Chimping: The Art of Chimp Pimping

So below I mentioned a bizarre ape study; it turns out bonobos are just bizarre apes.

Wikipedia explains that sex is a major part of this ape's culture, being 'used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconciliation, and a favor traded by the females in exchange for food.' It doesn't say anything about pimping, but it's only a blink of the eye away.

They also engage in penis-fencing. It's a time honored tradition.

I guess this means that I should stop telling people that dolphins are the only other animals to have sex for fun and start talking about penis-fencing. Oh yeah!
