Mistress
and slave actually took a night off from the local music scene last night. Six nights on the town in a row meant it was time for a low key “staycation” watching the
sunset as we dined al fresco on our patio. We were even too lazy for TV,
resorting to some reading side by side in bed and an early curtain call.
Rest
assured we got our daily sexual rituals in though. Mistress has been refreshing
her cock riding skills since we dropped our Domme in Training off at the
airport a week ago. Mistress seems
not to have missed a beat. And of
course, slave is happy to be ridden hard and put up wet, like one of the local ornamental horses Mistress admires on our morning bike ride.
But
today’s blog picks up on a post several days ago by Terri over at “A Married
Sissy” on the prospects of a more female dominant society. It turns out that the the lady bonobos
of the Congo have figured it out, according to this article in the New York
Times. In
the Bonobo World, Fem#9AA7F5.
The
article describes how female bonobos will join forces to put overly aggressive
males in their place, assuring that the guys quickly get in line and defer to
their ladies’ leadership. While
other primates are male dominant, the Bonobos have taken a different path:
In the bonobo world, by contrast, female camaraderie prevails,
while the bonds between males are weak. “It’s a matriarchy,” said Amy Parish, a
primatologist at the University of Southern California. “Females are running
the show.”
The interesting twist is that with
the ladies in charge, sex appears to be a very high priority:
Bonobos
are famed for their hypersexuality and the way they use sex as an all-purpose
problem solver in every possible situation, permutation and combination. When
bonobos come upon a great patch of fruit, for example, and tensions rise over
feeding priority, the bonobos will decompress with a quick round of
genito-genital rubbing and similar acts: males with females, males with males, females
with females, juveniles with adults.
Female
bonobos in Congo’s LuiKotale forest use
specialized gestures and pantomime to convey their desire for a bit
of girl-on-girl frottage, according to a report last year by Pamela Douglas and
Liza Moscovice of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
in Germany. The soliciting female will point backward with a foot toward her
sexual swelling and then shimmy her hips in imitation of a rub, at which
display the second bonobo will embrace her for the real thing.
“It’s
status acknowledgment,” said Barbara Fruth, a bonobo researcher at the Royal
Zoological Society in Antwerp, Belgium. “The approaching female is
saying, ‘I know you’re higher-ranking than I am, I know you’re superior, but I
would like to sit near you and maybe share your food.’”
Bonobos
tongue-kiss, practice oral sex, have intercourse face-to-face, and make sex
toys. Frances White, a biological anthropologist at the University of Oregon,
once watched a female bonobo turn a stick into a kind of knobby “French
tickler,” with which she then stimulated herself. “They’re not always family
friendly,” Dr. White said.
Such
erotic antics have earned bonobos a reputation as laid-back “hippie apes,” a
label that researchers say belies the primate’s strategic intelligence and
capacity for brutality. Dr. Parish, who studies bonobos in captivity, has seen
the young offspring of dominant females flaunt their inherited power by
marching over to lesser-ranking female adults, prying their jaws open and
extracting the food from their mouths.
She
also recounted the time that two females attacked a male at the Stuttgart
Zoo in Germany and bit his penis in half. Fortunately, she said, “a
microsurgeon at the zoo was able to repair the damage, and the male went on to
reproduce.”
If bonobos have a penchant for sex
toys, you have to wonder how long it will take for them to improvise some sort
of “cock cage” to keep their males in line, as Diane does so will
with Terri. Certainly that is a
more merciful remedy than having your cock bitten in half. Plus my guess is
that it’s hard to come up with a good micro-surgeon in the bush.
