Many people believe that humans are the only beings on this planet that enjoy sex. But there are several animals that have sex for pleasure. But how do we know that these animals enjoy sex? One example is bonobos; they will mate even when pregnant, proving they get pleasure from being intimate.
In addition, there are some species that mate with members of the same sex, which serves no purpose except to provide themselves with pleasure.

Primates and humans have a lot in common, and that is due to our sharing a common ancestor. Although that happened more than 5 million years ago, we still share a lot of behaviors like social bonds, dealing with conflicts in groups, a long infant dependency period, and reliance on learning how to find food and what to eat.
But there are two species that mimic human behavior the most: chimpanzees and bonobos. However, scientists know more about chimpanzee behavior than bonobos because bonobos are harder to find. This is because these primates only live in a small area in Zaire, Africa.
Male and female bonobos often mate face-to-face, which is an unusual position for animals. However, the male will typically mount the female from behind, but females seem to prefer the face-to-face position.
Usually, when the male mounts from behind, the female bonobo will stop. By this time, the female is very excited, and she will change position and mate face-to-face.
Researchers assume that the reason for this position is due to the female’s anatomy. Female bonobos have enlarged clitorises, and their sexual swellings are positioned far forward, meaning the face-to-face position feels better.
The Bonobo’s Crazy Sex Life
Bonobos are very similar to humans when it comes to separating sex from reproduction. They treat sex like some sort of social glue to determine relationships and seem to find it intensely pleasurable.
The majority of the time, bonobos don’t mate to reproduce. In fact, they have sex more frequently and in various positions than the average human couple. For example, males and females both mount each other, and female bonobos will rub their genitals against other females.
In addition, males will stand back-to-back and push their scrotums together. Surprisingly, juveniles also participate in sexual exploits by rubbing their genitals against adults. However, ethologists don’t believe that adult males will penetrate juvenile females.
The younger bonobos will perform oral sex on each other; for example, males will French kiss and suck on each other’s penises.

The chimpanzee is humans’ closest relative, so it’s easy to see why we are so similar. And, just like people, chimps are social creatures that form stable communities, with males, females, and juveniles living together for extended periods.
However, there are many differences between the two species. Female chimpanzees tend to be more promiscuous and wait longer between births. In addition, both male and female chimps engage in a greater variety of sexual strategies than humans.
Another thing chimps have in common with humans is they become sexually mature at approximately the same time. However, they differ in their social structures, especially the fact that there are strict male hierarchies, and females are subservient to their male counterparts.

But, the most significant sign that chimps have sex for pleasure is that they will have sex even when copulation is impossible, like while the female is already pregnant.
Female chimps generally mate with several males at the peak of their fertility. However, sometimes, the dominant male will prevent the female from having sex with other males, even if they are not interested in that female.
In some groups of chimpanzees, sexual partners will leave the community for days or weeks, where they will mate over and over again. But some females will join troops outside their communities and participate in group sex.
In addition, males will violently compete for sexual partners. They also mate all year round, which strongly indicates that they take pleasure from sex, but it’s not all fun and games.
Female Chimps May Not Be Able To Choose Their Mate
Females aren’t always willing participants, and males will often become violent to coerce females into mating. While males believe they are disarming the females’ resistance to sex, their behavior is similar to sexual assault or rape in humans.
However, males can be more indirect by keeping females away from other males, so they have no choice in who they mate with. Unfortunately, this behavior negatively impacts the chimps’ population numbers, as keeping an ovulating female to themselves limits sperm competition and may result in fewer pregnancies.
Another way males forcefully coerce females into sex is by killing infants they believe are not theirs. By doing this, the female will become fertile again, and the male can have his way with her. But strangely, females have also been known to kill the babies of other chimp mothers.
While male otters may be cute and cuddly, their behavior has a dark side. They are extremely aggressive during sex; the male will grab the female, bite her nose, and hold on for dear life. These acts of aggression usually result in deep cuts and lacerations.
Once the male has penetrated the female, the two will spin around until insemination; only then will the male release his grip on the female. Unfortunately, sometimes, this ritual results in the death of the female from either physical trauma or drowning.
But this aggressive sexual assault is not limited to female otters; males will also attack juvenile harbor seals and forcefully copulate with them, most times resulting in the pup’s death from injury or drowning. Furthermore, these male otters will often have sex with the pups long after they have died, up to 7 days.
But what is the reason behind this bizarre and terrifying behavior? Scientists aren’t exactly sure why; some speculate that the males get pleasure from this barbaric ritual, but others think it’s due to the male-female ratios.
Otter populations are increasing, but because so many females die during sex, there are more males than females. As a result, many males are denied opportunities to breed, making them aggressive and frustrated.
