Question

Are humans the only animals that mate when they are not in heat?

Answer 1

No. I assume by heat  you mean s*x for motives other than reproduction Several animals, dolphins and chimpanzees, do it also.Lots of animals m********e.  But the sexual behavior of humans is best imitated by bonobos, a chimpanzee slightly smaller than the more common chimpanzee.

The females offer s*x to put males in debt and to bond the group.  They have s*x for fun and distraction, as a relief to boredom and to gain influence.  s*x is also used for trade, to get access to food.  Homosexual s*x is not rare but more often than not is just foreplay.  Still, it does sometimes go on to completion.

Sound familiar?

Answer 2

No. Bonobos, one of our closest relatives, regularly mate with all members of their social group, regardless of the gender or age of their partner. This is a form of social bonding. Chimpanzees and dolphins have also been recorded mating when not in heat, just because they enjoy it.
