Bonobo

Bonobos, or pigmy chimpanzees, are an endangered¹ 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 disputes². Homosexual activists often cite bonobos as examples of animals who perform homosexual acts³, such as genital rubbing, penis fencing, and oral sex upon each other⁴. 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 leg⁵.
