Two things:  unc!tim is right, quite a few *humans* (my emphasis) have
yet to make the connection between immediate sexual activity and birth
~270 days later.  Some tribes, however, advocate standing in tubs of
HOT water for a few hours before having sex:  germ cell production is
reduced by heat in the human male.  Question:  how did they figure all
that out?

Also:  I support the view that sex was created not only for reproduction,
but to give the primitive men (and women?) an incentive to drag heavy items
of food back to children too young to forage, and their pregnant/nursing
mothers, who probably also stayed behind.  Playboy had a rather amusing,
but sexist article called "The Procreation Myth" a while back; has anybody
else read it, or something similar?
