If so, I thought my wife and I could watch some of those wildlife documentaries together. Maybe she'd learn a thing or two if she could see one of her ancestors doing it.
Monkey see, monkey do after all.

No they don't. Humans are the only primates which copulate for pleasure and not solely for procreation.

Bonobos, as many other answerers have already commented, engage in oral sex, anal sex, homosexual sex, bisexual sex, group sex, incest . . . just about anything you can think of.
Answerer number two is completely, completely off. Lots of mammals copulate just for the pleasure of it - and, besides, it's not like they're planning on making babies. Often, they're just reproducing as a side effect of having fun. Even dogs do it.
Anyway, lots of other primates also engage in oral sex, as well as anal sex, homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. I think bonobos and chimps might be the only apes that have been observed doing this stuff, but some species of macaques and guenons (both of which are types of monkeys) definitely engage in such behaviors. That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure with a little research, you'll find literally dozens and dozens of primate species that practice varieties of sex besides heterosexual vaginal penetration.
Unfortunately, even if your wife is into watching bonobos bang each other, they're not her ancestors. (Which would make it incestuous as well as kinky!)

Answerer number 7 is pretty much correct. I will clarify, though, apes are not our ancestors because we evolved along side them. We didn't evolve from apes, they evolved with us. While they changed far less than we did, there are still differences between a modern ape and the apes 6-7 mya.
Oh, and if you insist on watching bonobos mate, do it quickly. They may be extinct in a couple of years.

The Bonobo, also known as the Pygmy chimp, engages in oral sex, male on male, female on female, group sex, and many variations of male female copulation. They use it as a social tension reliever.

Monkeys are not our ancestors. Humans are more closely related to apes than to monkeys...
Monkeys have tails; Apes do not.

Why do you have to watch. Get involved. I'm sure there are tons of animals who would love you to join in.

Look up Bonobos. Their lifestyle will make you wish you had never evolved.
