Burton wasn’t able to definitively conclude that female monkeys could orgasm, but she did identify an excitement, plateau and resolution phase, as Masters and Johnson had identified in humans. Then the researcher put a “penis-simulator” into “the animal's vagina with vaseline as lubricant,” and moved it at a pace of two to five thrusts a second. Burton placed the primates in dog harnesses and cat collars to restrict their movement. The first: In 1970, anthropologist Francis Burton published "Sexual Climax in female Macaca mulatta." She wanted to answer the question of whether female monkeys experienced orgasm. But such fondling isn't unheard of in the realm of animal research.
Judging from the collective horrified response, you would think that a human giving a handy to an animal was an aberrant, unthinkable act. "Woman reveals sex with dolphin." "The woman who lived in sin with a dolphin." "The dolphin who loved me." "This Woman Jerked Off A Dolphin - And Liked It!" "Scientist Says Relationship With Dolphin Was 'Sensuous.'" "Woman waxes poetic about giving precious, sensual hand-jobs to a dolphin." "'I had a sexual relationship with a dolphin'" (despite the quotes, she never actually said that). During the segment, a narrator intones, "Margaret felt the best way of focusing his mind back on the lessons was to relieve his desires herself, manually." She makes sure to clarify: "It was sexual on his part, it was not sexual on mine - sensual perhaps." "It would just become part of what was going on, like an itch, just get rid of that scratch and we would be done and move on,” she said. It was just easier to incorporate that and let it happen." Eventually, it became routine. "I wasn't uncomfortable, as long as it wasn't too rough. “He would rub himself on my knee, my foot or my hand and I allowed that,” she said. This week, the media went nuts over revelations in a BBC documentary about Lovatt's interactions with a male dolphin during a NASA-funded experiment in the 1960s.
It is safe to say that Margaret Howe Lovatt will from here on out be known as the woman who had “sex” with a dolphin.
