Bonobos, or pigmy chimpanzees, are an endangered<sup>1</sup> ape species known for their sexual immorality. Proponents of evolutionary psychology often point to bonobos as examples of an evolutionary adaptation in which a species acquired the strategy of bartering sex to enhance social status or to resolve disputes<sup>2</sup>. Homosexual activists often cite bonobos as examples of animals who perform homosexual acts<sup>3</sup>, such as genital rubbing, penis fencing, and oral sex upon each other<sup>4</sup>. The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) argues that acts like scrotal or genital rubbing are not sexual at all. Rather they are aggressive acts to assert dominance much like when a dog mounts a person's leg<sup>5</sup>.
