  22. A male chimpanzee will frequently apply his fingers and lips to a female chimp’s genitals to investigate her fertility status. This constant contact means there is not the same opportunity for herpes virus to become isolated in either the oral or genital region among chimps as there is among humans. Chimpanzee herpes is, accordingly, a single virus in both oral and genital areas.

  31. Edgerton, 1964. This is particularly remarkable given that women among the Pokot were apparently also universally subjected to clitoridectomy.

  44. The view is sometimes expressed that this wish for sexual privacy cannot really be an instinct, since watching explicit pornography seems to violate it. Yet I suspect that this is partly why witnessing other people’s sex acts is exciting in the first place: because it violates our instinctual sense of propriety. Most other primates, who copulate without concern in public, would probably find the idea of hardcore pornography both boring and incomprehensible.

  45. Oliver, 1989.

  46. Duczko, 2004.

  47. Kirby, 1981.

  48. True, other species of chimp don’t show this behavior, suggesting it may be something that has arisen separately in bonobos since they split from chimps around 1.5 million years ago. It is equally possible, however, that chimps are the ones who have changed, and that our common ancestor behaved with decidedly bonobo-like erotic abandon.

  49. Guthrie, 2005. My thanks go out to Dr. Paul Bahn here, who kindly provided his expert knowledge on this.

  50. Herdt, 1999.

  51. Why he chose the German edition, I’m afraid I don’t know.

  52. Weismantel, 2004.

  53. Anthropologist Mary Weismantel, in her excellent journal article on the Moche sex-pots (see Bibliography), theorizes that the masturbating-skeleton motif is intended to show the continuity of reproduction across generations; even death does not stop the sacred essence of life—semen—being passed down.

  54. Seinfeld episode, “The Jimmy.”

  55. Abbott, 2001.

  56. It has to be said, however, that not all desert fathers succeeded in conquering their lust. In fact, so many indulged in affairs with peasant lasses that it became customary for village girls to blame any unexplained pregnancy on them.

  57. Weale, 2002.

  58. Forster, 2004.

  59. Gay, 1999.

  60. Wassersug, 2007.

  61. Miles, 2000.

  62. Interestingly, the term itself was invented by Alfred Kinsey, apparently as a misreading from Malinowski’s work on the Trobriand Islands. There is no evidence that any missionary ever tried to teach the position to their native congregation. Priest, 2001.

  63. Alzate, 1984.

  64. Malinowski, 1932.

  65. Metz, 1997.

  66. Studies of the difference between identical and non-identical (fraternal) twins are important because they allow us to isolate the effects of heredity. Because twins are usually brought up in the same household, and undergo the same environmental influences, any consistent difference between identical and non-identical twins is probably hereditary.

  68. Simmons, 1960.
