	Animal sexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although many people believe animal sexuality is instinctive and therefore (it is implied) almost mechanistic, in fact research regularly records that many animals are sexual opportunists, and may show an interest in partners other than their own or related species.
		Animal sexual advances on, and attempted interactions with, humans and other species, have been documented by ethologists such as Kohler, Gerald Durrell and Desmond Morris, as well as authoritative researchers such as Birute Galdikas who studied orangutans in Borneo.
		Sexual monogamy is defined as an exclusive sexual relationship between a female and a male based on observations of sexual interactions.

	A SACRED APPROACH TO THE SPAY AND NEUTER PROCESS
		The animal is seldom consulted on a soul level about her wishes and is left at the mercy of her biological instincts over which she has little or no control.
		Animals given essences and treated in a sacred manner during the spay/neuter process seldom experience complications either physically or emotionally., because in a spiritual sense they are exalted by the process.
		At times the impulse to allow the animal to procreate arises from the same place of distortion in human thinking that encourages many women to have children for reasons that may not be in keeping with their soul purpose or potential.

	Biological Exuberance
		Sexual Exuberance was also cited in 2000 by gay rights groups opposed to Ballot Measure 9, a proposed Oregon statute prohibiting teaching about homosexuality or bisexuality in public schools.
		We shouldn't be using animals to craft moral and social policies for the kinds of human societies we want to live in.
		You have this idea that the animal kingdom is strict, old-fashioned Roman Catholic," she said, "that they have sex just to procreate." In bonobos, she noted, "you see expressions of sex outside the period when females are fertile.

	Prashant's Story - Homosexuality in Animals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		According to Bagemihl, the animal kingdom is a more sexually complex place than most people know - one where couplings routinely take place not just between male-female pairs but also between male-male and female-female ones.
		Animals, however, can be surprisingly prim about when and under whose prying eye they engage in sexual activity; as few as 2,000 species have thus been observed closely enough to reveal their full range of coupling behavior.
		Animals as diverse as elephants and rodents practice same-sex mounting, and macaques raise that affection ante further, often kissing while assuming a coital position.

	International Catholic University: 2.2
		Various contrasts are drawn between human and animal sexuality, especially the human propensity for forming attachments through sexual union and the need for human children to have an extended time of care.
		The multiple varieties of abuse of sexuality and the grievous consequences of such abuse, then, is not only damaging the current generation, it is threatening to ruin the chances of future generations to live happy and fulfilled lives.
		The natural law claim that sexual union should be reserved for marriage, then, has as one of its chief justifications a concern that sexual union is meant to express the desire for a deep and committed relationship with another.

		He commented: 'The possibility is also raised here of thinking about animals as a social group with at least some potential for what might be termed 'transgression' or even 'resistance' when wriggling out of the cages, fields and wildernesses allotted to them by their human neighbours'.
		Animals are unable to understand such practices and cannot resist them; yet they provide the very conditions of possibility for the existence of “pedigree” pets at least.
		Ingold (1994: 2) argues that animals can be autonomous agents and can “act back” in response to human behaviours towards them; they are on occasion able to anticipate or predict human behaviour and act in the light of this anticipation.

	ADLER ARCHIVE: How to Think About Love
		Freud: uninhibited sexuality, sexuality which is not somewhat controlled and sublimated, is not love.
		Love results only when, with some inhibition of sexuality, tender feelings toward the object of sexual desire enter into the picture -- and there is more love and less animal sexuality in proportion as tender impulses predominate over selfish desires.
		It is erotic love, not mere sexuality, because it involves these three things: a) desire to please as well as to be pleased, b) compassion as well as passion, c) understanding of sexual union as a physical form of knowledge or conversation.

		Sexual rights refer to the right to express one’s sexuality, while reproductive rights refer to the right to manage one’s reproductive processes and their outcome.

		Therefore, we shall not consider human sexuality as an extension of animal sexuality; we shall rather explain animal sexuality — in beasts and as it may sometime appear in man as well — as the fall and regression of an impulse that does not belong to biology.
		Although sexual love reaches its greatest importance and strength in man, he reproduces at a lower rate than the animal species." It seems, therefore, that sexual love and multiplication of the species are in an inverted ratio to teach other: The stronger the one, the weaker the other.
		We can therefore conclude that sexual desire is a complex fact of which the physiological is only a part; sexual excitement, which is substantially psychic, forms the primary elements that under various conditions causes physical excitement and sets in motion all the physiological phenomena that accompany the excitement but are often absent prior to it.

	The Hindu : Metro Plus Bangalore / Issues : Gayly ever after
		But with animals, homosexuality might be considered a dead end for procreation.
		Which is why, explains Vidyanand Nanjundiah, Chairman of the Biological Sciences Department at the Indian Institute Science, some theorists explain homosexuality in animals as playful behaviour, a way of showing affection, a way to assert dominance or the result of a stressful situation and so on.
		But zoos restrict animals' social behaviour and make them do `unnatural' things, like for instance, a lizard in a glass cage might get fixated on getting out and scratch the glass so much as to leave actual marks," she points out.

	Re: Could an animal be homosexual?
		Indeed some animals are, at least according to observations by some scientists, in particular, Bruce Bagemihl.
		According to Bagemihl, the animal kingdom is a more sexually complex place than most people know--one where couplings routinely take place not just between male-female pairs but also between male-male and female-female ones.
		Same-gender sexual activity, says Bagemihl, "encompasses a wide range of forms." What struck Bagemihl most is those forms that go beyond mere sexual gratification.

	Jennifer Roback Morse on Marriage on National Review Online
		Sexual activity and childrearing take place inside the private spaces of the home, far outside the reach of the public-enforcement power of the state.
		Sexuality and the family are not simply special cases of political institutions, or of markets based on contracts.
		By contrast, human sexuality is about gift and gratitude: the mutual gift of self to one's partner, the gift of life that results, and the gratitude tinged with awe that is the only reasonable response to both.

		In religions where sexuality, in both its physical and spiritual aspects, is celebrated Snake has been an honored being.

		More interesting to me, though, is the speculation on the sexual origins of language and culture in chapter 2 and the devastating examination in chapter 3 of bigotry in the biological sciences in over two hundred years of observations of animal homosexuality.
		In pursuing this line of thought Begemihl offers interesting descriptions of animals that are nonbreeders, animals that suppress reproduction, animals that segregate the sexes so that reproduction can't happen, animals that engage in birth control, and animals that engage in other nonreproductive behaviors.
		It is an encyclopedia of the queer sexuality of approximately 300 species of mammals and birds.

		In rams who prefer to mount other rams, the anterior preoptic area of the hypothalamus was about half the size of this part of the brain in heterosexual rams, the researchers say in a new report.
