Doubly strange, in context - since....if we're really saying that people shouldn't be animals..then kinky sex being a thing only humans do is a mark in it's favor.
Bonobo chimpanzees love their sex. I mean it depends on what you mean by "kinky". There are no vibrating dildos or anal beads, but bonobos enjoy frequent sex, multiple partners of both genders, and different positions.
This "we're not animals" thing is something that some versions of Christianity obsess about.
Why is it so?
