Why do men feel the need to spread their seed before they die?

[ninjafemme]

A guy i saw on facebook said before he died he wanted to give his sperm to a bank. And now they have used it. And he said his done his part in the world.

From a purely purely biological point of view, its the aim of all lifes to passe their genes into the next generation. Thats the reason why we have a sex drive. A man passes his genes to the next generation by spreading his seed.


I once read that evolutionary biologists distinguish 2 different types of men:


Type 1: is the "seduction type". Women want to have sex with him because he has a high testosteron level which signals to the woman that he has „good genes“ and the woman wants to secure these genes for her offsprings. but women do not want him as a long-term partner cause they fear, that he will most likely cheat and move on to the next woman. They assume this, based on his high testosteron level because the likeliness to cheat and the amount of sex partners correlates with the testosteron level of a man. And thats exactly his strategy. He tries to spread his genes as much as possible by sleeping with as many women as possible and moving from woman to woman. He does not help to raise the children when the woman becomes pregnant, but leaves her. Therefore the chances of survival of the offspring of this man were not very high. However, since he has impregnated many women, some have survived and he has successfully passed on his genes.


Type 2 is the "provider type". He is not as sexually attractive to women as type 1 and with this man the woman would rather have a long-term relationship than sex (his genes). He lives a monogamous life and tries to pass his genes on to the next generation by getting only one woman pregnant, but helps to raise the offspring and makes sure that the offspring survives.

Sounds to me that the ideal mix is type 2 who donates his sperm to a sperm bank too. Yay !

Spread their seed 😂😂
The only seeds that i spread last night were roasted and salted sunflower seeds i ate like 200 grams, maybe i'm a parrot 🤣🤣

I think that such guys are desperate, in my book...1st comes love, than marriage, than spreading the seed to the wife and a baby will be made from their love togethee and after all that i'll still get the biggest slice of pizza because i'm the man of the house and the kawaii ninja girl will get the smaller one because her tummy cannot take large poetions of pizza 😜

That’s how humans are wired. There’s this innate drive to spread our DNA and make sure we have offspring.

With all due respect, women have this drive too, they’re just a lot more picky finding the right sperm / dna as they’re roughly for 18y busy with raising the kid.

Kids that are cared for by two parents do better than kids that have a single partner in general, therefore women prefer the stable man that stays around after impregnation to also help with the child and even her during childbirth time. For men this is genetically also a better strategy as these kids will be often more successful than the kids he ‘fathered’ with other women he left.

And then came religion and society that made whole moral concepts around it :-)

Because the fact that your ancestors survived so long through so many things and were able to pass down their genes all the way to you is such an amazing thing, the chance of it happening is also so small it's almost nonexistent. So to have a whole tree of genes and history die with someone is extremely sad.

Primitive.
Men are males and that is what males do. Humans can choose what they want to do, but still males nonetheless. We are supposed to reproduce.

[Jjpayne]

It's their legacy. It helps them to live on... I think with women it's passing on their eggs

[xENIGMAx]

Stop with the men bs. Obviously something’s horribly wrong with your choices in men.

[venomhbk1313]

Sometimes if a man doesn't have an heir they want to make sure that they do in case something happens to him

[COMMODOREII]

It is in our genetic makeup to pass our genetic code to our off spring.

[KrakenAttackin]

What you ask is hard wired into us, just like wanting to have a child is into you.

[mrgspoter]

Yeah that makes sence but I haven't really thought about it too much till this age

[Sylvanas_Windrunner]

Thats the purpose of being a man

[ninjafemme]

And this is what you guys think

[Anonymous]

Because reproduction makes dopamine go brrrrr

[ninjafemme]

No no this is all wrong

[stuntbrain]

Natural selection demands genetic propagation

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Its a built in nature for humans to reproduce.
