Check out your copy of “More of the Straight Dope”
page 199 line 3 - Ahem -
“…Erwin and Maple (1976) discribe two male
rhesus monkeys who lived together for 19 months
and engaged in “reciprocal mounting with anal
penetration”…”
So Im with the crew that says that its more/less
natural.
This kind of thing is also discussed by Catullus. Spiny fish were also involved. :eek:
Again, not entirely germane to the question at hand, but Catullus is fun.
I’ve been readng about Priapus/Priapos, the Graeco-Roman god with the utrageously large phallus. Apparently farmers used t carve crude statues of the god, paint the penis red, and leave it out as a scarecrow to scare away birds and vegetable thieves. In order to further deter the latter they might put up a card with a warning about the god anally “having” thieves. A whole class of poetry called Priapisms" devoted to this has come down to us.
This is really weird. T put it in modern terms, imagine that your neighbor has decked out his backyard arden with garden gnomes with enormous red peckers, and with signs that read “Trespassers wil be Violated”.
I think it’s just a guy thing. Seems we’ll put it anywhere where we feel it’s safe, warm, wet, has enough resistance, and we won’t have to clean up after ourselves. If it weren’t for taboos I’d certainly have more than my share…
