I've heard that's not exactly how orangutans work. Young males try this, but because of this females tend to hang around older stronger males in harems. The older male beats up any younger ones who try anything. It's worth mentioning (although it shouldn't be necessary) humans are not orangutans. We have thousands of years of our behavior showing that we do not operate this way in large groups. We do have individuals who have always tried to get away with it, but we used to exile them. In general most humans do not like this. But we can be conditioned and bad actors are trying.
Male dolphins (in addition to THE USUAL) will bite the heads off fish and use them as a masturbatory aid.
A Fishlight, should you prefer.
Male otters also kidnap baby otters and hold them hostage so the female otters mate with them.
Oh god, no...
