They all had sex with him, didn't they?

Our society is obsessed with sex and that's why there's always so much fuss about it. If we only did it once a year like most animals the world would be a lot quieter place.

The fuss about the sex seems to be a smokescreen for his smuggling of GPUs into China. That's why this is such a big deal.

What animals are you talking about?

▲iamwil a day ago | parent [-]

A lot animals have a mating season, where females are only fertile and receptive to sex during ovulation--an estrous cycle. Humans, along with a few other mammals (other primates, some bats, elephant shrews, and spiny mice) are unusual in that we have a menstrual cycle instead of an estrous cycle. Sexual desire isn't connected to a estrous cycle.

> world would be a lot quieter place

Yes because humans would go extinct if we had sex only once a year. Reproduction would become a rare occurrence beyond 15.
