Those dating reality shows got nothing on Curious George

I was hoping they'd archive this. Good stuffs!

These monkeys make Temptation Island look like Romper Room. I wonder if FOX has even thought of that, they're scandalous enough. A big massive dating series pitting singles of differing sexual orientations against one another for one another.

"...female macaques often form long-term sexual relationships with other females, and turn down opportunities for reproductive sex with a male, even though at other times they might mate happily with the same male...frequently reject(ing) willing males for the favours of their female partner."

Well, I guess that shoots down the conservative view that homosexuality is unnatural. And obviously these swinging animals *giggles* are about more than just increasing their population.

Interesting that critters would be this way. I always found it amusing on elimiDATE when the girls sometimes show more interest in their opponents compared to the guy they're supposed to be battling it out for.

Back to the monkeys: "We've got females that are competing for males with other females, we've got males that are being choosy, males that are sexually coercing females ... we've got females sexually harassing males that don't want to copulate with them, we've got females that have sex with each other, we've got females that are competing with males for other females, we have females that are mounting males,"

You see? They aren't much different from us at all. You've got the elimiDATE chimps, you've got the Joe Millionaire baboons, the Bachelor/Bachelorette orangutans. And then there are the "personality" primates. There are Bill Clinton-esque gorillas, the Ellen Degeneres' of the primate world, even monkeys who emulate Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction.

I guess we haven't evolved much in that respect.
