Studying nature can tell us a lot about the different ways there are to find sexual partners. As Seduction Labs is still relatively new, here’s a an extremely simple example taken from research by scientists from the University of California at Santa Cruz, that describes lizard mating strategies.
The same strategies could also be adopted by humans aiming to have more sex.
Strategy #1: Have a Lot of Territory
The Orange-Throated Lizard: These males establish large territories, with several females. The more females the more often they can mate.
Strategy #2: Guard Your Mate
The Blue-Throated Lizard: These males defend small territories holding just a few females. Because the territories are so small, they can guard their mates carefully.
Strategy #3: Be Sneaky
The Yellow-Striped-Throated Lizard: These males are sneaky and can mimic the markings and behavior of females.
So, orange-throated males are able to grab territory and females from blue-throated lizards when orange-throated lizards are rare.
But, blue-throated males can take over a population of yellow-striped-throated males when blue-throated lizards are rare.
