I've always wandered if humans are the only creatures who have sex for pleasure and not just for procreation.

Monkeys and apes have sex all the time for pleasure alone. The Bonobos are the "worst" if you want to call it that. (Bonobos are the smaller of the two chimpanzee species)\nBonobos have sex face to face like humans, have sex for food, have sex to settle arguments, have sex to get to know each other, etc.etc. Two females frequently rub their genitals together just for fun and pleasure. Pedophyllia and homosexuality are completely accepted and are quite common among Bonobos. Some scientists have speculated that the human-chimpanzee common ancestor was more like bonobos than the common chimpanzee for a variety of reasons some of which are sexual.\n(By the way, the word is "wondered", not "wandered")

Dolphins have sex for pleasure but all other animals do it for reproduction only

The security of unconditional love is unlike anything else you could ever have.  Anyone can have sex, even my pets enjoy a regular amount- but only special people are able to distribute unconditional love.

Let me try this one. Why has condom or any form of contraception came into the minds of people? Simple, because there are more people who take sex casually with less or no regards to its consequences but rather just in order to satisfy lust. The urge to sex in very difficult to control and it is the reason why more people fall to the temptation rather than evade it.\n\nTo God sex is sacred and should only be used in the process of procreation not self satisfaction. But to humans it is interpreted as like the need for hunger, thirst and sleep. It has finally become more of a biologocal need rather than a spiritual need. Thus, the reason why humans began to believe that it is part of the human basic need and do it anytime they want, or any possible ocassion that made them forget the responsibilities of such act.\n\nThat's the reason why catholics believe that contraception is not the real answer. It is the strong human attribute of being Godly that requires him or her to be disciplined and respectful towards sex that really counts if one truly deserves to be called a Christian without the aid of any kind of artificial discipline in the form of contraceptives. This way population rise can also be put in check.\n\nSex is a natural process of procreation that God gave to humans to enjoy within the sanctity of marriage. But how can it be when humans claim to worship God but at the same time lust for sex? \n\nThat's why dogs are called dogs because when a b**ch is in heat, male dogs go crazy and would oftentimes fight each other just to satisfy their lust. But men should be men and men are expected to think and reason the way men should, that's why they belong to the highest hierarchy in the animal kingdom because of this. So why should we go down to the level of the dogs by using artificial contraception and yet demand to be called as decent and educated. This reasoning is just for the apologist of such twisted cause.

If with "doing sex" you meant sexual intercourse with a partner.... only mastu*bation could give you similar satisfying then. Somebody likes some sex toys too.

It may be the result of evolutionary psychology. In the time of our ancestors, forest was the best natural source of privacy away from the communal caves and huts that would be suspect locations of the occurrance of sex. Most of us humans desire to have sex in private. Then there is the question of why we desire to have sex in private in the first place. It is because sex is regarded as a reward for a position of status, yet it is indispensibly necessary for reproducing our genes. When sex is witnessed, it is likely to be seen as a symbol of status and/or a challenge to someone else's dominance. Even in modern times, the older generation dominates the younger generation by restricting all things sexual, and there is a mutual dominance between bound partners that forbids sex with others. Evidently we haven't come far from our australopithecine ape ancestors.

humans are mammals, which, yes, are animals.  humans are animals, and as such, fall prey to the same biological urges.  the main drive in life is procreation.  :)  life begets life and all that jazz.

I do not think so.  But they do seem to have more respect for themselves.\n\nIdeas about sex seem to fall into two separate concepts.  One one hand, sex is just a physical release for a biological urge.  People who believe this usually believe that "the more the merrier."  On the other hand are people who who believe that sex is a another form of personal expression.  These people would only have sex with someone who they have deep feelings for.  This includes, but is not limited to, those who believe in sex only after marriage.

Research a little. Many of the other species of animal are monogamous.

Darwin's theory of evolution isn't so fickle an idea that it can be disowned by some horny sheep.  Most animals that show homosexual behavior, still mate and breed heterosexually.  Sex feels good to animals too.  And sometimes, sex is just sex.

we have birth control means and measures. we can do it for pleasure and for procreation. given the opportunity for other animals to have sex like us the surface of the earth would have been full of animals long before we could make guns to kill them off. so may be we would not even be advanced enough to communicate like this. now do not ask me who made the arrangement (GOD or NATURE)

I think maybe if society brought us up to be physically attracted to chocolate, we would be. Or maybe it's just in our nature to be aroused by our own species, because in the end, that is what gives us life?

Maybe because some people do not think about nothing but sex all the time...

Yes there are, because sex shouldn't be the end all and be all in a relationship.  Plus it's 2006 we have the technology to ummmmm..... substitute for sex :p
