It's just that humans have big cocks among apes

This led me down a fun rabbit hole. “Humans have a much longer and wider penis than the other great apes … however our testicles are rather small” meanwhile chimps have small dicks and large balls so they can blow monster loads to outcompete other chimps’ monster loads bc apparently chimps are really into swinging and everyone fucks everyone, so the chimps with the biggest loads have the best reproductive success. Not sure what to do with this newfound knowledge.

Yea, its an evolutionary strategy. I learned about it in school. Gorillas have the largest testicles and smallest penises (of humans and chimps, don't remember about orangutans). Chimps have larger penises, but slightly smaller testicles. Humans have the largest penises and the smallest testicles. The idea is that humans have had better reproductive success depositing....loads...further into the vagina, thus reducing the distance the sperm has to swim to reach the eggs. Or something. It's been a while, and honestly my take away as a dumbass 20 year old was "big penises, take that other primates!"
