Y-chromosome, probably a result of Attila’s marauding across the countryside centuries ago. Did the women who had the misfortune to encounter Attila say, “Wow! What fantastic genes! Go ahead and kill my spouse/father/brother/son. It’s worth it to get those superior genes.” I doubt it. My other problem with the book centers nearly the author’s thought that a successful human is one who reproduces abundantly, whose genes are bestow in the generations to come. We, but, are not worms, or monkeys, or race horses. Perhaps the most successful humans are those whose thoughts (memes not genes) are bestow in future generations – such as Einstein, Newton, Edison, Darwin, Buddha.

I was hoping for something by the side of the lines of “The Moral Animal.” This book cites no sources, too much fluff, and seems like just hypothesis. I’m aware that he says that another book he published had the sources and research but that’s what I plotting I was buying.

Very informative book. I learned so much that I would’ve never guessed. The fictional tales in the book are well written and hot too!

Very fascinating book. Highly thoughtful and well written. I dont agree with everything in here, but it was fun to read, and i will never reckon of sex quite the same again. Read at your own risk!
