Well, the thing of Bonobos- it's interesting that we share ancestors with them & that they're one of the very few other species that mate out of season/for recreation - but I think it's too easy to assume that those two things are neccissarrily related. I'm not saying that primatology doesn't inform anthropology - those are obvious and parallel matters - but bonobo promiscuity is very different from the human sort. Oh - and one of the main differences between us & our cousins is what explains the original question - because we're bi-pedal it's harder to get in there - necessitating matters - I think you've basically concluded the same thing somewhere. But yeah- comparisons between bonobo & human sexuality - It's my opinion that the value of those comparisons is over-estimated.
