Rather, it was his urge to “inspect and play with” the novel object that may have aroused him. The saucy simian’s interest in masturbation was different from other chimps as he wouldn’t have necessarily been cut off from access to eligible females. “For the remaining 8 seconds of the recording, Araali sat with a play face, apparently with his penis still inside the bottle,” they said, noting that he did not appear to finish what he started. And when he lost his groove, researchers said he “‘reinserted his penis” and resumed his gyrating. “At times he showed a relaxed open-mouth expression or a ‘play face,’ ” they wrote, indicating he was having a good time with the bottle, believed to have held herbicide and been discarded by a local farmer. “For 25 seconds he made pelvic thrusting movements into the bottle, which he had positioned flat on the ground in front of him,” the paper reads. Bulindi Chimpanzee and CommunityĪraali - a “subadult male,” meaning not an alpha - belongs to a group of more than a dozen chimps male and female, though his behavior stood out.Īraali’s bottle is presumed to have held herbicide and been discarded from a nearby farm.
An original drawing by Bulindi chimp researcher Kim van Dijk illustrates how Araali engaged with the bottle. “So, here’s a paper I never thought we’d write: ‘Use of a novel human object as a masturbatory tool by a wild male chimpanzee at Bulindi, Uganda,’ ” they tweeted. Their research organization shared the results of their work with followers on social media. “At times he showed a relaxed open-mouth expression or a ‘play face,’ ” they wrote. This indicates the animals are being increasingly exposed to plastic pollution, familiarizing themselves with trash and integrating it into their activities. Bulindi Chimpanzee and CommunityĪraali’s romp, however, is one of the few wild chimps observed to be engaging in the act purely to seek “pleasure” or “fun,” according to Bulindi researchers Matthew McLennan and Kim van Dijk - and more advanced than the typical “fumbling” with genitalia that’s seen in most chimps.ĭiscouragingly, it’s also the first case of a wild ape using human refuse for sex. Araali was seen engaging with the plastic bottle for about half an hour as researchers observed. They’re also known to forage for paraphernalia to assist with self-pleasure, such as leaves, fruit and other organic objects. Much like humans, male apes are more apt to masturbate during times of stress, or when they’re unable to find a mate to help them relieve their libidinal longing - if you will. Published online earlier this month, the report follows chimp Araali, who was first spotted with the enticing container in August 2018, as witnesses saw him “thrusting” his penis into the bottle opening.
One can surely imagine how that might aid a male chimp without going into great detail - but if you’re wondering if that’s a banana in there, think again. In what may be a first for the species, a chimpanzee from Bulindi, Uganda, was observed masturbating with a man-made “sex toy”: a discarded plastic bottle.
