back2basics- Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Long-term relationships are fundamentally dishonest. And it's all the fault of females. Scientists claim that monogamous relationships among many species, including humans, only persist because females have found a way to disguise whether they are fertile. The researchers claim that by offering sex anytime, but no clues as to whether they will conceive, females trick males into hanging round for a long time. The evolution of this deception is the only reason that monogamy has developed. Sexual deception New Scientist reports that two zoologists claim to have uncovered the dishonest heart of every faithful relationship. Magnus Enquist of Stockholm University and colleague Miguel Girones from the Netherlands Institute of Ecology have been modelling the development of monogamous relationships and claim that the state only develops when females start deceiving males about their fertility. Classical explanations of sexual behaviour always focus on the male. But this gives stronger focus on the woman Magnus Enquist In many species females often advertise their fertility with visual or chemical cues and, as a result, only suffer the amorous attentions of males when they are likely to conceive. They typically avoid too much sex because it takes energy and leaves them at the risk of contracting disease. This behaviour also helps males decide who to mate with, and when they can move on and try to spread their genes elsewhere. In many other species, such as humans, birds and porcupines, females hide their fertility and so keep males hanging round on the off-chance that they will conceive. Roguish behaviourThis deception also discourages males from seeking other mates because they are just as likely to be fertile as the female the male has shacked up with claims Mr Enquist. The pair tested their theory in a mathematical model and found that males only stopped their roguish bachelor lifestyle when females start hiding their fertility. "Classical explanations of sexual behaviour always focus on the male," Mr Enquist told New Scientist. "But this gives stronger focus on the woman." http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1296000/1296607.stm ------------------I want to go out blazing..not fade away.Trust in the currency of relationships, it's hard to earn but easy to loose - back2basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
