Robert Harley: >It is perfectly obvious that (heterosexual) promiscuity is exactly, >precisely identical between males and females. Yeah, assuming approximately equal populations. But that obscures the different modes of promiscuity. Both the person who gives sex for money or power or companionship and the person who uses money and power and companionship to get sex are promiscuous, in the broadest sense of the word. But their motives and behavior are quite different. Langur monkeys were the example in the cited article. "Dominant males .. kill babies that are not their own." "The dominant male monkey .. seeks to defend his harem of females." But cozying up to the current dominant male isn't the best strategy for female langurs, because "dominant males are dethroned by rivals every 27 months or so." "By mating with as many extra-group males as possible, female langurs ensure their offspring against infanticide," by the male who is likely next to rule the roost. Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't paint a picture of carefree females engaged in joyously promiscuous couplings. The dom cab driver who is taking her two boy toys to New Orleans is a better picture of that. ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
