One of life's most pressing questions answered at last!

Scientists have finally found out why Barbary macaque monkeys yell during sex.  This article is great read, I found the part about counting pelvic thrusts quite compelling.

LOL!

But what happens when the female calls out another guy's name?

Hmmm...I know when my woman makes noise and yells out during sex ...well...it all seems to work better too! LOL!

Yeah, and you ought to see what turtles doing when mating. The male turtle lays on top of the female turtle and makes alot of noise, but not much else, and the female turtle lays beneath the male turtle and looks bored. Actually, that reminds me alot of what humans do during mating.

Sounds like the shouting is the primate version of talking dirty!  *lol*

[Yaddo 42]

Yeah, but do the female monkeys fake it sometimes so the males will finish up quicker?

[Mr. DS]

I wonder if monkeys annouce to the females when they are almost "done".   

[Yaddo 42]

Unless they're having phone sex, it seems like if they have to announce they're almost done, then they aren't doing it right.

or are really small

Monkey phone sex? That's as goofy as if that theoretical room full of monkeys with typewriters were all trying to write porn (or Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp slash fanfiction) instead of recreating the works of Shakespeare.

And with weird tangents like that, you can see why I don't need to smoke pot.

I just read the headlines, but in today's local paper, there was an article that said that monkeys apparently pay for sex. Which explains alot.
