Yes. I think that's what it was. There was always a bit of competition
between the two.

Yes it was, because you know why? Then they came back with I'm A
Monkey. I see a lot of this myself. Because I'm here from Nuclear
Warrior the world's ONLY Original Words & Music 90% of the world is
awlready based off my Work.

John said he was writing about himself and Yoko.  He said in an
interview that he was referring to Yoko as his monkey because people
kept putting her down.

I think it is a song about sex, plain and simple.

I think the word "monkey" can have more than one meaning in this
song.  Ever hear the expression "slap the monkey"?  He ain't talking
about slapping Yoko.

The lyrics state

"Your inside is out when your outside is in
Your outside is in when your inside is out so
C'mon.
C'mon.
C'mon it's such a joy, c'mon it's such a joy, " etc.

The first couple of lines above sound like intercourse to me.

John enjoyed double entendres such as in Please Please Me.  IMO when
he sings, "C'mon it's such joy" he's really saying "coming is such a
joy."

Sounds to me he's fucking RS. Anyway if you want to see what could possibly
be a World Exclusive on the stage I saw Beatles perform off. You don't have

I always thought it was a reaction to a published drawing showing Yoko as a
monkey on John's back.

Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey.

Yes, that is a good interpretation.  John said it was about him and
Yoko and the public picking on her.

I have thought also that the song was about sex.  I thought monkey was
a slang term in the song for John's organ and I don't mean the
instrument.  IIRC having a "monkey on your back" can be a slang term
for a herion addiction and I do think it ironic that Yoko eventually
introduced John to heroin  although I do not think the song itself is
about heroin and how joyous it is.  It is the irony of the later
addiction.

I had always heard it was a reference to the Two Virgins album cover.
Although considering the timeline, maybe it was written before they
decided to put that cover out, I'm not sure.

I think that is a valid thought, although IIRC the Two Virgins album
was issued after the song.  It would have been interesting if J & Y
did an album with those famous nude pictures and called the album
"Everybody's Got Something to HIde Except for me and my Monkey."

Two Virgins came out a week after The White Album, according to my
brief Google search.
That doesn't mean the song isn't about the cover necessarily though.
It could have been conceived much earlier.  Maybe John even knew the
two albums would be coming out around the same time?  Did John show
the other Beatles the cover in advance to try to get their approval,
or even to warn them of the controversy?

I always thought the quote from Ringo was funny when John first showed
him the cover.  Something like "Oh, you've got the Times on there.
Like his dick wasn't out".

Ringo could be very witty at times.  I think of him as the Yogi Berra
of the Beatles.

To answer your question "Did John show the other Beatles the cover in
advance . . . ."  didn't the album include a supportive quote from
Paul?  Maybe I'm getting confused with something else.  If the album
included a supportive quote from Paul, then Paul knew in advance at
some point.
