A study found men with lower mate value than their partners performed cunnilingus more often, driven by motivation to satisfy their partners. This behavior could compensate for mate value discrepancies, aligning with theories on relationship maintenance. #EvPsych link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Male investment adapts to sex ratios: In taverns, men reached the bar faster to order drinks when groups had higher male-biased sex ratios (ASR) or fewer women. Similar to other species, men adjust investments to maximize mating opportunities #HBES #EvPsych royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....
