Oh yeah i love looking at those 70s pics!

But anyways it doesnt really matter whether we are getting more attractive or not because soon there wont be a need for attraction to lubricate the wheels of reproduction.

Sex will become more and more a recreational activitiy as opposed to necessity for survival of the species.

We already have IV and theoretically we could manage humanities reproductive cycle without anyone having sex at all. Im not suggesting this just saying its technically feasible.

And for how long will women want to carry babies arounf for 9 months in theur gut? I predict within 500 years women will have the choice of bringing their child to term in some sort of incubator.

If i was a woman i would prefer that. No stretch marks etc :-)

I don't have all data, but I suspect this is already true, and probably has been for a very long time.

Maybe a lot sooner than that. Artificial wombs have already been used to give birth to goats and other large mammals, but there are sometimes medical complications. Once the process becomes less risky, it may become a viable option for human birth.

I bet even when this is available you will get women who refuse and want to give birth normally. A bit like women insisteing on breastfeeding their babies in public :-)

Women might feel unwanted if we have incubators that do the job.

I'm hoping you're not serious...
