Greenfield has recently proposed that low fertility in both prostitutes and unmarried Trobriand girls may be explained by the "Bruce effect": the inhibition of pregnancy in female mice that have had intercourse with different males within a short period. An examination of Malinowski's data indicates that a Trobriand girl usually had intercourse with only one man over a fairly long period and her sex life was not at all comparable to that of a prostitute or one of Bruce's mice. Low fertility in unmarried girls has been well documented for several Melanesian societies that differ notably in the behavior permitted to girls. The existence of so‐called adolescent sterility still seems to be the best explanation to cover all of these cases. [fertility, sexual behavior, Melanesia]
