Now I'm confused. Do monkeys masturbate?

Yes, I have seen it at three different zoos and all exactly the same
kind of monkey -- quite fittingly (at least euphoniously speaking) the
macaque.



Let me again recommend Mary Roach, "Bonk," which I have now finished. William Dolphin may think it's all about cycling and wall- hitting--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_the_wall--but it's actually about science and sex. The quiet habits of many varieties of primate are considered, including those of humans. J.L.S. may enjoy the section on machinery, which fails to explain that Dildo is not just a mysteriously-named village in Newfoundland; I got this information from the web. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Dildo,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador
