Baboons have also been noted to practice homosexual intercourse and other non- procreative sex acts. It seems to me that using any argument about what other animals do in the management of their sex lives, is total absurdity. Certainly most animals have little or no choice in whether to have intercourse, and most feel compelled to have sex when in rut. One of the many wonderful features of being a human, in my opinion, is that we are little controlled by instinct. We have the choice to have sex or not, to create babies or not. Let us not demean ourselves by stooping to arguments which compare human action to that of other mammals, reptiles or birds. People who do are likely more closely associated with turkeys than other people.
