Cheeky Monkey Sex

 I love Bonobos, if you are not familiar with these little apes, they are a type of chimpanzee. A little smaller than regular chimpanzees, they used to be called dwarf chimps. The thing I like about Bonobos is unlike regular chimps, they are not violent. Regular chimpanzees are like humans, they murder each other, they beat their mates, they can act jealous, they form alliances to overthrow the leaders of their troop, the males are dominant, violent and control the group by pounding on the smaller chimps.

 With Bonobos the females lead the group and are more peaceful. The thing I really like about these little guys is that they resolve conflict through sex, lots of monkey sex. Even more unbelievable is that they are bisexual, males have sex, females have sex, males and females have sex... cue the porn music! These pictures are not mine, I downloaded them from the internet, some had copyright marks, these did not.

 Even better is that this bisexual monkey business, drives rightwing christians nuts. There was supposed to be no homosexuality or bisexuality in the natural world. We know now that the powers that be, had been suppressing this little inconvenient truth in the early days. Bonobos are actually closer related to us than regular chimps. Sometimes I think it would be cool to personally be bisexual, in an open relationship and experience the full picture of human sexuality.

 Maybe people could learn something from these horny little monkeys, less conflict more love.... making. Also interesting, these apes sometimes have sex facing each other like people, unlike the other chimpanzees that mate like animals.

  Turn down the lights, turn up the music and pass the bananas.
