Match the scenario to the type of sexual selection:  Question   10 male parrots wish to mate with a female. The female chooses to mate with the male that has the brightest tail feathers.    Male giraffes perform mating dances. The ones that perform the dance better are chosen by the female as a mate.    Male kangaroos fight each other, the winner claims the female to mate with.    Male red-winged blackbird sing and display their feathers to establish their territories. All of the females in that territory will exclusively mate with that male.    The impressive feathers of a male peacock are the result of this type of sexual selection   All Answer Choices A.  Intrasexual selection B.  Intersexual selection

Sexual Motivation

Sexual motivation refers to a person's overall desire for sexual activity. It is an unusual motivation. Generally, among lower animals, the term 'drive' is commonly referred to as sexual motivation. It means a certain internal force drags the animal to be involved in reproductive behavior. On the contrary, humans are not simply driven by any internal force; rather, the sexual motivation in humans is due to several factors such as biological (hormones, genes), environmental (familial upbringing, chemical exposure) and physiological factors (culture, desire) which further determine engagement in sexual activities.
