i agree with what you said after this, but i am curious as to why you think this idea is rubbish? i was not speaking of the entire human gene pool. you are quite right that applying these ideas on such a large scale would have no bearing, but what i said certainly applies to small groups. you can see what i was saying in action with certain immunities that have been selected for in small ethnic groups. if both men and women wanted sex just as much, these immunities would have taken much longer to come about, if they ever did.
