moiety: mew happy monday all, how goes?
mircea_popescu: You’d think this would be paradise for the males. Wrong. Every male chimp is a cuckold. Chimp alpha males are in a tizzy, running around trying to stop secret copulations between females and lower-ranking males, but the female drive for sexual variety outwits the male chimps while they are busy fighting. Alphas can only control one or two of these nymphomaniacs at once, who throw themselves on male penises every time
mircea_popescu: the alpha male’s back is turned. Males can only strategize for a higher percentage of copulations, never for faithfulness. When a chimp female in heat presents her posterior to a male, there could be any number of different guys’ sperms already swimming around in there.
mircea_popescu: This is why primatologists never watch TV. When females go into estrus, the chimp-offs are pure entertainment. It’s funny, violent, full of chases and trickery, and it’s X-rated—imagine a pornographic Three Stooges– and the researchers get to claim that counting erections is scientific research.
