When Mothers Have More Sex, Daughters Are More Fertile
	A female should have sex once, fertilize her eggs and that's it. But many researches show that, in the animal kingdom, females have much more sex, even if bouts of mating consume energy that could have been used to produce more offspring. The natural selection should remove such behavior. But a new study published in the "American Naturalist" shows that frequent mating females have an evolutionary advantage: their daught ...

Sex: What For?
	In most other animal species, mating is not by far as pleasant as it is for humans. In our case, the sexual and reproductive behaviors are distinct, as sex has rather the role of bonding and forming social connections. But in some animal species, the male is ‘dying’ to have sex…literally! In praying mantis (Mantis religiosa), soon after mating or during mating, the female starts devouring its partner, head first! The Pacific salmons ma ... [read more >>]

Female Genital Mutilation, Banned in Egypt!
	They call it "purification" or euphemistically "female circumcision", but it is in fact one of the most horrific practices that survive in the 21th century Africa: the female genital mutilation (FGM). Thousands of Egyptian girls undergo it annually, but the case of Budour Ahmed Shaker, 11, dead while having undergone FGM at a private clinic in the Egyptian village Mughagha in June hurried up the government to outlaw the ...

A First: Different Chemistry in Males and Females
	We know men come from Mars, women from Venus. Now, scientists are on the way to prove they really represent different worlds. Chemically. A team at the University of Illinois at Chicago has found for the first time a chemical in male blue crabs that is absent in females: a whole enzyme chain appeared to be functional in just one sex. "Although hormone level differences are generally accepted as the primary cause of variation betwe ... [read more >>]

Top 6 Male Mothers
	As we all have learned, females produce eggs and males sperm. Females are the mothers and males are the fathers. This has been so ever since the beginning of times. The female takes care of the eggs and eventually of the offspring. And what if not? Nature has many surprises for us. Sometimes males are very devoted moms, while the females are hanging around, eventually fighting with other females to get more sex...This cannot happen in ma ... [read more >>]

Females Invest More in Offspring Conceived with Sexy Males
	Sex and economics seem to be connected: animals tend to invest in their offspring according to their expected payoff. A team of behavioral ecologists at the National Museum of Natural History and the Laboratory of Evolutive Parasitology, Paris showed that, in the peafowl (Pavo cristatus), when females mated with attractive males, they invested more resources in their eggs than females paired with less attractive males. In the first case, ... [read more >>]

Female Sex Hormone, Linked to Lower Cancer Resistance
	The weak sex... Indeed, in the case of many cancers, women have been observed to display a lower resistance than men. But when the patients are older than 60, the differences in the cancer survival rates vanish. This fact made some researchers suspect that female sex hormones, before reaching the age of 60, can be linked to this enhanced resistance of women to cancer. "If estrogen levels interact with the efficacy of certain ch ... [read more >>]

Why Do 75 % of the Women Fake Orgasm?
	Bad news for the guys. Women fake it. Maybe not every time, but it's a high probability that it has happened. The reasons can vary and the good news is it may not be you (or your technique) that impeded her from reaching the peak. Researches revealed that just 25% of women can always (or almost always) reach orgasm during the contact (in the case of the males, this is well over 90%) This means that 75 % of the women need more than ...

Female Chimps Practice Heavily Infanticide and Cannibalism
	We know chimps can be really nasty and male aggressiveness is already recorded in our closest species, including the male infanticide. But this goes too far: not only previously thought gentle females are equally aggressive, but it's a common practice to kill and eat the babies of other females. Scientists can only guess that the habitat loss and human encroachment on chimpanzee territory could lead to fight for resources and aggr ... [read more >>]

Female Genital Mutilation

Homosexual and Bisexual Fathers Make ... Better Mothers
	In the field of sex, nature got very imaginative with the plants. Sexual organs of the plants, or flowers, are extremely diversely organized: they can be male or female, or have a hermaphrodite structure. Depending on species, an individual can carry hermaphrodite flowers, or only males, or only females, or a combination of two-three types at the same time. Even the famous cannabis has female and male individuals, and ... [read more >>]

Beautiful Women Want a Sucker to Keep the Household and a Macho to Father Their Children
	If you look like Pete Doherty, you can not be 100 % sure that you fathered your children. That's because a new research shows that a woman prefers a stud when she is fertile and just wanting to play rather than a mate for life. The new approach shows how the price a women puts on the masculinity of her mate shifts during her reproductive cycle and with her immediate and long-term goals. This preference for hunker men was also ... [read more >>]
