In a study in Nature, reported in the Guardian, a DNA analysis shows that humans lost the genes coding for penis spines and genes that prevent excess creation of brain cells. This is compared to chimp DNA.
So, penis spines for bigger brains. Fair swap?

Penis spines would've been awesome.
But I feel Eve was punished enough.

Anything that inhibits sex. That's why they love Anne Widdecombe and Susan Boyle.

Would penis spines counteract the Rapex device?

Not sure but I hear that simply killing the bitch works wonders against it.

Humans have bigger dicks than Chimps or Gorillas. So getting the sperm to the right place is probably easier. And having no spine would probably allow the dick to shrink more when not erect, which probably makes it less prone to injury.
Making more brain cells isn't the answer to more intelligence. It's just a tiny part.
You need a bigger cranium, bigger pelvis, and the development of babies born with soft skulls. And social changes, to care for helpless babies for much longer.
