Sex love was practiced before monogamy and male supremacy became the norm. Yet in this cycle, the focus is on enabling the egg to make the selection as a conscious evolutionary strategy.
Individuals engage in touch exchange through indirect reciprocity, functioning as a collective rather than relying on one-to-one interactions.
Functioning as a group rather than relying on one-to-one interactions. The Colorful Prince strives to emulate the arch’s physical reciprocity on a social level through nonverbal communication and committed touch messaging to increase the chance of male reproductive success.
The system constitutes a generalized touch exchange, in which an individual provides a benefit to another, who in turn receives reciprocal benefits from a third party. Such patterns characterized touch exchanges in small, close-knit communities and extended families.
Receiving indirect reciprocity signifies an individual's social value, as the giver is under no direct obligation. This act represents an energetic investment that sustains the collective network of giving.
The Colorful Prince posits that this traditional, generalized form of touch fosters integrative bonds characterized by heightened trust, affection, and solidarity, surpassing those found in contemporary forms of intimacy. According to this rationale, meaningful participation is essential. One does have skin in the game.
However, for loss-averse people, there are dangers, as indirect reciprocity is a highly risky commitment.
