In many animals mating can mean two things:

  1. complete mating for breeding purposes
  2. symbolic mating(w/o penetration) to show and establish dominance

The #2 type can occur male-to-male as well as female-to-female and has nothing to do with homosexuality.

How does a guinea pig mate with a male guinea pig after 3 to 4 months?

When breeding guinea pigs, it is essential to ensure the female guinea pig (sow) is at a healthy weight and age before breeding. Introduce the male guinea pig (boar) to the sow in a neutral territory, and they will likely mate on their own.
