A bonobo is another type of chimpanzee - and a very fascinating group at
that! They use sex to solve just about every imaginable social problem.
It appears that gender, age, relationship to self, and number of
individuals involved have little to do with anything. You should look
into them. Really a very very interesting group!:)
