Bonobos!  Woohoo!

Ha ha, now that I got my bonobo frenzy out of the way...

Sure, bonobos use sex as a social stabilizer...but what about chimps,
gorillas, etc?  Bonobos are the unusual ones, they are the only species I
know of that does this...which is what makes them interesting. :)

Taking two unrelated facts and sticking em together doesn't prove much of
anything.
