Well Hello Captain Obvious!
Posted by Duncan on December 20th, 2007
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.
WTF? Are you serious? I can tell you exactly why and there is pretty much not any debate, atleast as far as humans are concerned!!
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.
To see if yelling resulted from how vigorous the sex was, the scientists counted the number of pelvic thrusts males gave and timed when they happened.
They found when shouting occurred, thrusting increased. In other words, hollering led to more vigorous sex.
Yes. I have conducted this experiment many times my self, and I reached the same conclusions… repeatedly. What an unbelievable waste of taxpayer $$$$…..

Vocal utterances also affect the quality and intensity of the final product.

At least they didn’t blame the problem on global warming!

The image of scientists – or more likely their graduate students – counting and timing the pelvic thrusts of macaques is deeply disturbing. That can’t be a good job.

You nailed it; what a waste of time and money. I could have told them the same damned thing! I like screamers…um, and stuff.
