        I think there were some situations that could have ended like that (reverse harem?), had he not been so well protected. Also I like that the women just largely adapted, because they had to.

        His only use was protecting their future, not their present

          Yeah, it could definitely have gone a different way and there were certainly actors pushing for that with various motives.

          That it didn’t end up that way but still touched on the topic in general made it a much better read IMO.

        But if there was only one person with a dick alive, wouldn’t it still restrict the gene pool way too much, as every child conceived after the mass disappearance of penis-owners would have the same father, and thus they would have no choice but to either reproduce with older women or their half-siblings? So I’m not sure if even that could prevent human exctinction.

          I assume young girls didn’t disappear. So any male children could have partners close to their age, just a little older.

        For the author that’s probably a fantasy, who comes up with that otherwise? Yikes though for that mental imagery 😬
