Don't know history and laugh at someone else, brehs

How is he the one who doesn't know history, when you're the one claiming people weren't deviants in the past

Quit all that fake militancy BS

Black folk before we met white people were some kind of innocent flower that lived in a fairy tale?

Our ancestors only had sex with one partner huh?

Let me guess, white people invented infidelity and masturbution?

Slow as shyt, but laughing up a storm.

The absence of masturbation among Aka and Ngandu men and women may be more surprising, and perhaps also harder to explain. Recall that the Hewletts did not find that masturbation is "frowned upon or punished," but rather that there is just no general conception of it. This finding recalls a much-discussed 2010 Behavioral and Brain Sciences paper called "The WEIRDest people in the world?" in which the authors argued that far too many sweeping claims about "human nature" are drawn exclusively from samples of Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies.

Studies of small-scale, rural, non-Western cultures like the Aka and Ngandu paint a more complicated picture of human variation. The Hewletts remark that, "the Western cultural emphasis on recreational sex has ... led some researchers to suggest that human sexuality is similar to bonobo apes because they have frequent non-reproductive sex, engage in sex throughout the female cycle, and use sex to reduce social tensions." But, the Hewletts suggest, "The bonobo view may apply to Euro-Americans (plural), but from an Aka or Ngandu viewpoint, sex is linked to reproduction and building a family." Where sex is work, sex may just work differently.

Where Masturbation and Homosexuality Do Not Exist

When sex means reproduction, certain proclivities may simply not be part of models of sexuality.
