The results of the research, published in the journal PLoS One, "strongly suggest that wild chimpanzees exchange meat for sex, and do so on a long-term basis," she said.

Did they really need a study to find that out?  :rolleyes: It's genetically ingrained. Go with the male that protects offspring best, feeds you. All for the benefit of the survival of the species.

Now, now, don't be sad about it. Most of us would be single if women didn't make the transition during adulthood from looking for a lover to looking for a provider. It's all good. Nature has thought things out.

Besides: Good sex always has one providing meat to the other. Tomorrow is Good Friday and Edith will prepare a veggie dish. No meat then. She'll have to make good somehow ...

I think nursie sex is kind of weird ... I'm a man of old-fashioned values, romance is really primate to me ...

"You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel..."

It's a quote, nothing more, ok...?

I tried it last night and it did not work. My wife just rolled her eyes at me. Should have gone with jewelry.

Sigh, John! Just goes to show how modern women have devolved from their basically sensible genetic imprint! Try frying it next time.
