> [@Loopydude](#): > > Observing bonobos has essentially chucked a lot of what we thought was unique about human sexuality right out the window, and revealed a few limitations of our own besides. Whoever coined the term ā€œmake love, not warā€ could have gotten their inspiration from the bonobo. Often, instead of getting in a fight, they do things like give each other oral sex! Not only that, they appear to be about as open to such displays of overt a placative sexuality in both homo- and hetero- couplings. They masturbate. They give prolonged kisses with lots of tongue. They engage in group sex. Females regularly initiate sex, even when not in estrus. In fact, itā€™s rare for a bonobo to go even one day without some sort of sexual gratification; itā€™s almost too integral a part of their social behavior to avoid! It may be the only sex-related thing humans do better than bonobos is celibacy. Are you sure about the oral sex thing? Iā€™ve read a lot about bonobs, and I donā€™t recall any mention of oral sex. Lots of genital-genital rubbing, though. Bonobos are very trippy to watch because they really look at lot more ā€œhumanā€ when they stand upright than chimps do. OTOH, their squeaky voices are more like monkeys than great apes. ---

Just to explain a little bit of board culture to you, **gobbldeegook** , since youā€™re new: A thread like this one thatā€™s had no comments in five years is generally considered ā€œdead.ā€ When you added your post(s), you popped it back to the top of the forum list, effectively bringing it back from the dead and making it a ā€œzombieā€ thread. On most of the SDMB, this is discouraged; weā€™d rather have you start a new thread than respond to one where the original participants may not be around any longer. In General Questions, zombies are tolerated as long as youā€™re adding new informationā€“which is exactly what you did hereā€“so all is good. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Are you sure about the oral sex thing? Iā€™ve read a lot about bonobs, and I donā€™t recall any mention of oral sex. Lots of genital-genital rubbing, though. I guess it depends on what you mean by ā€œoral sexā€ ā€“ Iā€™ve seen bonobos of both genders licking the genitals of other bonobos of both genders (generally in separate instances, not all at the same time, you understand), but not actually performing fellatio.
