I read somewhere that a pig’s, ah, privvy member, is helical, that is, shaped like a screw. I have three questions: 1- is this true? 2- Is this where we get the sex slang “screw”? 3- Is it left-hand or right-hand thread? ---

You haven’t lived until you have hand-mated a boar. Cecil may not know, but anyone who has ever artificially inseminated a pig knows that you screw 'em clockwise. ---

“but anyone who has ever artificially inseminated a pig knows that you screw 'em clockwise.” Excuse me. But you mean human screw pigs to inseminate them? ---

Ahhh, the joys of life on the farm. The freash air, the hard work, the giving hand jobs to livestock. Why did we ever leave this way of life behind? 🙂 It has been a couple of years since I’ve been on a working farm, but if memory serves, their is a device that can take care of the collection of semen without the, uh, hands on part. I think its called an electric ejaculator (sp), and it is put up the critter’s rectum to give his prostate a mild shock to make him, well, ejaculate. To be honest, neither one of these sound great. I feel for the guys who collect semen from bulls and stallions. Pigs can get big, but these guys could stomp you to death!!! Anyway, I have really digressed, enolancooper, if you look into the facinating field of zoology you will find that when it comes to sex, humans have NOTHING to complain about. S&M is rampant, to the point that literally _eating_ your partner is common, and get this, the guys submit to it. Also, penises and other copulator organs come in a wide varity of shapes and sizes. My favorite factiod is that snakes have two penis like organs called hemipenises. OHHHH,la,la. 🙂 And of course there is the long suffering samon. The majority of them have “sex” only once in their lives and that’s after a long time out to sea and a killer migration. Even then you don’t even come into physical contact with your mate. HO boy, look out Sex in the City. ---

Sometimes there are more than 2 sexes. As a matter of fact, one living organism has more than 12 sexes. I have some of that on my car. ---

Wouldn’t it be easier to let nature take its course? ---
