BDSM In Primates – It’s Natural To Be Submissive

BDSM In Primates

There are reasons why women like being handcuffed, bound and gagged. It goes back as far as time itself when women were dominated by Alpha Males. Tendencies of submissive and dominant BDSM in primates have been shown since the earliest records. Then in more modern times dominant religions, societies and groups raped, pillaged and plundered villages. Let’s have a look into the background as to how people and primates sexual lifestyles relate to each other.

Female Mammals And The Method Of Conception

Female mammals can have a regular period of sexual openness and fertility where they are able to have intercourse with numerous males. In some cases the female monkey is sexually assaulted by the contenders that she does not want. Any one of the sexual partners could have been the father to the subsequent newborn monkey baby. This depends on which sperm reaches and fertilises the ovary first.

Rape was used by people within dominant religions, societies or groups like the Vikings and Mongolians as a conception method. It was hypothesized that monkey’s also used it as a method of conception. Rape as a method of conception is truly outdated and is a crime.

Can Female Monkeys Really Orgasm? – BDSM In Primates

In 1996, a book titled “Human Sexual Response” by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, it acknowledged that women experienced orgasms. It was speculated that the female orgasm was one of the reasons why women were aroused by having sex with men. In the mid 1970’s it was generally accepted by primatologists, that the non-human female primates did not encounter orgasm. Primatologists later examined the sexual physiology of wild female gorillas and monkeys, who found that orgasms within these female primates happened commonly. M Small wrote in her book Female Choices, Sexual Behaviour of Female Primates:

‘Non-human primate females commonly experience multiple orgasms during sex’

To settle the civil argument lab based researchers placed female monkeys from the Macaca Mulatta species into lower leg cuffs and canine restraints. To force the monkey to orgasm, they stimulated it’s clitoris and used an instrument that mimicked a monkey’s penis into the animal’s vagina. They watched the monkeys experience climax. Three stages were noted, the first stage of clitoral and vaginal incitement. The second stage where the monkey snorts, calls and made surprised facial expressions. The last stage after climax where the female tries to get away. These discoveries are documented in the Burton, F D (1970).  It has been found that when the female reaches orgasm it helps to the male monkey ejaculate.

People And Primates With Sexually Dimorphic Features

People and primates (including lemurs, monkeys and apes) can have sexually dimorphic features that are not attributed to their gender. These features can include different colourings, markings, sizes and behaviours that influence sex drive, arousal and levels of testosterone.

How Testosterone Impacts Sexual Arousal

At the first stage of the menstrual cycle a woman’s testosterone levels increase. When they ovulate their testosterone reaches its highest levels and during the last portion of the cycle their testosterone levels fall. Both men and women with high levels of testosterone are noted to have higher sex drives. Furthermore, it also appears that women who are within their fertile stages have higher sex drives. It is hypothesised that women with higher levels of testosterone are more interested in Alpha Males. In the case that your female lover loves being dominated in the bedroom she may have higher levels of testosterone.

BDSM In Primates – Found In The Wild

Observations of the behaviour of primates across a variety of different species can be noted:

1. Social Hierarchy: In many primate species, social hierarchies influence interactions, with dominant males often controlling key resources. Female submission in these hierarchies can be a strategy to gain protection and access to resources provided by dominant males.
2. Mating Strategies: Female primates may exhibit submissive behaviors as part of mating strategies. Submission can sometimes be a tactic to appease more aggressive males or to avoid conflict with dominant females, thereby securing a safer environment for raising offspring.
3. Conflict Avoidance: Submissive behavior in female primates can be a means of conflict avoidance. By showing submission, females may reduce the risk of injury from aggressive encounters, which is crucial for their survival and the care of their young.
4. Parental Investment: The high parental investment required from female primates (e.g., long gestation and care periods) often makes risk avoidance a priority. Submissive behaviors can facilitate more stable and less confrontational relationships within the group, directly impacting the survival rates of offspring.
5. Social Bonding: Submission can also play a role in social bonding among females, helping to establish stable group dynamics. This can be crucial for cooperative breeding and parenting, where help from other females in the group enhances the survival of an individual’s offspring.

BDSM Play – BDSM in Primates

With all of this in mind, the female climax originates before speech was ever invented. Our ancient female monkeys demonstrated how they were able to build up orgasms in response to physical stimulation. These days women may enjoy participating in primitive like sex through BDSM play where both participants in the sexual activity are aware of all the risks involved and partake in a safe environment.  They may enjoy using restraints like handcuffs and Japanese bondage rope. Or they may like sensory deprivation by using blindfolds, masks and hoods.

Outside of the bedroom your lover may act as a dominant person in a social setting. But when the tables are turned and you are back in the privacy of your bedroom, he or she may love being a submissive who is bound and controlled by restraints and dominated by their lover.  As it turns out what a person is interested in kinky sex can be completely different to what they are interested in their day to day life.

What Does This Mean To Me?

This exploration of BDSM in primates and humans highlights the complex interplay of biology and behavior that influences sexual dynamics across species. Our understanding of these interactions deepens when we consider the evolutionary aspects of sexual behaviors, including dominance and submission. Ultimately, the diversity of sexual expressions, whether in the wild or in human relationships, underscores the nuanced nature of our biological heritage and personal preferences.
