I loved the zebras, the cheetahs, the fruit flies, the octopi and the rest. But The Nature of Sex __limaxed_ with a species I__ never heard of before, __onobos,_ which the narrator also called by their Latin/scientific name Pan paniscus. I knew __an_ as classical Greek mythology__ horned and horny god of the wild, so maybe I shouldn__ have been surprised. But when the bonobos started swinging onto my screen, well_ what can I say? Today, I__e got a whole book__ worth of stuff to say, but back then, I couldn__ utter a word. Imagine looking into an evolutionary funhouse mirror and seeing a side of yourself you__e never seen before, shocking yet deeply familiar. __ho are these vibrant, joyful creatures that look so much like me, only hairier?_ I wondered. __nd what__ with all the sex?_ They weren__ just going at it for procreation. They were engaging in sex for recreation and interpersonal communication, very much like humans, but without the pretense, hypocrisy and shame. I got very excited, but no, I still didn__ want to have sex with them. I wanted to have sex like them (at least occasionally), in that playful yet deeply meaningful way of theirs I started calling the Bonobo Way.

(In reference to swingers) In the meantime, if you wish to declare yourself polyamorous, get used to the fact that the confusion is gong to remain as a pejorative.

I__ no expert, no natural-born talent, definitely no guru. As you__l soon learn, only through a colossal experiment in trial and error did I reach the sexual summit. Although I own up to having worn a cape in a few intimate scenarios, I don__ possess supernatural powers of any kind. Perhaps my IQ is slightly above average, but Mensa isn__ busting down my door. If pressed to define myself, I__ say I__ Horatio Alger between the sheets: a self-made swinging single male. . . with a hefty dose of Buster Keaton mixed in.
