"No animal spends more of its allotted time on Earth fussing over sex than Homo sapiens--not even the famously libidinous bonobo. Although we and the bonobo both average well into the hundreds, if not thousands, of acts of intercourse per birth--way ahead of any other primate--their "acts" are far briefer than ours. Pair-bonded "monogamous" animals are almost always hyposexual, having sex as the Vatican recommends: infrequently, quietly, and for reproduction only. Human beings, regardless of religion, are at the other end of the libidinal spectrum: hypersexuality personified." --
