Animal Threesomes, Females Who Eat Their Mates

June 28, 2008 — -- Did you ever wonder what a bonobo's orgasm sounds like? Or how barnacles reproduce? Did you know that over 300 living species display homosexual behavior?

The Museum of Sex's exhibition "The Sex Lives of Animals" is now open to the public, depicting the scientific facts, anatomies, pleasures and sex games of a slew of animal species.

Presented with a caption about Charles Darwin's research at the exhibition entrance, the museum offers visitors an evolutionary sexual education, from basic facts to detailed descriptions of the mating habits of animals as diverse as banana slugs and panda bears.

The Museum of Sex curator Sarah Jacobs worked with Stanford University biologist and author Dr. Joan Roughgarden and with sculptor Rune Olsen to bring together the original show.

Olsen, who has worked with sexuality and violence in his sculpture for years, described his thoughts while crafting the featured art pieces.

"It's important to me that my sculptures are individual," Olsen told ABCNews.com. "My favorite reaction to them is when people see the two gay dolphins having sex, which is so out of this world. They say to me, 'you know the penis is in the wrong hole, right?' I think it's hilarious."
