    Bonobo chimps use sex to calm the males down, which allows them to live so fucking peacefully among other chimp tribes. If only contemporary society was so open to such a concept.

        Think a little less directly, meeting people’s needs vs bombing them. In the US, ~6 hours of “defense” spending could put everyone in the country on food stamps for a year

          That works, somewhat.

          But if you tell a person “I’m going to fuck you, calm down” they just call the police, or deck you in the face.

            Meanwhile the European countries with legalized brothels/prostitution dont spend enormous amounts of money on their own defense budget and are chill af to visit as a tourist.

        Yeah, we have 5000 plus years of culture engrained into us about male control of women, so women using sex to pacify males, probably won’t work.
