The core inspiration for the erotic, peaceful and loving life we espouse and try to live here in BonoboVille comes from the actual \u201cMake Love Not War\u201d bonobo chimpanzees. Bonobos (Latin: pan paniscus) are our \u201ckissing cousins,\u201d sharing over 98% of their DNA with us humans who are the only other species that enjoys kissing quite so much. Bonobos swing through the trees as well as with each other, the females are in charge, and (so far) they have never been observed killing each other in the wild or captivity. Seeing these sexy beasts \u201cin action\u201d opens our eyes to a sensuous, playful world without war. Yet they are, alarmingly, on the brink of extinction in their native habitat in the Congo, aka the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n
