Your Man’s Schlong Was Almost a Weapon

For those of you that have experienced a ginormous schlong, you might already think that you’ve seen penile weaponry. Fortunately, we modern women (and gay men), only have to deal with size as an issue but evolution almost screwed us over in a much bigger way. Dicks almost had spikes on them, like roses with thorns. F’realz:

…biologists at Stanford University believe that evolution (and monogamy) prevented man from having small, hard spines on their penises. These “pricks,” for lack of a better word, are found on the genitalia of male chimpanzees.

So why did evolution spare modern man? Monogamy. The spikes act as an aggressive, homegrown spermicide; removing ejaculate left behind by other chimps (thank God for condoms, amiright?). Since man is instinctively less promiscuous than ape, homo sapiens were able to enter the Paleolithic era sans spiked shaft.
