    Learning from the Bonobos

    Too bad Spitzer couldn't just go to his wife and say, "Honey, I sure would like to play around with another female." Who knows, maybe his wife wants to play with another male. The fact is we humans are more than a little reluctant to acknowledge that we sometimes like to alter our consciousness and alter our sex routines. Fortunately, those who are open about these issues can often find safe and legal ways to satisfy their needs. Those who can't end up like Clinton, Spitzer, and about a billion and a half others who cheat, deceive, and sometimes, get caught.

    Check out this link and ask yourself (as many sociologists already have) if we couldn't possibly learn something from our primate bretheren: http://www.primates.com/bonobos/bonobosexsoc.html
