Anyway - thanks for being patient, I had some interesting questions on bonobo handshake so I thought i'd answer them:

Hello there.
Is it true than the bonobo is the only creature other than man to have face to face intercourse?

As far as I know ASS, they are. That's because, like humans, bonobo female vaginas are ventrally orientated (facing towards the stomach). Most other female animals have vaginas oriented towards the rear which facilitates, umm, doggy style. so it's easiest for both bonobos and humans to have sex face to face.
having said that, hubby aka famous Dr Brian Hare, says he has seen brown capuchin monkeys doing it face on. which means other animals probably do it to but not as frequently (or as comfortably) as bonobos and us.
Here is some face to face action.
