About Sex

All vertebrates, from reptiles to primates and even humans, reproduce by the male internally fertilizing the female. It takes a relatively short time for a male to actually pass on his genes to the female. Male monkeys get the job done with just a few thrusts in as little as 8 seconds, and seldom longer than 20 seconds. Thankfully, during the approximately 5 million years since humans split off from the chimpanzees, male humans have learned to take more time than their primate ancestors. (At least some guys have learned to take more time to get the job done.)

Male monkeys and apes have a bone that clicks into place to hold a perfectly erect working tool. Humans share 98.5 per cent of the same DNA with chimps, but regrettably men do not still have that particular bone gene!
