Document Summary

Last time suggested cryptic ovulation in human females maybe one of reasons why monogamy evolved: men don t know when females ovulating, so they just keep trying (lots of sex) Women who don t want babies (either sterilized or on iuv s) are still 25% more likely to have intercourse during what would have been ovulation time of cycle. Possible that women (who can detect ovulation) send out more sexual signals (which men can detect) Strip club: when menstruating tips go down to /hr, when ovulating tips are approximately /hr. Some men say they are aware of/can tell when women are ovulating/menstruating. Prof used to smell top of girlfriends head (hair) because she had irregular periods and would ask him when she was going to get her period. Male short-term sexual strategies, try to have sex as much as they can.
