The Independent, By Steve Connor, February 11

It is one of the world's most persistent myths: that one in 10 children are illegitimate without their legal fathers knowing that they have been cuckolded. Now scientists believe they have arrived at the real figure. One in 25.

Scientists analysed the Y chromosomes of 1,600 unrelated men with 40 surnames to test the idea that there could be a link between the Y chromosome and surnames, which are both passed on to boys down the male line.

For certain, uncommon surnames there was a clear association between the unique genetic markers carried on the Y chromosome with the surname, suggesting that many of the men sharing the same surname had a common male ancestor many centuries ago.

This also enabled the scientists to estimate the probability of illegitimacy among the men carrying the same surname and found that it came out at between 1 and 4 per cent.

yeesh... studies like this are a dime a dozen... and worth even less.

Sure, there's a genetic basis for promiscuous men, and nesting women. But guess what? That only holds water if every time you have sex, your goal is to bear a child.

If you use birth control, you've evolved beyond your genes...

Of COURSE you can trust the US Government! Just ask the Indians.

We're no longer slaves to our genes, instead we've become slaves to a culture of double standards.

Seven Kinds Of Sex
The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex.
This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex until you are blue in the face.

The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say " f... you."

The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex.
Which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the Afternoon and Nun at night. (Very Popular)

The 6th kind of sex is called: Courtroom Sex.
This is when you cannot stand your spouse any more. They take you to court and screw you in front of everyone.

And last, but not least,

The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex. You get a little each month. But not enough to live on.

As my teenage daughter said, "Getting pregnant out of marriage is like being grounded for 18 years"

Then you can trace your lineage back many, many generations via the Y chromosome. There's a Y-chromosomal Adam as well as a Mitochondrial Eve.

If you're only looking back one generation, then since the child receives one chromosome of each pair from each parent, paternity tests can be definitive.

it's only in marriage that women are valued in patriarchy. Many women have internalized the patriarchal view of themselves. What women truly value is not something patriarchy concerns itself with.

Endocrinologists have known for years that oxytocin, released by the pituitary gland, ovaries and testes, helps trigger childbirth contractions, milk production during nursing and the pelvic shudders women experience during orgasm (and possibly the contractions during male orgasm as well). The hormone is believed to play a vital role in mother-child bonding and may do the same for new fathers: oxytocin surges when a new dad holds his bundle of joy. Source

So, back to the drawing board. Now why is it again that women are not supposed to enjoy recreational sex as much as men? Please, leave the kids out of it.

Bottom line, men are more easily addicted to dopamine while women tend to prefer oxytocin. Oxytocin preference is natural to women. But it's an acquired taste for men, and they have to learn to substitute valley organisms for peak. Men have to discover that oxytocin is the better way to go, and this involves some discipline to overcome their dopamine addiction.

BTW, men who do this are in a great position with women and are in high demand, because this is the way that women are best satisfied. In this end, men find that women are right in this if they undertake the necessary discipline to learn the technology.

Pass it over. Does one take this stuff on the rocks or straight up?

"Lord! What Fools these Mortals be!"

Sexual desire, sex etc,. requires far more than Dopamine. Some of the chemicals and hormones involved include: Prolactin, Norepinephrine, Testosterone, Estrogen, Anabolic Steroids, DHEA, Serotonin, Oxytocin, Vasopressin and Opioids.

Dopamine modulates sexual desire in both females and males. Post coital release of vasopressin in men has the same effect as that of Oxytocin in women. In fact, we could cherry pick through the vast amount of research to find the results we prefer to believe. For example, support for a female's preference for new sexual partners can be found in this study. Then there is the effect of the release of dopamine in voles - it promotes pair-bonding which is the opposite of what you suggested it does in human males ("wham! bam! thank-you, ma'am!"). For an extensive collection of studies on sexuality visit this site.

There is no point referring to chemicals and hormones when one wishes to regulate human sexual behavior especially since both women and men are chemically predetermined not to be monogamous.

I'd be interested to know how that African tribe taught sexuality to their children. Did the Council on Sexuality consist of an equal number of women and men or did the men dictate to women how they ought to behave sexually?

Anyhow, getting back to the topic of the article, I'm prepared to make a slight concession. I don't believe women enjoy "one night stands" but they sure as hell enjoy "one and a half night stands". Ya dig, bro?

And then there's always stability for unstable desires.

your link to that vole study, Adrena, but then I started worrying about the weird spam I'd probably start receiving thereafter. :)
