Monkey porn

Scientific American reports that monkeys like prurient pictures. Researchers at the Duke University Medical Center have just finished a study on male macaque monkeys, in which these monkeys "received juice rewards while looking at a variety of images of other macaques on a computer screen. The pictures included a neutral target, male monkeys that differed in social standing and the hindquarters of a female monkey, which reveal her sexual receptiveness."

Needless to say, the macaques were willing to sacrifice quite a lot of juice for the chance to view "female behinds". Or maybe they just didn't like the juice.

"Too much sugar in this darned orange juice," said Tog. "Why aren't they feeding us bananas today?"

"No idea," said Champ. "Hey, look, there's your mom's ass!"
