Holding out for sex...

Note:  Sorry, I just couldn't get myself to post hot monkey porn for the accompanying picture.

A new study suggests female macaque monkeys may deny potential male partners sex until they dote on them a while:
Gumert found after a male grooms a female, the likelihood that she will engage in sexual activity with the male was about three times more than if the grooming had not occurred.
And as with other commodities, the value of sex is affected by supply and demand factors: A male would spend more time grooming a female if there were fewer females in the vicinity.
I suppose those male monkeys aren't any more immune to blue balls than us higher evolved male Homo sapiens.
