    Yes humans have our own complex sometimes simple mating rituals. They are basically the same world wide but change slightly from culture to culture. Going out on dates, flirting, for play these can all be called rituals

    The tiger (Panthera tigris) and the lion (Panthera leo) are two of the biggest participants of the genus Panthera, which additionally involves the jaguar and the leopard, both notably smaller than the animals previously acknowledged. They share circa ninety seven% of their genetic codes, which is adequate for them to mate and give start to sterile offspring. Being so closely related, the tiger's and the lion's rituals must be an identical, however differences do exist. Each cats mate loudly for a few days, they usually copulate as much as 100 occasions a day. The penises of giant cats, honestly all cats, have some pointy hints that reason suffering to the ladies upon its ejection. Pregnancies in both tigresses and lionesses final fairly greater than a interval of time of three months, after which the feminine gives delivery to a litter which include 1 to six blind, helpless cubs, but probably 2 or three are most customary. The cubs will mature around the age of two, or might be three. Basically, the two cats are very an identical in lots of things, including replica. A hybrid occurring within the wild is beyond normal at present. Tiger and lion territories no longer overlap, and with immoderate human interference, these two animal populations are becoming much farther aside. However, in captivity, there had been quite a couple of cases of lions and tigers mating. That is most commonly man-made; a human puts an aroused male within the equal cage with a feminine in warmness, which then mate to create both ligers or tigons. Such movements are really exceptional, but they definitely do arise - and are purpusly executed to entertain the curious public who's willing to pay extra and talk over with more commonly to see an animal the dimensions of a liger - a male liger can simply exceed 1,000 kilos and grows throught its existence!

    Flirting ,looking ,body language,pursuing lips are rituals we just do not notice.Foreplay meddling with boobs are sex rituals.If u observe tribes in forests they have long rituals before sex.In tribes of Besthar (India) long dance around female with intoxicating drink is a ritual around fire.As the drums start ,women and men become fully nude and sex is done according to the drum beatings.

    There are many secret societies doing sex as part of religion.The full moon festivals in African tribals is another example of rituals before sex.

    Any how modern man has lost the best part of sex these tribes are enjoying.

    We call it "flirting" but there are quite a few culturally universal behaviors that humans engage in when flirting. Smiling is an instinctual human behavior and plays its part in flirting, mirroring behavior to indicate interest (man touches his hair, woman also touches her hair, etc.), displays intended to impress, e.g.drawing attention to the mouth (both genders), feats of bravado/stupidity (men), giggling/shyness (women), etc.

    There are also culturally entrenched mating rituals within each culture.

    No, we're smarter and don't use "mating rituals". We have language, and we talk it out.
