Shhhhhhh !!

Don't tell the National Organization for Women,but researchers at Emory University's National Primate Research Center have been doing genetics experiments on meadow voles (whatever they are),and have discovered that transferring a single gene - the vasopressin receptor- into the brain of a normally promiscuous vole will make the critter monogamous.

Consider the implications of that for a moment-then consider the implications of doing the same thing to humans !

How long do you think it will take before NOW makes such a gene transplant mandatory for men??

In all fairness, I suppose there are lots of women who cheat......

Well, the men aren't cheating with each other, at least not most of them.

I'm not the cheating type myself, but through experience I've learned to not have blind faith about women. I suppose the same could be said for women regarding men.

All but one of my friends are rock solidly faithful to their wives. The one that isn't is at a Bill Clinton level of scumminess and I feel sorry for his wife...my friend's wife that is, not Bill Clinton's.

What makes you think NOW values monogamy?

They don't even like marriage, and aren't too fond of women being involved with men at all, let alone long term.

According to Canadian researchers, it's about 1% of the men cheating with each other.

Yes, it could, and you're right not to have blind faith in all women. Unfortunately, I know many of them do cheat.

All but one of my friends are rock solidly faithful to their wives. The one that isn't is at a Bill Clinton level of scumminess and I feel sorry for his wife...my friend's wife that is, not Bill Clinton's.

I'm glad that your friends are faithful. That kind of restores my faith in men. Mine was the Bill Clinton type. That's why he's my ex.

Thanks! I learned that all by myself. I've done a whole lot of bouncing in my life. LOL One of life's little lessons. :-)

Is that a Micheal Jackson picture in the year 2040

Looks like he borrowed some accessories from Janet

The actual gender of some of those 'ladies' is sometimes questionable...appearance-wise.

Are you refering to the hookers or to the NAGs?

Hookers in RL look nothing like hookers in movies. For the most part, ick! ick! ick! About 50% I understand are male often in female dress. I can believe it.
