"The researchers could only speculate why the females would want longer-lasting sex." 

And the boffins wonder why they find it so hard to get girlfriends

I saw Gibbons doing it at Roger Williams Park Zoo

Previously, the only animals known to carry out oral sex – apart from humans – were bonobo chimpanzees.

And how long were you watching those gibbons?

Long enough for the gibbons to be creeped out.

Paul Vasey, a behavioral scientist at the University of Lethbridge in Canada, said that there could be evolutionary reasons for fellatio, and that the fruit bat discovery could allow scientists to test it.

Wait, scientists could test what now?

He warned, however, that the bats could just be doing it for fun.

I think this guy believes he has the way to seduce that hot lab assistant...

And how long were you watching those gibbons?

Long enough for the gibbons to be creeped out.

And the word spread, so the whole species stopped doing it.

I see dogs give each other rim jobs all the time.
