Well? Do they? Or is this a “human only” type thing?
One word: bonobo.

IIRC, not only is it a “human only” thing, but not all human groups do it. You need a bit of time and a bit of privacy to engage in some of the “higher arts” of lovemaking, and in a lot of cultures they have neither. In some cultures oral sex is unknown. But, then again, monkeys are notoriously easygoing when it comes to privacy issues.
Relatively speaking other primates just aren’t as, well, “well hung” as we humans are, and don’t have pee-pees well suited for fellatio. What’s more, they generally only want to “get it on” when the female comes into estrus, which generally makes the male want to engage in some good old penile-vaginal monkey love. I wouldn’t say that its never happened, monkeys do some odd things, but generally speaking I’m thinking oral sex is pretty much a human phenomenon.
Also, monkeys aren’t good with the “no-teeth” rule.
There are very few if any behaviors humans do that some other animal doesn’t… perhaps several “mostly human” behaviors, but AFAIK we’re still trying t figure out exactly what makes us unique in the animal kingdom. While bonobos are apes, I’m sure you just meant any of the hairy human-like tree-swingers. Oh yeah, there are some knuckle-draggers out there in the jungles that make us look like rank amateurs in that particular area :D.
BTW I actually watched a show on bonobos recently, and the little guy I saw doing his thing was… ahem… very well hung, though perhaps a little differently shaped than us. (No, I don’t watch monkey porn for fun - I just noticed it… really!!)
Well, I’ll be damned. Bonobos?
I have to admit, despite an Anthro major in college, my knowledge of Bonobo fellatio is somewhat deficient. I was under the impression that most monkey-love was of a pretty mechanical nature.
Ah! But Bonobo’s aren’t monkeys, they’re apes. Damn-near human, at that.
Monkey’s OTOH, aren’t all that impressive. We had a troup of monkeys camp on top of our cab while in Penang, and a couple of them decided to do it right then and there. It lasted all of five seconds, start to finish. So much for hot monkey-sex. 
Hmmm… I guess you’re right - all we need now is some cheesy musical accompaniment
“Goin’ Downtown” is Common Practice Among Bonobos at the
San Diego Zoo
I’ll second that compaint.

Anyone remember the 80’s pop group “Blow Monkeys”?
But I figured the OP was really about any non-human primates, not just monkeys. Bonobos are notorious for being the horny little devils of the primate family. There aren’t too many humans that engage in sex as often as they routinely do.
BTW, a Google search turned up a page that said that fellatio has been reported among stump-tailed macaques as well. I don’t have the link any more; anyone interested will have to do their own search.
Ever heard of the One Click Rule, Astro?
The fuzzy, at a distance “goin’ downtown” pic at the bonobo web site leaves quite a bit to the imagination and no naughty bits are exposed but just for you …
Quoth pravnik:
How would fellatio require any more time than penile-vaginal intercourse? Among humans, one would expect it to rather require less time, since only one party need disrobe.
And the animated GIF? The red rubber ball? The Bonobo theme song?
Ev’rybody’s doin’ a brand new dance now.
C’mon, baby, do the hoka-hoka.
I know you’ll get to like it if you give it a chance now.
C’mon, baby, do the hoka-hoka.
My little baby sister can do it with ease,
It’s easier than learnin’ your ABC’s,
So come on, come on, do the hoka-hoka with me.
You gotta swing your hips now,
Come on baby, jump up, jump back,
Oh, well, I think you got the knack!
Now that you can do it, let’s make a chain now. :eek:
C’mon, baby, do the hoka-hoka.
A chuga chuga motion like pullin’ a train now.
C’mon, baby, do the hoka-hoka.
Do it nice and easy now, don’t lose control,
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul.
Come on, come on, do the hoka-hoka with me.
Just you wait until SINA catches up with you!
You don’t perform foreplay and sex at the same time.
Say it requires the same amount of time. For example, 15 minutes.
Put them together, it’s twice as much time, 30 minutes.
To elaborate: you live in a tribal long house with your extended family. There’s no time or privacy to experiment and get freaky.
I would like to apologize for the unduly terse tone of my previous two posts. Been a bit of a long evening,

-
Who says oral sex must only be foreplay, and not the “main event”?
-
If you use oral sex as foreplay, why do you assume it will take the same length of time at intercourse as not getting warmed up?
-
Other cultures that live in communal housing are less picky about privacy.
