Scientists traced the evolution of masturbation through time, and across species, by analyzing more than 400 publications and observations of autosexual behaviors in primates, in what is the largest comparative dataset on masturbation ever amassed. The results suggest that masturbation confers evolutionary advantages in males, such as disease prevention and enhanced reproductive success, though its relevance to females will require more research to unpack.

Vice just accidentally admitted different DNA has different outcomes and dictates sexual capabilities.

“Autosexual behavior, or masturbation, is common across the animal kingdom, but appears to be particularly prevalent in the primates,” Brindle and her colleagues said in the study. “There is little systematic comparative research into this behavior, and its evolutionary history is unclear.”

Autosexuality means people are more attracted to themselves than to others

One of these is not like the other, jerking off to a visual of a chick is not “autosexual”. Another day another bastardizing of language.
