Sorry, I thought this thread was about my ex's sex life. Tongue

A few good points have been made here. Familial and social functions are somewhat offshoots of the mating function. What males contribute to reproduction says little of what they contribute to the species. To say that females procreating without males is a positive is to look at reproduction as the sole function of human beings. Sure, some species just reproduce and die. Human beings are too long-lived for that. Besides, sex is fun.

As for females reproducing faster without males, that is definitely not a good thing.
