Earlier this evening myself and my pal were talking about the history of design and somewhere in the conversation it got onto human design and there the comparison between male and female forms. The female form is all sort of protected, anything of importance is inside, but the male, the most vulnerable parts and perhaps the most important as to the furtherment of our species is outside the body and there very vulnerable to all kinds of dangers. The conversation went, that if mankind was designed by a greater entity, then man as in male, must have been either a prototype or a design disaster.
Like, what sort of designer would design such a superb device as a human being and leave the important parts outside the protection of the body, the male genitalia, the testes, they being outside because inside the heat of the body would hinder that all important process that was important to the species. One cannot help but think that idea putting the goolies outside was the design fuck up, a case of oops, we forgot about that, which begs the question, was the law of life written before the design of us, the external parts even becoming an afterthought, or even a compromise made by a bad designer.
Now, my pals are weird like me, we got onto thinking how the design could be improved and came up with all sorts of ideas, some of them logical and sensical, but others just plain stupid, so I wonder if anyone else has pondered the design of us.
So, the question, male or female, if you were able to improve on the design of the human body, what would you incorporate and what would you leave out ?
