Fellatio common among fruit bats, says research – Telegraph

The study found that more than two-thirds of female short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx) performed fellatio on their sexual partners, and that they were rewarded with longer bouts of intercourse as a result.

Previously, the only animals known to carry out oral sex – apart from humans – were bonobo chimpanzees.

Go home perverts. This is science. Interesting stuff for sure, beyond the obvious bat blow job snickering. Its easy to see how this trait would have evolved, with the fellating females having a clear reproductive advantage. It would not surprise me if this is now found in other species, if people think to look for it. Might it have some implications on the practice in humans? Possibly, but its worth noting that the fruit bats are combining fellatio with intercourse at the same time. Even if this were physically possible, the second, more important observation, is that it prolongs intercourse. Personally, I don’t quite see this happening for humans.
