Scientists Believe They Know Why Women Evolved to Like Giving Blowjobs
They’ve looked to the animal world and the ingredients in sperm to find the answers.
I love giving head. I get off on the sensation of a man’s erect penis sliding back and forth between my lips. I adore the feeling of a man fucking my face. Giving up control is exciting to me. I’ve just never wondered why I like sucking cock so much.
I can’t get pregnant from it. There’s no biological benefit for human females evolving a literal taste for going down on men.
So why do I and other women have this affinity, evolutionarily speaking?
Scientists think they have the answers.
Where did they look for their evidence first? The animal world, of course.
Bonobo females perform fellatio on their male mates.
Bonobos are a type of chimpanzee that humans share up to 98% of our DNA with. We are thought to have evolved from bonobos.
The thing that differentiates bonobos (and us) from other animals is that they “have a lot more sex and a lot more different kinds of sex than all their nonhuman cousins,” Jack Hitt writes in his essay, “Our Orgiastic Future,” on Lapham’s Quarterly.
