Study Reveals Why Monkeys Shout During Sex

[Gman]

Female monkeys may shout during sex to help their male partners climax, research now reveals.

Without these yells, male Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) almost never ejaculated, scientists found.

Female monkeys often utter loud, distinctive calls before, during or after sex. Their exact function, if any, has remained heavily debated.

Counting pelvic thrusts

To investigate the purpose behind these calls, scientists at the German Primate Center in Göttingen focused on Barbary macaques for two years in a nature reserve in Gibraltar.

The researchers found that females yelled during 86 percent of all sexual encounters. When females shouted, males ejaculated 59 percent of the time. However, when females did not holler, males ejaculated less than 2 percent of the time.

what Jesus or whomever you follow said to do. It is just doing for doing's sake. It is more like a job than a passionate endeavor for so many and that is the saddest part of all.

"I'm just a GOT DAMNED PIECE of PAPER, George! Put FOOD on me!"

27. Jeb!... Jeb!... Jeb!!!!!! nt

30. Bill!... Bill!... Bill!...

[Raksha]

37. I bet that's exactly what she yells, assuming she and Chimpy

have sex at all.

[Deja Q]

Why do humans shout during sex?

Probably for the same reasons... though humans have the extra capability to slam their fingers into more things than their ape cousins ever could...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. I want to know is if they learned this, or are they somehow born with the knowledge?

Or is there a group of older and wiser female monkeys who share this wisdom with the younger girls?

If they're born with the instinct to...um...move things along, then they're one up on female humans.

[Schema Thing]

32. Maybe 86% of human females

...have an instinctual drive to make their partner orgasm? (seems about right anecdotally :P~)

Human males certainly have a much better than 59% success ratio though.

[RainDog]

41. my wild guess

females who scream probably also contract their um, muscles as part of this. since these primate males take about 8 seconds to ejaculate (or at least most apes) And if the male ejaculates, she's more likely to get preggers. So over time, maybe screamers would outbreed the quiet types?

but how to get to that scream? maybe females who scream are females who orgasm and the screams are part of that and the muscle contractions that kiss the magic wand that is where babies hide in sometimes.

26. Since Laura falls asleep when the Chimp tries to mount her and he calls her his lump in the bed

Chimpy must be either very sexually frustrated or getting it somewhere else.

28. OOOOOOOOHHHHH yyyyyyyeaaaaaahhhhhh

[alarimer]

34. I would like to see the grant proposal for this

Actually I would have liked to be on the committee judging grant proposals when this came up.

[Kip Humphrey]

35. Human males like to think females aren't faking it. Do male chimps care?

[originalpckelly]

36. Well, he doesn't listen to polls, so I guess he doesn't care.

:P
