The Monkey and Ape Section

The study of primate sexuality  is a rapidly developing field. It used to be believed that only humans and a handful of species performed sexual acts other than for  procreation, and that animals' sexuality was instinctive and a simple response to the "right" stimulation (sight, scent). Current understanding is that many species believed monogamous have now been proven to be promiscuous or opportunistic in nature, a wide range of species appear both to  masturbate and to use objects as  tools to help them do so, in many species animals try to give and get sexual stimulation with others where procreation is not the aim, and homosexual behavior has now been observed among 1,500 species, and in 500 of those it is well documented.
