Monkeys Pay for Monkey Porn

An anonymous reader writes "Give a monkey some spending money, and he'll blow it on pictures of women monkeys. He'll also pay to see dominant monkeys. But you'll have to pay him to look at inferior monkeys. That's the upshot of a study out of Duke that was designed to explore the 'social machinery of the brain with an eye toward helping autism patients.' Next up -- seriously -- the researchers want to run the same test on Joe Sixpack (sans the monkey business)."

Speaking as a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant... don't stick this on us!

I was raised Anglican in England and our level of puritanical hypocrisy (to steal a phrase) is nothing compared to our departed republican cousins across the Pond... I'm quite happy with physical non-sexual contact with other men.

(In response to another branch of the thread: I'm an academic, too!)

I think you mean gay.

Do you consider yourself heterosexual then... without having even proven it, little boy?
