Chimpanzees Exchange Meat For Sex

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-do-I-get-for-a-cheeseburger dept.

the_therapist writes "A team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, studied chimps in the Tai Forest reserve in Ivory Coast and discovered that chimpanzees enter into 'deals' whereby they exchange meat for sex. Among the findings are that 'male chimps that are willing to share the proceeds of their hunting expeditions mate twice as often as their more selfish counterparts.' They also found this to be 'a long-term exchange, so males continue to share their catch with females when they are not fertile, copulating with them when they are.'"

    Vegetarians are not as good in bed. Remember there is always something ferocious with a chick that can down a good helping of a steak or two.

    I'm a real user, but I troll with the "Post Anonymously" ticked. I always sign my posts, though, because that's what gay niggers do!

    You are full of shit. My ex was a veg and she was incredibly cock-hungry and would swallow and demand more; getting in bed with her is an at-your-own-risk proposition, and your dick might be too sore to stand up for days, if your balls haven't exploded from being so overworked. That kind of girl will have you making closer friends just to get a break _
