  Magnesium threonate cured my insomnia, it's fucking wild how well it works. I'd tried everything until I discovered it, from melatonin, to antihistamine sleeping pills, all the way to downing 350ml of whiskey every night just to force sleep.

  Magnesium works better than every single thing I've tried (but you HAVE to let yourself fall asleep when you feel it starting to work.)

  Early 30's here. I was at a small gathering my best mate put together about a year ago, and his 19 year old nephew was there. He expressed his interest in anime and we got chatting. While showing me some newer anime-related TikTok stuff (I have no social media myself and haven't really kept up with modern anime), I heard some fucking awesome 'aggressive trap' stuff and asked him who the artist was. It was Lil' Darkie and I was immediately hooked. I went down a rabbit hole searching his best stuff as well as other similar artists, and now have a huge playlist of great music I'd have never discovered on my own.

  imo music discovery is a pretty organic process for most people. It's cultural and spreads via word of mouth. Chatting with younger people may be the best way to go, but understand that the youth rightfully don't want us in their spaces lmao

  Audibly encouraging fights among males literally ties into the theory. The hypothesis is that female moaning attracts nearby males, the males want to procreate, but only one male's genetics are going to actually form a child, and it is in the species' best interests for that child to contain the DNA of the most-likely-to-survive and procreate male. It doesn't matter whether the guys all form an orderly queue to some daily gangbang (which was absolutely NOT the case), or start fighting amongst themselves to be the only one with a chance (which includes the possibility that another had ejaculated inside her prior to this) - the purpose of her vocalizing was to encourage males in the area to compete, especially if she's already in the middle of the act. There's enough merit here to suggest further study into the area, especially given that neither of our theories are proven.

  You seem to be fixated on an argument I've not made, and I may not have worded it clearly enough. I'm not suggesting that primitive human females started moaning in an attempt to initiate a gangbang because cave-dwelling women were insatiable whores or wherever. I'm suggesting that those vocalizations were a method to incite breeding competition between males in the area, and that this lead to natural selection.

  Except there is clearly a potential link that deserves further study to come to a conclusion? There's more credibility backing this being a possible origin than there is to the argument "stupid horny male scientists like thinking about caveman gangbangs. Social construct, guys."

  I'd like to hear an actual counter theory that isn't hiding behind identity politics or an emotional response. I've already stated that this hypothesis isn't concrete fact, but you're being willfully ignorant if you don't believe there's any merit to it.

  OP asked a question, I (and a few others) posted a possible answer. The pushback against this theory in particular seems to stem not from a place of reason, but from a place of emotion. I'd love to see genuine refutation to this theory, because it certainly isn't concrete fact, but when the only thing I see is "lol stupid horny men and their fantasies" and "where are the WOMEN on this scientific study?" you'll have to excuse me if I don't think they're worth entertaining as good faith rebuttals.

  Get a load of all the people calling bullshit on my comment lmao. I'm amazed at all these 15 year olds refusing to believe the female sexual experience is anything other than some social construct that mEn forced upon the western world.

  I didn't just make this up, it's a legitimate hypothesis. Someone else posted a wiki link to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_copulatory_vocalizations)

  Not everything is some patriarchal social conditioning conspiracy, dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't know how I know the answer to this, and I'll try to keep it brief, but here goes:

  This goes wayyyyyyy back into our past as human beings. Women largely vocalize more than men during sex as a way to signal to other males in the area that sex is happening and that they should join in. It's encouragement for the male, but it goes deeper (heh) than that - the human penis is quite large as far as body to dick ratio for animals goes, and there are two reasons for that; the head is designed to 'scoop' competing males' semen out with each thrust in preparation for replacing it with the dick-haver's own, while the longer shaft allows deeper penetration in order to scoop as much as possible.

  So basically, when a woman moans loudly, it's signifying she's ready to go, and that the strongest male in a group will be the one to eventually impregnate her. It's literally a survival of the fittest mechanism.

  Now obviously that isn't the reason for it these days, as we're all aware that our intelligence as a species makes sex a vastly more complex thing than it is for other animals at this point in our evolutionary path, but that's what researchers believe is the origin of sexy female noises.

  I have been thinking about giving cannabis a go again lately, but I'm honestly pretty frightened of the stuff nowadays. I was fine with it for years, but it slowly started manifesting thoughts of existentialism, consciousness, the nature of reality, and solipsism, among other deeply-unanswerable questions. It got to the point where almost immediately after the effects came on, I'd become paralyzed with fear over the fact that anything exists at all, but I kept using it because it helped my insomnia better than anything else.

  I've only recently come out of that existential crisis after two years of really having to work on myself to get back to where I was before that, which for the most part, I am. The only lingering change is that my firm atheism was shattered and I now find myself seeing the universe, consciousness and death very differently (largely in a good way.)

  I want to get along with weed, but it's just too much for me. I have ADHD, and all it does is make me think even more than I already do, as one errant thought will always send me down a cascading sequence of increasingly more terrifying philosophical possibilities about the universe and nature of infinity. Alcohol manifests itself as pure bliss and anti anxiety. It allows me to actually switch off for a few hours and then sleep.

  Trust me, I wish I could love cannabis, but I just don't think it's worth the risk for me personally. I've never had a drug fuck me up so hard mentally (and I've previously experimented with psychedelics and dissociatives as a younger guy.) There's something about THC specifically that fucks me up.

  Nightly drinking. At this point, I don't know what life was like before I started, and as much as I know I'm shortening my life, I actually really enjoy the daily stress relief.

  I don't smoke, vape, trip, weed triggers psychotic thought patterns, take anything else. I enjoy having something to lean on. We're all dying, some of us slightly faster than others, by choice. I don't think a couple whiskeys a night is all that bad, all things considered. The world is moving in a direction I'm not compatible with on a deeply personal level anyway, so fuck living until 80.

  This dystopian nightmare we're moving into is actually making me suicidal. There's no way to escape it anymore. You just can't. I feel completely incompatible with the direction the world is moving, and I'm finding it difficult to remain optimistic that people will revolt. It seems ANYTHING for slight convenience at the cost of personal privacy, autonomy and ability to maintain a barrier between yourself and the government/corporations is just accepted by the average person, and I feel I'm fighting a losing battle.
