Nothin' but mammals
Speaking of getting horny, how about those damn bonobos? With their rampant orgies and frequent female self-pleasuring, who doesn't want to devolve? But primates aren't the only mammals strokin' it up. Elephants use their trunks. Dolphins rub up against seaweed. And killer whales, well . . . that's a bit of a mystery (it's been awhile since we rented Free Willy), but some scientists claim it happens. Though birds don't have the typical naughty bits to fondle, some males will apparently rub their cloaca (reproductive gland) against objects until ejaculation.
Call it what you will . . .
