@miss-lillipants Emotional or psychological intimacy definitely takes priority for me too. It’s fascinating how something non-sexual can still give you such a rush.
It depends on the species. Hippos will kill you just to watch you die.
Ironically, predators have to measure out how they fight more, since if they get injured they can’t catch their food. Not having to hunt down their meals means that stronger herbivores have a lot more freedom to be violent on demand.
