Better to be a Chimpanzee 
Barbara Ehrenreich


Excerpt:
Another reason to make the human-to-ape transition 
is the sex, at least if you're smart enough to declare 
yourself a bonobo or pygmy chimpanzee. Bonobos, 
who are genetically as close to humans as larger 
chimpanzees, use sex much as we use handshakes - 
as a form of greeting between individuals in any 
gender combination. See an old friend, and you 
start rubbing genitals together, with mutual orgasm 
serving as a hearty "How ya doin', pal?" Plus, bonobo 
bands are female-dominated, which should be a 
special enticement to women investigating their 
chimpanzee transition options. . . .
