Primate Porn:

It appears that homo sapiens are not the only apes who enjoy looking at photographs of genitalia. An interesting new study has found that "male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms."

The experiment is set up so that the act is akin to paying for the images, researchers say. "The rhesus macaque monkeys also splurged on photos of top-dog counterparts, the high-ranking primates. Maybe that's like you or me buying People magazine."

What all this says about the readers of People, however, is a question the researchers delicately avoid.
