Sex isn’t just the same without that danger aspect. After I got snipped, it just lost all its potency, hornet nest sex is the only way I can satisfy that urge, and you’re trying to take that away from me!? ---

His fingerprints were also found on the nest, leading the police to believe he had been trying to have sex with the hornet’s nest when he was stung to death. So, they did, like, a rape kit on the nest? I wonder if they found any of his skin under the bee’s fingernails? Are the wasps the victim or the dead man? ---

You forgot the whole “…this treatment is [Guaranteed to increase penis size!](http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/wildlife/bees.htm)” 😛 > [@](#): > > “The body responds to stings by liberating fluid from the blood to flush venom components from the area. This causes redness and swelling at the sting site. If this is not the first time that the person has been stung by that species of insect, it is likely that the immune system will recognize the venom and enhance the disposal procedure. This can lead to very large swelling around the sting site or in a whole portion of the body.” ---
