This is a replay of information already presented in Evolution of Desire. Martie Haselton (see below) is a former David Buss student and a potential centerfold...ah, that we should all be so lucky!

"Designer Genes: Women May Stray When Ovulation Peaks
Study suggests infidelity could be part of evolutionary call for desirable mates
By Meryl Hyman Harris
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Jan. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Women who feel an urge for sex outside of their marriages might be hearing an evolutionary call to improve the species.
New research suggests that during ovulation, when women are ready to conceive, nature may encourage them to look beyond their male partners for a better gene pool, but only if they don't find their mates sexually attractive.
"The mating market is driven by supply and demand, and therefore not all women will attract long-term mates offering good genes," the study authors stated. Women innately deduce that a man they find sexy has better genes to pass on to a baby."
