not 100% positive but i think that dolphins and humans are the only mammals without a penis bone. almost all mammals have the bone to produce an erection for procreation, but humans and dolphins don't need it.

What about horses and dogs? I don't think they have a bone.

Also, chimpanzees (and probably other primates) have sex for fun. But they are basically humans anyway.

In Washington D.C., no building can be built taller than the Washington Monument.

That is actually an incorrect, but often repeated factoid. The Post just had an article in the past month about some of the false urban legends in the area. No building in DC can be taller than the width of the street (bldg to bldg, not just travel lanes) + 20 feet. It's thought the rule was put in place because that's all the firemen could safely handle.

I took a course on primates in college. There were videos, and it sure seemed like they were doing it for fun. Also, there was one specific type of chimp -- I forget the name, but they are the smartest ones -- who have sex when they get stressed out. Like one chimp will warn the others of danger, and they will all just start screwing. I wish I could remember more details....

The chimpanzee holds the record for the quickest sexual intercourse session at an average of three seconds.

I can tell you one thing, the penguins have it bad.

The penguin only has one single orgasm in a year.

That's not chimps. Those are bonobos.

http://www.blockbonobofoundation.org/

Bonobos have some kind of sex almost every day, usually several times a day.

Females are in heat for three-quarters of their cycle, and many of them copulate even when not in heat, a sexual pattern more like human females than that of any other mammal. Though common chimpanzees only partake in basic reproductive sex, bonobos share all kinds of sexual pleasures, including cunnilingus, fellatio, masturbation, massage, bisexuality, incest, body-licking, sex in different positions, group sex, and lots of long, deep, wet, soulful, French kissing.

Like tantric sex practitioners, or just like two people very much in love, copulating bonobos often look deeply into each other’s eyes.

They are very unique animals.

Wacki wins.

I think I'm gonna start producing bonobo monkey porn. Seems like there's a market for it.
