Sixty percent of men who said they’d been a poaching target said they’d agreed to short-term sex with the poacher. Just under half of women said so. Similar successes were reported by poachers who said they’d made an attempt to steal a mate in order to establish a long-term relationship. Interestingly, societies in which women had more political power also had more mate poaching by both women and men. Sex, of course, leads to babies. Right now, all over the world, millions of human babies are being unwittingly raised by cuckolded men.
