Female Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in certain populations are unusual in that they exhibit male-typical patterns of mounting behavior and sexual-partner preference. The goal of this study was to determine whether female Japanese macaques, from one such population, employ male-typical behavioral tactics to disrupt existing homosexual consortships, as well as to acquire and retain same-sex sexual partners. "Harassment" of homosexual consortships occurred when a sexually motivated, third-party male or female interrupted a consorting female couple by displacing or aggressing them. Sexual harassment was a male-typical strategy for disrupting existing homosexual consortships, but was rarely performed by females. "Intrusions" occurred when a male or female competitor attempted to acquire exclusive access to a female engaged in a homosexual consortship by targeting that female as the focus of competition and her partner as his/her competitor. "Sexual coercion" occurred when one individual alternately sexually solicited and aggressed another individual as part of the same behavioral sequence during an intrusion. Males employed consortship intrusions and sexual coercion when they attempted to acquire female sexual partners that were already engaged in homosexual consortships, but females rarely did so. However, females did employ male-typical patterns of aggressive competition and sexual coercion to retain same-sex sexual partners when confronted with male competitors' attempts to usurp those partners. These results indicate that female sexual activity during homosexual consortships is not uniformly "masculine" in expression, but rather is a mixture of male- and female-typical behaviors.
某些群体中的雌性日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata）表现出雄性典型的爬跨行为模式和性伴侣偏好，这一点很不寻常。本研究的目的是确定来自这样一个群体的雌性日本猕猴是否采用雄性典型的行为策略来破坏现有的同性恋伴侣关系，以及获取和留住同性性伴侣。当有性动机的第三方雄性或雌性通过取代或攻击正在交配的雌性伴侣来打断她们时，就会发生对同性恋伴侣关系的“骚扰”。性骚扰是破坏现有同性恋伴侣关系的一种雄性典型策略，但很少由雌性实施。当雄性或雌性竞争者试图通过将参与同性恋伴侣关系的雌性作为竞争焦点，将其伴侣作为自己的竞争者，从而获得对该雌性的独占权时，就会发生“侵入”。当一个个体在侵入过程中，作为同一行为序列的一部分，交替地对另一个个体进行性求爱和攻击时，就会发生“性胁迫”。雄性在试图获取已经处于同性恋伴侣关系中的雌性性伴侣时，会采用伴侣关系侵入和性胁迫手段，但雌性很少这样做。然而，当面对雄性竞争者试图篡夺同性伴侣的企图时，雌性确实会采用雄性典型的攻击性竞争和性胁迫模式来留住同性性伴侣。这些结果表明，同性恋伴侣关系中的雌性性行为在表现上并非一律“男性化”，而是男性和女性典型行为的混合。
