Animal Style

Animal Style

Judson spent four years writing her book in an effort to show humans that they can learn a lot about sex from other creatures. We are engaged in only a small part of the sexual behaviour on the planet. In fact, ours is rather pedestrian when you look at other species. If it wasn't for the fact that it's ours, I doubt that we'd give it much attention. Who can argue with her after reading her descriptions of homosexual manatees, lions who copulate 75 times a day and penis-fencing among flatworms? - Daily Telegraph (UK)
This sounds like a pretty great book. Maybe it really will introduce animal variations into human sexuality. Instead of giving courses in pornography and S&M, colleges could introduce penis-fencing - possibly as a spectator sport. (Naturally this would be 'safe' penis-fencing, ie participants would wear condoms. If the action gets violent, you don't want penis blood spurting on the spectators.) Presumably there would also have to be separate leagues for men and women, since you wouldn't want women smashing their strap-ons into the more fragile members of the male teams' One thing that's unclear, though, is this: In penis-fencing, how do you know who wins? Is there a point system? A duel to castration or death?
