[18:13] Scottie: Question: Other than with mexican whores on street corners in TJ...
[18:13] Scottie: do donkeys have sex?
[18:14] Jake: yeah, mules don't, because they're sterile, but they try
[18:14] Scottie: so.. if thats the case
[18:15] Scottie: then humans are NOT the only species to have sex solely for gratification
[18:16] Jake: I don't think we are, either. I'm sure that some animals enjoy it simply for sex. I mean, dogs hump everything that's not nailed down, and even stuff that is nailed down.
[18:17] Jake: And you can't really say that they don't know any better because short of hooking them up to a machine and reading their brain patterns, you wouldn't know
[18:16] Scottie: I remember a teacher saying once that humans were the only species that had sex simply for gratification.
[18:17] Jake: yeah, I've heard that before too
[18:19] Jake: Never agreed with it, but people still blurt that out and it's like, "How do you know? Does it mean something to you because they don't want to cuddle afterwards? Probably not, but it doesn't mean that animals don't enjoy it on some level, whether it's purely physical or even on some base emotional level."
[18:21] Jake: and of course people are like "you're getting worked up over animal sex", but it's more of an issue of thinking that somewhere there's a bear out there in the world thinking "God, I need to get laid."
[18:21] Scottie: I think its obvious animals enjoy it.. using your earlier example dogs try to fuck anything thats not nailed down, I doubt they are thinking to themselves "The endtable this chair I'm fucking and I are gonna have once I get it pregnant is going to have such a fine coat of fur"
[18:21] Jake: Yeah, and "I can't wait until I'm done with this so that I can go on doing other dog-like things."
[18:22] Jake: or even "*sigh*"
[18:22] Scottie: I mean they do look kind of bored during, but maybe thats just their 'o-face'
[18:22] Jake: hehe
[18:23] Jake: "OH GOD! OH GOD! MY FACE IS INCAPABLE OF MAKING INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSIONS, BUT IF IT COULD, I'D BE LIKE 'AWWWW YEEEEEEAH'!!!"
[18:23] Scottie: I'm personally kind of happy they cant
[18:24] Scottie: I cant imagine looking down at a dog humping my leg and seeing a look anything similar to fred dursts o-face
[18:25] Jake: I think that people say things like that in order to further distance ourselves from the animal kingdom, when we're basically just animals too.
[18:26] Scottie: or that its against god to fuck and not make babies? or is that ingrown catholic guilt?
[18:25] Jake: seems like the latter
...
[18:28] Scottie: people reading this are going to think we are weird.
[18:25] Jake: It's just a scientific discussion at the core of it all. If we started recommending blowing your neighbor's cat to see if he smiles or not, then we'd be weird.
