etasman2000 15994 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Snippets from the article. The most obvious explanation is that it?s what males do when they?re horny, but unsuccessful with it. This is the loftily named ?sexual outlet hypothesis?. If it?s right, masturbation isn?t adaptive ? it?s just a side effect of the intense sexual arousal generated in species where males mate with many females. An alternative is that masturbation is actually beneficial. By flushing old sperm from the male?s testicles, it gets a higher proportion of competitive or fertile sperm ready for the next potential mating. Full article here.

Guest s******ecan**** Report post Posted September 30, 2010 the authour actually rejects the 1st two explanations (sexual outlet, elimination of old sperm) in favour of a new hypothesis that masturbation in the squirrels she is studying is done to prevent STD's (I'm not kidding read the full article).

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted October 1, 2010 " ... males who had actually had sex were more likely to do it than those in dry spells... males masturbated more often after sex than before it. It?s clearly not an act of preparation." "The final explanation is that masturbation is actually a form of self-medication. By cleaning their genitals, males reduce their odds of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. It?s a new hypothesis that Waterman herself put forward, but it?s the only one that actually fits with all of her data." Or how about this explanation, which is much simpler and also fits perfectly with the evidence that is cited in the article: As humans, we masturbate with the aid and inspiration of sexy memories of our own erotic encounters, and also with the stimulation of all sorts of man-made erotica and pornography. But imagine yourself to be a squirrel -- that would be a bit of a different situation. Squirrels do not make their own artificial pornography. The only things that they have to stimulate their masturbatory libido are their lusty memories. Memories, as even we humans know, fade over time. So squirrels may masturbate more after sex because that's when their memories of their own erotic encounters are at their freshest and most vivid, and therefore at their most inspirational. "Be The Squirrel" ... and the explanation is entirely straightforward! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
