SocraticGadfly: Bonobos "shout it out"

Bonobos "shout it out"

It being sex, that is. Why?

For social status, as in, look who I just banged.

No, seriously. In all cases, whether gay or straight sex, if we may use human terms, the female who is lower on the "clan's" social scale is the one who whoops it up while making whoopie.

I am sure there's some legitimate evolutionary psychology finding that can be mined from this, and I'm also sure there's some Pop Ev Psych bullshit that will also be mined.
