One common misconception is that sex's only function should be reproduction because that is how it was created in nature.

In fact, this is very false. The entire Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sexuality can be used to prove this false. This is because animals have sex for pleasure; not only this, but they also participate in masturbation, necrophilia, acts with sex toys, homosexual acts, rape, and oral sex.

In addition to this information, we can turn to http://www.mypleasure.com/education/qanda/questions/1058.asp to further support the information.

Probably the best example is that of the bonobos (often erroneously known as pygmy chimpanzees). Bonobos are closer genetically to humans than any other animal, including the common chimp. In fact, we share over 99.7 percent of our genes. These primates have sex in every position imaginable, including some swinging, upside-down ones that humans can but dream about! They engage in frequent sexual activities even when the female is not in heat, and engage in sexual behaviors (including oral and manual sex) a lot. Most have some kind of sex every day, usually several times a day.


Straying away from the topic of sex among animals, the purpose of a woman's clitoris is widely believed to be only for sexual pleasure. Below is a list of sites supporting this claim. (NOTE: Some sites may be inappropriate for younger viewers.)

So if sex was made only for procreation, then why do women have a clitoris, and how can animals' sexual behavior be explained?
