our primate cousins pay for porn
    #7994202 - 02/07/08 10:23 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms. The way the experiment was set up, the act is akin to paying for the images, the researchers say.

The rhesus macaque monkeys also splurged on photos of top-dog counterparts, the high-ranking primates. Maybe that's like you or me buying People magazine.

The research, which will be detailed in the March issue of Current Biology, gets more interesting.

The scientists actually had to pay these guys, in the form of extra juice, to get them to look at images of lower-ranking monkeys.

Curiously, the monkeys in the test hadn't had any direct physical contact with the monkeys in the photos, so they didn't have personal experience with who was hot and who was not.

I'm calling this way too good to be true unless you have an article you can link to.

Why wouldn't you believe this. It makes perfect sense to me. These instincts that drive us are deeply rooted in us. We can not deny this.


I cant believe there was money given for this study

Of course there was money given for this study. People love this kind of shit, and I assume they made a convincing case to the funding body for how this would contribute to our wealth of knowledge on evolutionary psychology... which it does.

The hilariously humanlike things primates are found to do in studies is one of my alltime favourite things to hear about.:yesnod:

Does anyone have an article link about the chimp who, having not been taught any signs for calling someone a bad word, strung together the phrase "you are a runny green shit" when she was mad at her handler? I love that anecdote and I'd love a link to the story. :thumbup:

Plus, they are smart enough to PAY for porn, rather than getting viruses on their computers by attempting to get it for free!  :smile:

Deary, If monkeys had computers I can guarantee that they would try and get free porn. You just don't understand the male mind I guess.:monkeydance:

If the monkeys had to FIX the computers every time they got a virus, they might think twice about the cost of "free" porn.  :wink:

That's why monkeys have friends that understand how to fix computers. :monkeydance:

I only play pinball and watch movies on my computer. But Hue will build me a killer computer if mine ever breaks. Then if I get internet he will be my tech guy.
