The article gives an ordeal of the sexual behavior of the Bonobos and its significance in establishing the social groups in dispelling tensions and maintaining relationships. Apparently, the Bonobos have a complex relationship than the Chimpanzee cousins. However, the Chimpanzee cousins have rather a unique character that can help inform research in shedding right concerning the human sexual behavior. Similarly to human, Small denotes that Bonobos have the capacity to differentiate sex from production. The sex experience is for the purposes of pleasure like in the case Maiko, Lina, and Lana. In fact, sex socially connects them and helps in developing a close relationship.

The article shows the root of human behavior by tracing it to the primates especially the bonobos. Bonobos have continually exhibited survival instincts, being cooperative, and fostering mutual assistance. But over time humans and the bonobos have in their different measures developed varied mechanism in dealing with aggressive situation. Reconciliation is the most employed mechanism by man to resolve a conflict. In addition, in different situations sex has been used as a tool to address conflicts though not as insidious as with the bonobos. The close similarity in the use of sex to prompt reconciliation is a ritual adversary especially in intimate relationships between human. It is apparent that sexual interests for both human and bonobos to establish a strong bond.

Bonobos can copulate face-to-face an uncommon practice among animals but exhibited by humans. The bigger difference between Bonobos and human is that lack the cognitive ability to differentiate sexes on the premise of age groups. It is quite interesting that copulation between the Bonobos happen after an aggressive occurrence which tends to determine the dominating males. On the other hand, the sexuality of the female bonobo is not determined by the ovulation cycle something that happens in Chimpanzees.

Studying the behavior of the primates in reference to social and sexual relationships it is important to note the variability in comparison with the human, to avoid any possibility of presumptions towards proposing misplaced rationale in coupling research.

It is paramount that the articles offers a comprehensive illustration of the sexuality if primate. The narration of the sexual behavior of the primates is a classic example illustrating the polygyny, long-term bonding and fusion which is a tendency of the males and females which fosters separation while foraging but comes together to have sex from time to time. On the other hand, in the case of humans, their behavior as summarized by Small, provide insights of the research in reference to human anatomy and physiology by following the precedence of lying as to the prudery of the Victorian.

In forging the discussion of sexuality comparing primates and human, women have a tendency similar to that of the men in choosing to turn on to erotica and event go to the extent of employing other option to control the sexuality and even using contraception in an effort to discourage the possibility of copulating which can then cause a pregnancy.

Chimpanzees are similar to female bonobos when it comes to parenting and nursing young ones for up to the age of five. Once the young ones become of ages and attain adolescence they are independent and can give their first birth at the age of 13-14 years.

The arousal of sex among the bonobos is quite instant when triggered since the excitement is illustrated through mounting and having genital contacts between the opposite sexes.

Fascinating is the close similarity of sexual receptivity between the bonobos, other primates and human female. The tumescent phase of sexual arousal is detected on the genitalia of the female once they swell and turn pink and signal to illustrate an invitation for the male to come together and mate. As it is not affected by the ovulation cycle, the bonobo female is in most times sexually active and always ready to copulate.

She regards seriously the latest evidence that homosexuality may in part be genetic, but she asserts that the larger question is why human sexuality is a continuum, not nice neat packages of this or that. As for fantasies of sex via virtual reality or high-tech sex via surrogate motherhood, she sees them as just that fantasies or high-tech solutions for the rich and famous. For the rest of us, mating is a complex drive that comes with positive reinforcement. We enjoy it plus it enables us to pass on our genes. Small is the first to admit she doesnt have all the answers what she does point out is how much lore we need to unlearn, and that is the beginning of wisdom.

Using the information in the article, the author notes the often close relationship between sex and food, and for that reason can be deemed similar to human behavior. Women have the capacity copulate throughout the year even during the ovulation cycle and still maintain strong sex drive in exchange of marital commitment to conjugal rights and paternal care and to raising a nuclear family which is also exhibited by the bonobo family.

Small suppositions attempt to link the sexuality of the female as to be favored by natural selection. Natural selection has allowed women to have maternal instincts in taking care of young ones and the larger family even without any assistance. Nature has granted them the capacity. On the other hand, the bonobos have not a defined family set up as they lack an exclusive heterosexual relationship though to some extent their behavior tends to exhibit various elements of the aforementioned model.

On the case of the article, Small is seemingly denoting that no effort even an attempt to moralize will foster its disappearance in the society and forms as a critical aspect in human life to create family. The same applies to the bonobos even with the peculiarities as it helps to conceptualize the sexual behavior and evolution in the human society. It is quite fascinating that primate specialists have taken the task to educate the audience considering we have never had to read about the sexuality of chimpanzees and the baboons.

Sexuality and how it is conceptualized in our society and how a woman is perceived as an object have engendered an intense debate among feminist protagonists and the antagonists. However, the society especially the conservatives have made all the attempts to bring in diversionary antics, but even with the high stakes to dismiss the debate, the efforts have not been such fruitful. In debating the hot topic, issues there are question that have arose such as, will feminism, with the gains achieved, relent to the conservative forces Will the debate stand against time to prompt women liberation in the so much patriarchal oriented system, in consideration of the challenges and conflicting perspectives in regards to sexual expression Considering the events of the mid-nineties, what does liberation means to women, how do they define their wants However, with a clear understanding the feminine world have multiple desires and goals.

It is certain from the article that the human society have so much to share with the bonobos community except for the DNA. We can probably borrow from the bonobos to have an idea of the experience of a free world, and how to achieve the ideal society.
