So just a wish-fulfillment harem then.

It's really not, definitely worth a read

I think there were some situations that could have ended like that (reverse harem?), had he not been so well protected. Also I like that the women just largely adapted, because they had to.

His only use was protecting their future, not their present

Yeah, it could definitely have gone a different way and there were certainly actors pushing for that with various motives.

That it didn't end up that way but still touched on the topic in general made it a much better read IMO.

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.

I vaguely recall the TV show (and that it wasn't great).

Also, if any of you are old enough to remember the TV show "sliders" there was an episode that dealt with this same general scenario.

Probably tied to a machine that hmmm. Suck you dry all day long. I don't he would have much fun.

But if there was only one person with a dick alive, wouldn't it still restrict the gene pool way too much, as every child conceived after the mass disappearance of penis-owners would have the same father, and thus they would have no choice but to either reproduce with older women or their half-siblings? So I'm not sure if even that could prevent human exctinction.

I assume young girls didn't disappear. So any male children could have partners close to their age, just a little older.

For the author that's probably a fantasy, who comes up with that otherwise? Yikes though for that mental imagery 😬

It isn't and I'd like to read the sexy parody but afaik it doesn't exist.

It's somehow both feminist and whatever the male version is; it shows how direly certain careers need women, and because of it, how essential men are to society since they do work women don't as much.

One of the earliest shown characters is a woman that goes from model to ... Mass grave corpse collection/garbage truck driver
