Your comments about this article:
I think it shows that other animals don't necessarily share the moral assumptions and prejudices that some humans do.
wa
But this is actually useful, it demonstrates the evolutionary advantage of same sex relations.
I learned alot from this article:
1. Fish can have sex. Just like us too!
2. Fish can be gay. Please refer to kanye west, the gay fish.
3. fish has males and females.
4. female fish desire the not-desiring-her male fish.
5. if you are a fish and want to have sex with a female fish, pretend that you are a gay fish and not interested in her. Her fishy sexuality will jump up the roof, and she would do anything!
Now i get why some girls can still be interested in kanye west.
Hopefully we will see another million spent on researching whether fish do blow jobs or not.
mobaisch LOL, the next 200 to 300k spent on improving our knowledge could possibly give us the answer. I am sitting on the edge of my chair waiting.
The article is marketing gay sex , no more no less. The author did it in a perfect eye-catching way : scientifically. A smart propaganda indeed.
And little goes long way, the society is now prompting the public to gay culture. To do this, all means are good : fancy articles , ads and now ''a scientific finding ¦#39;¦#39;. The promoters are agile, they know where to catch up masses' mind : people spend their playtime in outdoor activities or in front of TV screens watching movies, music… or just fribbling at computer desks : then internet becomes a perfect rat trap that makes all of us so well our children perfect targets and victims.
Once again, we would bet this article is about promoting gay fashion rather than sustaining a scientific finding. Yet the link between fishes¦#39; behavior and gay sex is unclear. What¦#39;s new in the article? One can hardly spot any discovery that can pioneer a new path in science : ¦#39;¦#39; …Sick or underfed males show little sexual behavior¦#39;¦#39;, so does everybody, including human beings ! About bisexuality behavior in shortfin mollies, this is common to animal species -they mate with each other regardless sex gender of their partners . That ¦#39;s what distinguishes us from animals . Human beings are attract to the opposite sex (man-woman). That ¦#39;s why mankind lives on in generations.
Based on the foregoing , the art of marketing homosexuality still has a long way to go.
How does this distinguish us from animals? Last time I checked the large majority of humans and animals both were heterosexual, but some of each species were homosexual, and so what?
The article implies that if you flirt with men in front of women that makes you more attractive to women.
Why don't you try this method for six months yourself and then report back to the Local with your findings?
so you are an American woman and find sex between two men disgusting? Well, thank goodness you will never be able or forced to participate.
so you say the anus is not designed to receive but rather to excrete?
and take that logic one more step, what about the vagina? does it not have multiple purposes?
excretion, copulation, giving birth...just sayin...
