      Interesting q. Anyone know? Does seem like a (biologically) costly design flaw.https://twitter.com/andrewshtulman/status/1030839493908029440 …

      Psychologists make a big deal of the fact that we can’t tickle ourselves, citing it as evidence of specialized neural circuitry for differentiating expected sensations from unexpected ones, but why then can we masturbate?

      It's only a flaw if the existence of masturbation threatens procreation in any functional way. Population statistics don't suggest this.

      I mean masturbation is certainly useless and costly. Costs might be relatively small but still there. Time wasted on regular basis. Partners (or community) often sanction the behavior.

      Wow, there's a lot of subtext to what you're saying here! Individual benefit vs. societal benefit is a zero sum game? DNA does not serve the collective, man, it uses it. Your concept about where "cost" is derived from is not a universally accepted agreement.

      (Which is where just part of the complexity of evolution arises in the first place. Follow that and you'll find the answer to your question.)

      Moshe is a professional researcher of evolutionary dynamics; I doubt that your off-the-cuff remark contains something he has not considered yet...

          Though I'm curious as to why you have an interest in trying to suppress my behavior? Isn't it a net good to voice existing miscomprehensions so to rectify them?
