Which animals (except humans) enjoy having sex?

Of course all ‘higher’ animals enjoy having sex of course. Do you think they do it because they have rationalised that several months later the act will result in puppies?\n\n‘Lower’ animals like fish or invertebrates probably don’t enjoy it. It’s just a preprogrammed instinct and about as enjoyable as a washing machine going through a spin cycle.\n\n\nI have no idea where this myth that only dolphins and apes have sex for fun comes from. Quite clearly humans are the only species of mammal that has sex for any reason except for fun.\n\nWhile some humans will have sex for reproduction or out of obligation even if they don't or can't enjoy it no mammlas have that capability.

Humans are not the only ones. Primates do and yes dogs and cats do as well. Other sexually reproducing species go through oestrous cycle. Very similar to menstrual cycle, except it isn't always seasonal. Some rodents for example ovulate every 4-5 days; while others are induced ovulators meaning they only ovulate after sex. Both types have cyclical endocrine changes that lead to ovarian changes and ovulation. Interesting tidbit though is that humans are the rare ones...other species only have sex to procreate...humans have sex whether they can have kids or not (while they are pregnant or elderly, for example).

Not all animals have multiple partners.many have the same one year after year.to reproduce. However most of the animals just mate to reproduce and that's all. they just don't go having sex with every species of their kind just have sex,like us wonderful humans tend to do.for animals it's not about how many chicks they can get "laid" by.It's only to keep their species in existence..

There are some animals that mate for life, but i think that we shouldn't try to view their emotions in terms of human emotions. But I'm sure that they do lust after one another. Otherwise i don't think there would be much mating going on.

People enjoy pleasure and since sex is pleasurable they like it.  Some like the power over pleasing another, while others just enjoy the receiving of pleasure.  Some love the rush of an orgasm, which is addictive like a drug and u seek it out each time you have sex.  I love sex because it is primal, passionate, hot, raunchy, nasty, fun, exciting, sometimes wrong, pleasurable with hints of pleasurable pain.  I love you sex!

Yes.  A whale is a mammal, and one characteristic of all mammals is that they reproduce sexually.

That doesn't sound right, if they're talking about critters that have sexual intercourse at all (as opposed to procreating other ways).\n\nI would think that most females have, as males aren't all that choosy about where they donate their sperm.\n\nToo bad you don't say where you got this. I mean, besides "the net" -- oh, THERE, that tiny place.\n\n;-)\n\nUnless it's more a comment on life expectancy, saying that most critters die before they have a chance to, well, you know.\n\nSo, where'd you come across this tidbit, what animals are included in the statistic, and why would this be?\n\n(I'll check back in hopes you respond.)\n\nEdit: You may (if you're interested enough) want to troll around newscientist.com and similar sites. New Scientist is the UK's version of Scientific American -- the site has science news, and search facility (though you have to pay to access everything, they do have a lot available for non-subscribers).\n\nI may give it a go next time I'm there.\n\nTrouble is, coming from a non-expert (that is, a psychologist), I wonder if this is one of those non-facts that gets picked up and repeated and is completely wrong.\n\nThough, if you include all animals, including insects, then maybe. Relatively few bees and ants, for example, have sex, and they'd account for a big proportion of "all animals."\n\nIn which case it's completely irrelevant to a discussion of human sexuality.

No.  It speaks to the fallacy of the assumption that we are not animals.\n\nWe spend a hugely inordinate amount of time and energy pursuing sexual activity.  We're as driven by it as any other animal.  We may like to spin stories about the nobilities of our loves and lusts, but at the end of the day, it's the same instinct that inspires rabbits.  Or salmon.  Or any of the many creatures which mate for life, or unto death.  \n\nAny social creation such as law, religion, or tradition which purports to moderate or control behavior is only as evolved as its creators.   Our preoccupation with things sexual reflects our  nature.

Because it wants to have sex.

To answer this, I believe we first need to look at the definition of an orgasm. An Orgasm is the peak of sexual excitement, where males usually ejaculate. So assuming that every mammal reproduces sexually, it would be safe to assume that most mammals do have orgasms of some sort.

Because no matter what we think, we are still just animals.\nIt is biologically ingrained into us to want sex.

bonobo chimpanzees use sex to resolve conflict, instead o aggression.  Bonobo chimpanzees can be seen at the Milwaukee zoo or check out on google.  Interesting stuff.
