Humans, in English,call it “petting” and I don’t think it is normally classed as “payment.”
Don't know about that I haven't see his date. :^)
LOL! Is that from The Far Side?
Well, according to National Geographic Television, the males eat the fleas and lice they groom off the female. That must be ^some^ kind of sustenenace, eh?
Hmmmm... I have to do that too.
“Affection” is not understood by scientists so other explanations are proved for grant money. These fellows are paid to produce this stuff. Monkey dudes pick lice from their ladies’ fur to pay for ses. Liberals and government pay money (grants) to scientists to produce something worth a pile of picked-over lice.

Maybe not like that, but there is good opener in there.
I've pulled and pulled and pulled them lice...dear.
Take me home!
Um, How about “Male monkeys treat females nice for sex” as a headline? Nope, all corners of academia have to push the prostitution-neofeminist model of sexuality on us.
How much tax money did this "study" cost?
Male cardinals (the bird, not the clerics— as far as I know) do a similar thing. They get food and feed it to the female. I have seen this at my birdfeeders at home. This is part of the courtship ritual. Whether this should be called “payment” or simply showing one’s interest remains to be argued, as to cardinals, monkeys and humans. And if grooming your girlfriend is payment, then I guess opening the door for her, bringing flowers or candy, even telling her how pretty she is are all forms of “payment.” I don’t think my wife is going to be too pleased to learn that she is a whore... j/k... ducking.
Couple of tickets to the zoo, a cooler, some lawn chairs, a clipboard, pens, paper. Well, thrown in a laptop and a video camera too. Hm, maybe a supervisor back at the office, plus a grant coordinator to get the money lined up. Might need a statistician to count those "events". Oh, and office space. Might as well add in a few PCs for the supervisor, grant coordinator, and statistician. And one of those cool multifunction copiers that are the size of a car. We'll need some swag, too, stuff like coffee cups, pens, that sort of thing. Oh, I forgot, we need a technical writer to actually write the paper and get it published in some journal of natural something something somewhere. Now if we can somehow link the monkey events to global warming, we'll be flush with grant $ for decades!
“Johns don’t pay prostitutes for sex, they pay them to leave.”

I’m grinning. That’s very good.
next they will want to be cuddled and talked to afterwards.
My first thought as I read the headline:
The ‘researchers” aren’t getting enough sex of their own.
What a friggin existence....scarfing down lice and getting busy sun-up to sun-down. With the occasional avoidance of predators, drinks of water, eating more solid food and toilitries.
Maybe slapping around the kids occasionally.
