Following periods of separation the depth and vigor of thrusting increases. The magnitude of semen displacement is proportional to the depth of thrusting. Hobbs & gallup (2011)- examined popular song lyrics for embedded reproductive messages. Top of chart: more reproductive messages than non chart-toppers. 92% of 174 songs in 2009 billboard chart had reproductive message (avg = 10. 5) Pop- sex appeal; reputation; short-term strategies; fidelity assurance. R&b/hip-hop- sex appeal; resources; sex act; status. Opera arias & art songs- 400 yrs old, same themes! Consistent in terms of the fact those reproductive messages were present across all types of music, but the manner in which it was presented was different. Adoption- pick among potential adoptees children whose features are similar to adopted father. Pick donors w/ features that resemble fathers. Pick donors who share genes in common with father. Fail to make court-mandated child support payments. Attempts to remedy: garnish wages, revoke driver"s license. Less physical resemblance btwn dads & kids.
