Two Women: Maybe They’ll Kiss…

Universally, men want to see two women hook up. I’d guess that such a large percentage of heterosexual men want this that it has to be in our genes somewhere. The “Girl-on-Girl” gene, or GOG.

My question is, why? What is the evolutionary function of man’s desire to see two women make out? How does that aid in our survival at a primal level?

In fact, I could see it hurting our chances of survival. Imagine two cavemen hunters stalking a sabertooth tiger upwind. They creep silently through the brush, eyes trained on their prey. Just before they’re within range, one grabs the other by the shoulder. He points to a faraway waterhole.

“Ock, they’re bathing each other!”

“Grog, shh. Maybe they’ll kiss.”

I’d imagine this scenario ending with both hunters being eaten by the tiger.

And yet mankind survived. Somehow those cavemen actually benefited from wanting their cavewomen to hook up. I was talking with my friend Arianna about this tonight, and she helped me come up with the following theories:

  1. One girl is good, therefore two must be doubly good. Simple caveman math.
  2. Men like to imagine themselves in the situation, but don’t really want to see another dude or his dudely parts (so, therefore, they can put themselves in the place of one of the girls and it’s a lot easier to handle).
  3. Men are lazy. Sure, we could start kissing one of the women, but then we’d have all this work to do. Why do work if another woman will do it for you? Another guy could do it too, but see theory number 2.

What do you think? What is the evolutionary purpose of man’s desire to see girl-on-girl?
