Grooming Is Serious Monkey Business

When it comes to the mating market, new research may have you comparing humans to monkeys.

It's not dinner and a movie.

Instead, scientists say male Macaque monkeys pay for sex by grooming females.

For 20 months, reserachers studied about 50 monkeys in Indonesia.

They found that after a male grooms a female, she's three times more likely to have sex than if she received no grooming.

And, like other commodities, scientists found the value of sex is affected by supply and demand -- the fewer females around, the more time the male spends on grooming.
