The development of sexuality in human and non-human primates is an important topic, to understand the ontogenetic pathways of sexual behavior, but it is relatively understudied. Research with non-human primates shows that, even before birth, social and hormonal environments influence the development of species' typical sexual behavior. However, very little is known about these early sexua…
The development of the sexuality in primates, humans and non-humans, is an important topic to understand the ontogenetic courses of the sexual behavior, but it's relatively not much studied. Non-humans primates studies have shown that, since before the birth, the social and hormonal environment influence on the development of the typical sexual behavior of the species. However, little is …
Non-conceptive sexual behavior is widespread in the animal kingdom, including primate species. The behavioral patterns of non-conceptive sex are as diverse as in reproductive sex, and they may include courtships, vocalizations, genital stimulations, and/or mounts between same-sex or different-sex partners. Sexual behavior in prepuberal individuals is non-conceptive because of their immatu…
