A recent study on long-tailed macaque monkeys revealed that "Male monkeys pay for sex" by grooming the females so this barter for sex is part of our genetic code. How evolution and natural selection account for this perverse screw up is one for the ID types to ponder.

The part I cut in paste here has been left out of most versions of the article for OBVIOUS reasons:

"On average, females had sex 1.5 times per hour.

But this rate jumped to 3.5 times per hour immediately after the female had been groomed by a male -- and her partner of choice was likely to be the hunky monkey that did the grooming.

Market forces also acted on the value of the transaction.

If there were several females in the area, the cost of buying sex would drop dramatically -- a male could "buy" a female for just eight minutes of nit-picking.

But if there were no females around, he would have to groom for up to 16 minutes before sex was offered. "

That's right folks, 1.5 times an hour WITHOUT BEING PAID!!!

Clearly, I there has been some kind of mistake and I have been assigned to the wrong monkey species. The other apes are just as bad. There was even an orangutan who put the moves on Julia Roberts on a PBS show. You shouldn't tease apes or tigers but at least the tigers will only eat you.

No ointment is going to solve the problem because without sexual dysfunction and frustration men wouldn't have to work in order to get sex and just ask any republican commentator what that leads too. (president obama?)

Give me a time machine so i can go back to the 70s before oprah, dr. phil and the pharmaceutical companies despoiled our womenfolk with their theraphyphilic and misandrist propaganda.

When you have been taught to hate both your sex and the other one it becomes a problem.

HERE! RUB SOME CREAM ON IT!

They will sell you a tube for 200 dollars and if it doesn't work it's because you are genetically predisposed to the condition. Yeah, that's the ticket, just like the other snake oils.

You know, sometimes people want to have sex because they like or love somebody rather than just use it to get something. You may call me a dreamer, but i'm not the only one . . . .

rabid right wing racists with use the same old formulas in the event of his nomination - race will make a difference because people are stupid and the stereotypes have been well reenforced by the media, the news and racist commentary to the degree that by simple associations all matter of negative charge may be developed at whatever target is chosen. the notion that society is threatened by race, music, sexual behavior, religion and more is pretty well established down to a science.

most people prefer being talked to by someone rather than reading something. most communication is not strictly verbal, but facial cues, inflections, harmonics, accents, volume and body language which cannot be conveyed in text form.

more people go to a movie of a book than read the book.

she gives a great job of presenting one with the illusion that she is actually talking to the viewer. that's all you need.

Monkey lover reminds me of another phrase and it wasn't I who had the task of watching these apes go at it and taking notes.

HELLO PEOPLE, the active ingredient in this cream is testosterone. You think there may be some alternative to buying it? Can you think of another source? Here is a clue, you can't buy it in the store. People that have it are often willing to give it away for free. Where do you think the pharmaceutical company got the idea for this from?

This is the planet of the apes. Stupid ones. They'll make billions selling that cream.

"Use it or lose it." - Then they can sell it back to you.

One brays "hee" and the other brays "haw".

You can't hate others without hating yourself.

i have a couple of stalkers. it isn't funny.

what you did is a breech. people can disagree but when you invite harassment you establish exactly what kind of individual you are.

people have totally different perspectives based upon where they are coming from, what they have experienced and what they perceive. the extremes of negatives one perceives in others are generally contained within one's self to which one is oblivious. Mote, Beam, been said before..

Oh, it's the lowest common denominator, Cary has finally achieved it!

Lot of money and effort riding on the "hope" and the "miracle" of a win by a stealth war candidate blowing in on the winds of "change".

Why do all the voters seem to want war do damn much? You would think they couldn't get enough of it the way they vote.

It is so exciting seeing which warbucks candidate will lead us into victory. It is about time that a lady be in charge of our wars. That will be a victory for women everywhere.

Well, except for those in those countries that we bomb, invade and occupy.

Stupid male pundits.

You refer to it as an illustration and it is labeled an illustration but I think that is the wrong word. Caricature seems to be the appropriate word since it seems to have captured the essence of the crying trait and exagerated it, but there is little more to say for the work since without knowing that Hillary had almost had a teary moment the other day, I would have assumed that it was Bonnie Hunt.

"Give me a caricature of Clinton bawling like a little girl and make it QUICK. Be sure to make her look bad or you'll be doing your artwork in Times Square again."

Bill Clinton was one of the best republican presidents we have had in a long time. He undid a lot of what that pesky liberal Nixon did.
