Question

Why do humans copulate in private while the other animals do it in public?

Answer 1

Humans have a higher brain function and can make choices. Animals are just animals and don't stop to think about where they should do it, they just do it.

Answer 2

Who copulates in private?

Answer 3

well, not all of the animals do it in public and not everyone (us humans) do it in private... just see your answers!... anyway, camels for instance will never copulate in public they do it in private, and if youre unfortunate enough to found two camels doing it, lets just hope you can outrun them or you're toast (this is true!!!)

Answer 4

It all started in The Garden of Eden, when God cast Adam and Eve out and they were ashamed. Since then it's been society that has made humans feel like having sexual encounters in places other than private bedrooms "taboo". I understand it's illegal, but it would definitely make love-making much more fun. We should never feel ashamed of embracing love in all of it's forms. Embrace life. Embrace love. Nature is all around us. We should take advantage of what God gave us.

Answer 5

There are many things that differentiate people from animals. We wear clothes. We build machines and housing. We prepare food for consumption. This is just the tip of the iceberg. To even compare people to animals is ludicrous.

Answer 6

People deficate in private too, unlike animals. Let's just keep some things to ourselves.

Answer 7

some people get a rush out of doing things in public places ;)

Answer 8

We use better judgement and most people don't like everybody seeing them doing something so private.

Answer 9

A lot of it has to do with societal traditions, fear of being viewed and critiqued. I have performed the act in open places and it's very primal and X-cellent!

Humans are aware of what they are doing Animals just do what is their destiny
