[41], Among elephants, female same-sex behaviours have been documented only in captivity where they are known to masturbate one another with their trunks.[42].

"Humans have created the myth that sexuality can be justified only by reproduction, which by definition limits it to hetero sex," says Michael Bronski, author of The Pleasure Principle: Culture, Backlash, and the Struggle for Gay Freedom.

Homosexual behavior exists on a spectrum, and may or may not involve penetration. Interestingly, despite this talk of many guys supposedly being too macho or grossed out to go down on women, giving oral sex made it into the top … The Google, PLOSOne paper describing fruit-bat fellatio, Jane Goodall has long said that chimps have emotions, “The female turns her head to look back at her partner, reaches back with one hand, and grasps the male.”, Scientists think lady fruit bats lick male bat penis shafts during sex because it prolongs sex, The Definitive Oral History of Reddit GoneWild, Miles Davis vs. Malibu: How the LAPD Terrorized a Jazz Legend. The technical term we currently use for oral sex on penises (blowjobs), fellatio, itself dates back to the late 1800's. But I'm glad you brought it up, because these are some of my favorite kinds of questions. Such rubbing between males is thought, according to varying evolutionary theorists, to have existed before the development of hominids into humans and bonobos, and may or may not have occurred in the homosexual activity of both of these genetically related species. Bonobos share a junglesop fruit — a delectable snack for both bonobos and humans. [68] Alfred Kinsey cites reports of sexual activity involving a female eland with an ostrich, a male dog with a chicken, a male monkey with a snake, and a female chimpanzee with a cat.

In his 1999 book, Biological exuberance, Bruce Bagemihl documents that: Autoeroticism also occurs widely among animals, both male and female. David Linden, professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, remarks that: ... perhaps the most creative form of animal masturbation is that of the male bottlenose dolphin, which has been observed to wrap a live, wriggling eel around its penis. Sexual activity in bonobos is very high, yet the rate of reproduction is the same as a chimpanzee.

[34][35], A review from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine says:[36], [The] behavior known within the horse breeding industry as masturbation ... involves normal periodic erections and penile movements. “Smart and insightful reported features about modern masculinity.”, “@WeAreMel is phenomenal ... the best outlet covering digital culture today.”, “I just laughed out loud for a solid five minutes.”, “The rare men’s magazine that has taken upon itself to investigate masculinity, not enforce it. Successful coalitions have usually created a strong bond with each other and will take over prides. This behavior, however, has not been established as any more sexual in nature than a friendly greeting. Although they are relatively the same height, bonobos generally leaner, have smaller heads, and longer legs. [68] It may result in fitness loss because of the waste of time, energy, and nutrients. Although females rule, the role that males play in bonobo society is also often underestimated. The first line of a PLOSOne paper describing fruit-bat fellatio calls oral sex a common part of foreplay among humans that is “seldom observed in animals.” And yet, Bruce Bagemihl, PhD, who compiled the painstakingly detailed encyclopedia of gay animal sex Biological Exuberance, notes the abundance of animals that have been observed having oral sex. People often have the idea that any species other than human beings only engages in sex for the purposes of reproduction, but zoologists know that to be patently false: just like people, many species of animals also engage in sex for pleasure, comfort and/or social bonding. Male lions engage in mounting with other male lions, especially when in search for another pride. [79], Juvenile male chimpanzees have been recorded mounting and copulating with immature chimps. © 1998 - 2020 Scarleteen/Heather Corinna. Unlike other primates aggression is substituted with sex. Separated by the river, bonobos live on the left bank while chimps and gorillas live on the right bank. The first line of a PLOSOne paper describing fruit-bat fellatio calls oral sex a common part of foreplay among humans that is “seldom observed in animals.” And yet, Bruce Bagemihl, PhD, who compiled the painstakingly detailed encyclopedia of gay animal sex Biological Exuberance, notes the abundance of animals that have been observed having oral sex. In some cases of animal oral sex, scientists have a hunch about the motivations. Infants in bonobo societies are often involved in sexual behaviour.

