Abstract
Female rhesus monkeys were captured from the free-ranging colony at La Parguera, Puerto Rico during the non-mating season and paired with testosterone propionate-treated and control males daily for 12 weeks. Testosterone propionate-treated males displayed high levels of sexual behavior and low levels of aggressive behavior compared to control males. Pairing females with such sexually active or inactive males had only minor effects on female sexual behavior and no measurable influence on ovarian cyclicity. These results indicate that sexual activity of males apparently failed to coordinate reproductive changes in females. Reproductive coordination previously reported in females may be due to interactions among females.
