If we could barely arrange to have enough sex to cause 2 pregnancies per lifetime, then we would have a revulsion of condoms, oral sex, etc.
If that were true in the ancestral environment, and we had access to contraception in the AE, yes. I doubt a person who now found themselves in this situation would develop this revulsion.
I’ve read about africans who specificly get hungry for meat, who identify the specific feeling of protein deficiency.
[anecdote] Is this surprising? I’ve always been able to tell whether or not I need proteins/carbohydrates/fat (usually acting accordingly), and kind of assumed other people had the same sense. Of course, this is a fairly weak sense; calorie-rich food still tastes good when I’ve had too much, and it still takes willpower to stop eating it. [/anecdote]
TAWME, but I’m not sure if it is a consciously learned introspective behavior or something that I just picked up or developed without effort. FWIW I’ve only really noticed and acted on it for the last year or two.

What does “TAWME” mean?
“This Agrees With My Experience”.
