The males use grooming as a form of currency to buy sex from the female, the study found.

Interesting conclusion. I wonder why the author considered the grooming currency, instead of affection.

Male Monkeys 'Pay' Females for Sex, Study Finds

Oh, man ... so many punch lines and they're all just so wrong.

Left to her own desires, a female macaque mates about 1.5 times an hour, but that rate jumps to 3.5 times an hour when the male partner first provided grooming services, the study found.

Talk about a cheap date.
