Your Hands Were Made For Punching According To New Study

They are capable of delicate surgery, creating beautiful works of art, and comforting someone feeling down, but according to a new study your hands evolved to smash someone in the face. From the article: "Human hands evolved so that men could make fists and fight, and not just for manual dexterity, new research finds. The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, adds to a growing body of evidence that humans are among the most aggressive and violent animals on the planet. 'With the notable exception of bonobos, great apes are a relatively aggressive group of mammals,' lead author David Carrier told Discovery News. 'Although some primatologists may argue that chimpanzees are the most aggressive apes, I think the evidence suggests that humans are substantially more violent.''"

Spoken like somebody who knows nothing and just spouts off on 'intuition' ...

I'm not going to dig it up for you, but I recall that a study demonstrated that regular masturbation actually made all the sperm produced by the individual healthier (increased motility, decreased deformity) albeit at lower counts. Quality over quantity should be the order of the day anyway, considering it's only one in the end that gets the egg.
