Female fruitbat fellatio frenzy: 70% give head

The scientific world is electrified today by one of the most significant discoveries of our times: the great majority of female short-nosed fruit bats love to give head. Possibly even more significantly, the nimble lust-crazed chiropterines are able to perform fellatio on a male bat who is taking them from behind at the time. …

Where's the IT angle?

C'mon then commentards... answer that?

[Ryan Barrett]

Guinea pigs do cunnilingus..

Male ones to female at least.

..and dogs are always licking each other's todgers.

Extreme porn?

Isn't sexual material that includes any animals covered by the new extreme porn legislation and therefore this is an obscene publication...

[Mark McNeill]

I can imagine...

...next year's IgNobel ceremony being illegal in some jurisdictions.

Paris, because - no, it's gone.

[Michael Habel]

I shall have to bing this!

The nimble lust-crazed chiropterines are able to perform fellatio on a male bat who is taking them from behind at the time.

Now that's a bit of mental contortionisum that I can not get my head 'round

Icon? Look out for falling BS

Title? 'cause bing is the place to search for such queries of a ~more~ pornographic nature.

Re:Where's the IT angle?

Well there is a link to a a video at the end of the article. So that's video codec's, html links and the article is on a website.... more than enough IT.

Simples.

Re: Where's the IT angle?

Isn't it obvious? Most IT people are sex obsessed blokes with too much time on their hands or, as in my case, prevaricating again...

[Connor]

Admittedly I'm no expert....

But is that really his penis she's licking, or is she just getting herself off quicker?

[Cucumber C Face]

Swallows?

...and mind those teeth!

IT angle maybe not? Paris angle yes, yes, yeeeessssss...

[Andrew Moore]

Interesting...

An article about fruitbat fellatio and yet nothing about Stephen Fry leaving Twitter (I'm sure there's a connection between the two somehow)

[thomas k.]

drat!

My 1st thought while reading the article was to comment "pics or it didn't happen" but then I got to the end and saw a vid *is* available.

Can I request a Playmobil recreation instead?

[Anonymous John]

Is it

Friday already?

[Thecowking]

I'm no zoologist

But I'm pretty sure Bonobo are great apes and not monkeys.

I'm also worried that in an article about fellatio, the misclassification of an animal was what stuck in my head.

Re: Where's the IT angle?

As has been pointed out more times than I can count on all my fingers and toes - in binary - "Odds & Sods" contains odds and sods. There is not necessarily an IT angle. If this bothers you, I suggest you refrain from reading articles in the "Odds & Sods" section.

[Sordid Details]

Don't believe it for a moment

"...the longer a female licked, the longer copulation lasted ..."

Can someone explain that to me? My own personal experience leads me to conclude the exact opposite...

Paris, because...do you need to ask?

Re: Where's the IT angle?

For an optimum connection the angle of insertion is critical.Trust me, I'm qualified to ECDL, stage one.

Not qualified to comment on the aerodynamic skills required to accomplish the optimum flying fuck, even in a Batmobile. And as for the gymnastic flexibility needed to fuck and suck simultaneously in mid-flight I think I'll stick with my usual "finger lickin good" fried chicken.

@AC

Not to be pedantic, well ok to be totally pedantic; this article is not in Odds & Sods ;)

"After the male mounted the female from behind, she bent over and began licking his penis"

...

"In all, fellating females mated for an average of 4 minutes"

I don't think I'd last 4 minutes if my gf did that to me.

(Not that we haven't tried)

[Anonymous Coward]

Toe curling moments are hazardous though

Fruitbats are nature's party animals though, and this simply confirms my belief that any religion encouraging re-incarnation should also allow choice. Given fruitbats get drunk off fermenting fruit juice and seem to have great sex, I know what I want to come back as.

[eezatehgeeza]

You showing your hand there?

"...until now, the only species known to indulge in oral sex were bonobo monkeys and some humans:..."

That sounds like a dig at your other half to me ;-)

Paris for obvious reasons!

[Anonymous Coward]

Yes, but do they swallow?

Paris, for reasons so obvious that I cannot go into them.....

Looks like Carter might not have been boasting.

Not all animals have single explosive ejaculations. Even the common dog, once mounted on a female and locked in place, steadily dribbles semen for a protracted period. The longer copulation takes, the more semen is secreted, and the greater the chance of impregnating the female.

Worst porn evah

badly lit, no over-the-top gasps and squeaks, poor choice of music and no money shot.

I can't jerk to that.

[Doug Jenkins]

ah...sordid details and IE IT angle

IE and increased memory leaks the more you run it..any connection here?

[Anonymous Coward]

and this is why science is awesome

You can spend weeks filming and watching extreme animal porn, and then get it published in the most prestigious scientific journal.

[Anonymous Coward]

Now I know why ...

I have always fancied Goth chicks ...