“This isn’t quite [in line] with the stereotype of them being peaceful.”. Oral sex can be -- and has been for a long, long time -- receptive for people with vulvas too: the technical term we currently use for that, cunnilingus, also dates back to the late 1800's. You should always consult your own healthcare provider if you have a health problem or medical condition. [9] As partners, both animals will engage in sexual activities with each other. It has been observed in mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs. Primatologists, however, really know how to take the fun out of female Japanese macaque orgasms: “The female turns her head to look back at her partner, reaches back with one hand, and grasps the male.” Snooze. For most of human history, as far as we can tell, people have used their genitals, hands and mouths to explore sexual pleasure and the people they are close to. However, the practice might have been a consequence of homosexual rearing, as the male orangutan in this dyad had had extensive same–sex experience.

"Whereas the chimpanzee shows little variation in the sexual act, bonobos behave as if they have read the Kama Sutra, performing every position and variation one can imagine," biologist Frans de Waal said in the March issue of National Geographic magazine. This means passing along the precious package of one’s genetic material to the next generation—a.k.a. ... tongue kissing, and oral sex. Females will also often use genital rubbing to defuse tension between two rival groups, avoiding the kinds of violence seen in chimp wars.

A newly discovered species of spider in Madagascar, Darwin’s bark spider, might nibble female genitalia during sex to either solidify or remove a sperm plug with its saliva. For them, homosexuality is not an issue.[56]. "Violent interspecific sexual behavior by male sea lions (Otariidae): evolutionary and phylogenetic implications." [10], Recent studies using positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has provided evidence proving that chemical changes that occur with emotions are similar between humans and non-human animals. Auto-fellatio or oral sex in animals is documented in fruit flies,[43] spiders (Darwin's bark[44] and widow[43]), brown bears,[45] stump-tailed macaques,[46] Tibetan macaques,[47] wolves,[48] goats, primates, hyenas,[49][self-published source] bats,[50] cape ground squirrels[51] and sheep (see section Masturbation for details). [19][21] Morris (1970) also described one heterosexual orangutan dyad where all penetration was anal. Not only does no one teach them to do that, parents terrified their kids are going to choke to death or poison themselves will usually drive themselves batty trying to get infants and toddlers to STOP doing that. A variety of creative techniques are used, including genital stimulation using the hand or front paw (primates, Lions), foot (Vampire Bats, primates), flipper (Walruses), or tail (Savanna Baboons), sometimes accompanied by stimulation of the nipples (Rhesus Macaques, Bonobos); auto-fellating or licking, sucking and/or nuzzling by a male of his own penis (Common Chimpanzees, Savanna Bonobos, Vervet Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Thinhorn Sheep, Bharal, Aovdad, Dwarf Cavies); stimulation of the penis by flipping or rubbing it against the belly or in its own sheath (White-tailed and Mule Deer, Zebras and Takhi); spontaneous ejaculations (Mountain Sheep, Warthogs, Spotted Hyenas); and stimulation of the genitals using inanimate objects (found in several primates and cetaceans). [2] There have also been observations of animals engaging in homosexual behaviors,[3][4] as well as sex with dead animals[5] and sex involving juveniles.

But still—evidence for pleasurable animal sex is piling up. If you were to sit on a raft and drift downriver towards the Atlantic Ocean, you would find chimpanzees occupying the right bank and bonobos on the left. In one reported observation, a male spotted hyena attempted to mate with a female hyena, but she succeeded in driving him off. Observed non-procreative sexual activities include non-copulatory mounting (without penetration, or by the female), oral sex, genital stimulation, anal stimulation, interspecies mating, and acts of affection.

It can be hard for scientists to determine why animals have oral. We can find groups of animals engaging in almost any kind of behavior we find human beings engaging in. Similar to humans, non-human animals also have a sensory system.
