I know Bonobos, an ape species, regularly engage in various sexual practices, including bisexuality and, of all things, paedophilia. To quote the primatologist Frans de Waal:
"Paedophilia is not a hang-up with bonobos; all kinds of philia seem fine to them."
"The Ancestor's Tale", Richard Dawkins, pg. 110.
Beyond advising humans not to suddenly start behaving like bonobos (I doubt most people would want to anyway...), I don't know what to say...
