If you actually watch a lot of the animal kingdom you will see that a lot of 'deviant sexual behaviour' goes on. In some cases (say crayfish, which are very horny little creatures) it may be that they are continually 'on the make', for they do rather interesting things with rocks, and coke bottles as well. There is a particular beetle where the male of the species emerges several weeks before the female does and spends its days 'making it' with the orchids (which look rather like female beetles due to natural selection). Young bulls (the sort that in the wild would get the sand beaten out of them by the bigger males who would also get the herd) have homosexual relations with each other. This is common among other herd animals as well. Even today, farmers that do not use artificial insemination have been known to own large, prize winning bulls that have no interest in the heifers that the farmer wants to breed with that bull. My great-grandfather (who was dead before I was born) was reputed to have such a bull, and he kept young male bulls around to stimulate that bull before presenting him with the heifers.
