There is a new brand of feminism that men around the world are identifying with and celebrating, including well-known feminist Dean Wells from Married at First Sight.
Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest relative to humans. More often than the males, female bonobos engage in mutual genital behaviour, possibly to bond socially with each other, thus forming a female nucleus of bonobo society.
The bonding among females enables them to dominate most of the males. Although male bonobos are individually stronger, they cannot stand alone against a united group of females.
“Men have had it too good for too long, it’s time to be dominated by women, and the way of the Bonobo monkey is the future” says leading sociologist Professor Geoff Selby.
Amongst bonobo monkeys sexual activity generally plays a major role in bonobo society, being used as what some scientists perceive as a greeting, a means of forming social bonds, a means of conflict resolution, and postconflict reconciliation.
“I reckon it’d be awesome” says Jake a local plumber.
Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in tongue kissing. Bonobos and humans are the only primates to typically engage in face-to-face genital sex.
Bonobos do not form permanent monogamous sexual relationships with individual partners.
They also do not seem to discriminate in their sexual behavior by sex or age, with the possible exception of abstaining from sexual activity between mothers and their adult sons.
When bonobos come upon a new food source or feeding ground, the increased excitement will usually lead to communal sexual activity, presumably decreasing tension and encouraging peaceful feeding. This quality is also described by Dr Susan Block as “The Bonobo Way” in her book of the same title “The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace Through Pleasure”.
“Jeez, imagine it. I’m in.” said 22-year-old engineering student Riley.
