In the Sacred Monkey Forest of Bali, food is everywhere and masturbation is rampant.
Unlike our own species, however, masturbation rarely leads to actual ejaculation for other male animals. This makes it hard to determine how much pleasure the monkeys are actually receiving from stone play.
"Overall," they add,"our data partly supported the 'Sex Toy' hypothesis indicating that stone-directed tapping and rubbing onto the genital and inguinal area are sexually motivated behaviors." The authors collected hundreds of examples of tool-assisted masturbation by groups of local macaques during this time period.

The consequence is not just lower productivity; it is lower quality of life. Half-hearted effort isn’t fun. The first responsibility of leaders — whether front line supervisors, middle managers, or executives — is to provide employees with a visceral connection to the human purpose they serve.
