When you finally have sex you can say 'we'.

Thank you and goodnight.

Sexuality in the animal kingdom makes human sexuality look like amatures in a porn video.

Chimps.

actually, chimps don't have sex for pleasure, bonobos do, they are somewhat similar to chimps but behave very differently, chips are super agressive, while bonobos aren't.

I believe bonobo females bond by doing GG rubbing (genital-genito rubbing).

 

[Eeezee]

What about Bonobos monkeys? I don't think that's been mentioned yet.

I can't get a straight answer out of any of them. When I ask they just laugh hysterically. Animals can be so immature:disgust:

Well it's rude to ask them while they're having sex.

Dolphins are probably a lot smarter than Humans, they just choose to watch us destroy each other.

 

[fatkorean]

I think they do... (could be NSFW)

I'm pretty sure dolphins and Bonobos do.

they are the only other ones.

 

[cubalis]

Yes, definately for Bonobos (btw they are apes, not monkeys) A prof once used the phrase 'make love not war' when talking about Bonobos.

Japanese Macaques, which are commonly called "snow monkeys", also tend to have non-reproductive sex from time to time. This includes male on male intercourse.

cheers

Has someone said bonobos or dolphins yet?

 

[Gigantopithecus]

A lot more animals than just dolphins and bonobos have been documented to have sex when fertilization is either impossible or very unlikely. If the goal isn't fertilization, they're copulating because they enjoy it or they're copulating it because they're behaving suboptimally. Chimpanzees, orangutans (orangs go down on each other), and a variety of monkeys all have sex when fertilization isn't possible. I'd be willing to bet various bird species do the same, but I'm not an ornithologist.

BTW that link to Snopes above cites Jared Diamond's "Why is Sex Fun?", which is a popular press book loaded with flat out wrong 'facts' and refuted theories. Don't take it as the final word on f*cking.

Bonobos aren't monkeys.

how do so many of you know about the sex lives of bonobos? I'd never even heard of them...

 

[Triumph]

Do animals have sex for pleasure? Well, I'm not sure if the sheep enjoyed it, but I know I did.

 

[alien42]

penguins are the only animals besides humans that prostitute themselves

and for rocks none the less

 

[saahmed]

Probably all animals. They all have like sex calls and stuff.

 

[Cattlegod]

no one said these yet, but i think bonobos or dolphins do.
