This is a fairly long chapter, because sexual activity of the human male has dimensions to it that are not seen in the mating of other mammals and it is important that they should be explained. I have to confess to some nervousness in writing about the subject, because I feel to be on shakier ground than when I am dealing with other mammals. However, I trust that what I have written on human mating might be of some interest.

Some authors, even some scientists, have tried to insist that the human male is promiscuous and that the human female displays cryptic choices of her males. This is an opportune argument if you happen to be a promiscuous male, and I do not believe either of these concepts really holds water, but rather that they are convenient flights of fancy for some people. I hope to develop my own line of argument on these issues and to be persuasive. We are bonding animals, otherwise why would we fall in love? And as for human female choice, in the final analysis, there seems little that is cryptic about it to me.
