And I'm not talking about a dog licking his balls. I mean with a partner.

We're not the only tool users.

We're not the only animals that can use language.

We're not the only animals that make war, or smile.

Are we the only ones that have oral sex?

Pigmy Chimps do and some species of dolphin I think.

Don't know if they swallow though.

ya, i heard dalphins had sex just for fun but didn't know they gave head to??? interesting :eek: ;)
 
A boar will copulate with a female's nostril, I think that's unique.
 
Many species of monkeys as well as bonobos have oral sex.
 
Dogs lick their genitals and I bet it's not all cleanliness.

Most whales also have dicks 1/3 the size of their bodies. Ron Jeremy eat your heart out. Try deep throating that LOL

That also means that a blue whale has a 30 foot penis (give or take) :eek:

Other animals have oral/genital contact but I'm not sure I'd call it oral sex. Mostly sniffing hormones and pheromones. There prob others that do have full oral but I couldn't tell you which.

But humans have turned it into an art form :D
 
I've seen bulls lick a cow's vulva, and the cow (obviously ovulating) stand and not walk away. I don't know if they technically had 'sexual relations', though:D
 
bonobos also have sex face to face, that's pretty rare in the animal kingdom.

I thought so but wasn't sure of which species.

Believe it or not I had to know which species had oral sex for a class, but I can't remember any more.

How can you forget such a golden nugget of information?
:p

Wow, primatology has really changed since I took those courses.

GP: The 3 great apes do practice missionary. Not sure about the lesser ones. Prob cause the males want to see those hairy breasts!

As an aside for the primate buffs:
I heard of an experiment done to see if female chimps can have the big O. Apparently, with lots of tickling, they can. I can't help but chuckle at the poor grad student who had to carry out that experiment.

Bonobos also have an unusually high degree of homosexual activity.

There has been some speculation that if we had descended from bonobos instead of chimps we would have been a much more peaceful and much more sexual species.

Nobody knows which species shares our closest common ancestor (we did not "descend" from either), but many believe that we are more closely related to bonobos than to chimps for several reasons.

I wrote a humorous essay on that exact topic. :D

Guess they must have misheard humans talking about anal sex and started sticking it in the nasal.
 
Human is the only species I'll have oral sex with

A definite hard limit here

Call me prudish
 
As has been mentioned, Bonobo Monkeys have both oral sex and sex in the missionary position.

But, so that they can make a rightful claim as the "party animals" of the animal kingdom, they also have group sex, have sex standing up, occasionally engage in anal sex, and enjoy mutual masturbation.

I did a project on them in my Psych 101 class. :)

You did a project on them and you don't know they're NOT monkeys?! :p
