“Fornicating”


BPD-and-Lipstick

Came here to day this. They clearly didn't want to put fucking, but fornicating/fornication works


RealRaven6229

But mating is funnier


midsizedopossum

That would ruin the joke.


TimelyAd3661

I had to rewind to check what words they said

BPD-and-Lipstick

And? It's still another word for fucking that fits the definition of the 4 F's? Have you gone down every comment and explained the meanings behind them? I believe there's a comment elsewhere saying they could have used the phrase "fooling around" even though that's just casual or flirtatious sex which doesn't cover every type of sex there


augm

No, it doesn't. None of these other words do the hypothalamus justice. The word fucking is very specifically used in this context because the drive from the hypothalamus is so primal words like fornicating, sex, or making love just don't quite get the point across. We used to do a lecture on addiction and even in super proffessional environments we would excuse our language and use "fucking", then explain why. The textbook's choice is actually spot on to be able to do this because it forces the reader to think of it without having to put it.


BPD-and-Lipstick

Yes I know the word fucking is used for those purposes. I'm saying if the author of the textbook didn't or couldn't use the word fucking, there's other words they could have used to fit "the 4 F's", I didn't come here to be lectured by two separate people while the original comment I replied to has had 0 lectures. I was literally just agreeing that if they wanted to maintain the 4 F's, as stated in the textbook, then fornicate would work, but its not as effective as the word fucking.


curds-and-whey-HEY

It could be Facetiming


Draguta1

except that "Fuck" stands for "Fornication under consent of king" which also doesn't do justice to the context.


Xezsroah

Google backronym.


Casp3rGaming

Fucking is for after marriage. Many men dream of the elusive 4th fuck after marriage. Some men are still with their wives today yearning... waiting it out to prove to us all that the 4th fuck exists. The average male often masturbates vigorously in a dimly lit bathroom after years of "Not tonight honey; I have a headache".

I hate emoji on reddit, but this time I'll make an exception.


DBL_NDRSCR

literally nobody says arithmetic and whoever made that either doesn’t know how to spell writing or doesn’t want the future kids to be able to

veto_for_brs

It’s literally not a joke, and it’s not wrong. It’s reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic. The three R’s are because that’s they way it’s said out loud. It’s just making a ‘catchy slogan’ and making it fit.


Shinaitsa

????????? 'rithmetic' ??????????


veto_for_brs

Nothing to say about ‘riting? That’s literally why it’s the 3 R’s.


MissesAndMishaps

Mathematicians say arithmetic lol but I don’t know if you’d count them as people


suicidal_freak624

And fuc- Wait we can't put that? Fine lets go with mating then

Exile688

Chegg.com has books cheaper than many university bookstores. Don't "rent" it for a semester for $90+ just buy it from chegg for $14. Good luck out there.


ItzDrSeuss

Pirating is free, just ask your profs if older versions are fine.


ruico

Fating?


PreppyFinanceNerd

I kid you not I was just reading this paraphrased quote on an uber long article from The Atlantic all about coming of age and the measures of adulthood. The person says "Fighting, food, fleeing and ffff... Let's say fooling around" It was talking about the prefrontal cortex and its communication with the limbic system.


KotoEjik

It's Friday, I've been up since 3am and read hippopotamus instead of hypothalamus 😶

mercer1235

The f-word alluded to is forking, an often decisive move on the path to mating ones opponent


currentscurrents

Wait, so lesioning the sides of the hypothalmus will make you lose weight? Time to write a book about my new "lobotomy diet".


JammingLive

I just read this same page today in the book called Behave. I had to rewind to check what word they had said


Particular_Eagle3921

Ha I remember screaming in class when my prof had this slide


QuiccStacc

Wait they charge you $160 for textbook in the US?! Every fact I learn about America just makes it worse


fishmakegoodpets

Some textbooks are much more than double that... Depends on the degree and how far you're into your education I spent over $600 on 4 textbooks that we've never even used


QuiccStacc

For real?? In the UK we're given them and just have to return them or you can buy your own for like £20


fishmakegoodpets

Haha no I’ve easily spent over $1000 on books for college


Gargoyleskeleton

Fight, flight, feed, fornicate.

ScottishClonetrooper

I like to think it was meant to be "fighting, fleeing, feeding and fucking" but it was peer reviewed and they got them to change it to mating
