I have just finished reading Steve Jones - Almost Like a Whale

Basically he tries nothing less than revising Darwins Origin of Species, and does a pretty good job (in my amateur scientists eyes).

One point he does raise (uh err missus) is the size of the male humans penis.

Apparently amongst the primates its HUGE (so much so that King Kong could feasibly have done the dirty with Fay Wray - now that's one remake that would be Guaranteed to make money).

The assumption is that it was a males way of attracting a mate.

It leave's it at that, but I kinda think this works, it explains so many things - for one the male obsession with the size of thier trouser snake.

(not sure if this is too low brow for evolution/creation? I leave it to the Mods).

Lots of references on primate penises
here.

"We do not know why men have conspicuous genitals, but a male chimp solicits a female by opening his legs, displaying an erect penis and flicking his phallus with a finger as he gazes at a potential partner"

It's lucky i'm in a steady relationship otherwise I might be tempted to wizz on down the local nightclub and give the ladies the eye... if you know what I mean.
Marvellous

males have exceptionally elaborate penises, and scientists think these evolved specifically because females chose those males with elaborate, sexally stimulating genitals.

And this is Chimps, spot the differance, I certainly can't.
One up for evolution then?
