      That’s not it actually. Current theory is it has something to do with the overall decreased sensation of sunlight indicating it’s mating season or something. They won’t develop mature ovaries with both eyes.

        There’s also hormones they think are removed when the stalk is removed.

        But really, no animal likes being injured. And they have no idea what else is going to get cut off.

        If some other thing that’s observing humans cuts the dominant arm off a man without any access to females, they’re going to suggest doing that limits how much they want to masturbate.

        When in reality they just can’t masturbate anymore.
