Chapter 13 Why do men always like young whores?

Recently I read in an English newspaper that a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl in Newcastle had made a hundred thousand pounds by working as a prostitute for a year.She leads a double life, going to school during the day and standing on the street at night. In 2007, the "Save the Children" organization pointed out in a report that there were 5,000 underage prostitutes in the UK, and three quarters of them were girls.An American newspaper reported that the number of underage prostitutes in the United States reached 10,000.It appears that we must immediately find a solution to this inhuman situation.Prostitution of children is child abuse, there is nothing wrong with that!But this is not the point I want to discuss with you.Today, the question of "why so many girls choose to become prostitutes" keeps surfacing.Faced with this situation, besides being filled with anger, I also realized another question: Why do men always like to have sex with young women or girls?To that end, I put on Darwin's glasses again.

Maybe you think this is a stupid question.It doesn't matter if you choose to marry or have an affair, it's perfectly normal for men to like younger women.Both men and women feel that this is a very common or even insignificant event, as unsurprising as an apple falling from a tree.Instead, a scientist would think that why apples fall from trees and why men prefer younger women are good questions.You don't have to be a real scientist to ask questions like this.The truth is, if we look at it another way, they are not trivial at all. What do men want from a hooker?sex.That's right, high-quality or low-quality sex?Preferably high quality.OK, so who gives the best sex, an experienced woman or an inexperienced woman?With experience, of course, there will be no second answer.Well, who has the most experience, the younger or the older woman?Of course they are older.Well, so do men choose younger or older women for entertainment?Of course it is young.certainly?How could it be of course?How to explain this?The young prostitutes are not experienced, but they are still compared with those who are experienced, that is, relatively good colleagues.Also, young prostitutes earn more money than they do.That's why that teenage kid at Newcastle was able to make that much money.We all know men can't always be sane, but here we go, pushing Darwin's glasses up our noses for a deep explanation.Human evolution can explain this phenomenon clearly.

Our ancestors must have reproduced, otherwise we would not be here.The more children they have, the better their chances of becoming our ancestors.This strategy is used in order to spread one's genes more widely than others, and at the same time, this strategy has also been approved by natural selection.One of the strategies has to do with choosing a mate.The more fertile a spouse is, the more likely it is that one's own genes will be passed on.For men, it is very important to find a partner who can live a long time.Because the longer she lives, the more offspring she can reproduce, and in a cold technical term, her reproductive value is higher.Not to be confused with fertility, which refers to a woman's ability to reproduce in the present moment; reproductive value, which refers to the future.

Women stop producing eggs after menopause, so older women can no longer have children.The further away from menopause, the higher the reproductive value of a woman.Our lewd (sorry for the word) great-great-great-grandfathers inadvertently picked up on this and started gravitating toward younger ladies when looking for a mate.More precisely, a genetically gifted man would increase his reproductive success by choosing a younger mate than a man who would choose an older female.This genetic talent has been passed down from generation to generation, so, to this day, falling in love with young women has become a common phenomenon among men.That's when they stuffed huge sums of money into the pockets of young prostitutes.

You may think I'm going a little too far with this explanation, so I've got a reliable witness to prove all this - our cousin, the chimpanzee.My cousin's wife, that is, our cousin's sister-in-law, will not go through menopause, and she can still bear children at a very old age.The result is that cousins ​​will give preference to older ladies because they are more experienced as far as breeding is concerned.The cousins ​​see young girls as worthless and sideline them, so the chimpanzee pockets the old whores with big bucks. At this point, I can already hear objections: You're right, but I didn't go to the red light district to breed, I just went to have fun!Yes, I believe so, but natural selection didn't care about having fun.Only reproductive strategies have been chosen by evolution and baked into our genes.Pleasure in sex is nothing more than evolutionary bait to stimulate the "sexuality" of humans and make reproduction a reality.If sex, mating—whatever you want to call it—was not fun, our ancestors would not have reproduced, we would not have come into this world, and they would not have been our ancestors.So it seems that when gentlemen go out to have fun with prostitutes, a set of genes that govern their reproduction is activated.Those genes wanted a younger mate and the men came to the Newcastle girl.

See, we just arrived at the answer through rational discussion, even though at first the question seemed so trivial.Through such an analysis, have things progressed?Or is it only interesting to evolutionary psychologists and behavioral biologists?Not only that, the above analysis still has a certain effect.When looking for strategies to avoid child abuse, it's a good idea to host a talk that ties into the biological roots of human sexuality.It should be pointed out in the event that the selection of young girls in sexual behavior by men is related to reproduction. If they really just want to have fun, they should still choose experienced and older women instead of harassing those young girls.Another point applies to marriage: A man of fifty should understand in his second or third marriage that reproduction is no longer important, and that a partner of the right age may bring harmony to the relationship.

Information dissemination and education from the perspective of evolution may make a great contribution to rational behavior, so that human beings will be less slaves to genes.Then I would have read something different in the English papers: perhaps about the annual income of an old whore in Newcastle.But I also know that it will be difficult to make this a reality, so let me keep dreaming!
