Monkey breeding is the practice of mating monkeys in captivity with the intent to maintain or produce young. Monkeys reproduce without human interference, so their offsprings' characteristics are determined by natural selection. Captive bred monkeys may be intentionally bred by their owners.
Sexual coercion among animals is the use of violence, threats, harassment, and other tactics to help them forcefully copulate. [1] Such behavior has been compared to sexual assault , including rape , among humans.
Sexual cannibalism is a behaviour in which a female animal kills and consumes the male before, during, or after copulation. Sexual cannibalism confers fitness advantages to both the male and female. [78] Sexual cannibalism is common among insects, arachnids [79] and amphipods. [79] There is also evidence of sexual cannibalism in gastropods and ...
As humans, it's common knowledge that having an affair is taboo -- something that should clearly be kept secret -- but a recent study shows that macaque monkeys think of sexual affairs as being ...
Same-sex sexual behaviors likely evolved following the divergence of New World monkeys; [100] these behaviors are a conserved trait among Old World monkeys and apes. [101] Among Old World monkeys, same-sex genital interactions are much more common in multi-male systems as opposed to uni-male systems. [102]
Sexual behavior can be classified into behavioral states associated with reward motivation ("wanting"), reward consummation also known as pleasure ("liking"), and satiety ("inhibition"); [12] these behavioral states are regulated in mammals by reward-based sexual learning, fluctuations in various neurochemicals (i.e., dopamine − sexual desire ...
Animal non-reproductive sexual behavior encompasses sexual activities that non-human animals participate in which do not lead to the reproduction of the species. Although procreation continues to be the primary explanation for sexual behavior in animals, recent observations on animal behavior have given alternative reasons for the engagement in sexual activities by animals.

Anisogamy is a form of sexual reproduction which involves the fusion of two unequally-sized gametes. In many animals, there are two sexes: the male, in which the gamete is small, motile, usually plentiful, and less energetically expensive, and the female, in which the gamete is larger, more energetically expensive, made at a lower rate, and ...
