Homosexuality in the animal kingdom..

I find this a very disturbing topic but must go forward with it. After watching many domestic animals perform homosexual acts on one another is it possible that prehistoric or mythical beasts performed homoerotic acts on one another..

Probably.

My girlfriend and I have two turtles. Ever since they were born, they've been together. Two guys. We have them in a 50 gallon tank, but they still get into little fights. For the past couple months though, we've noticed them trying to have sex. Two male turtles, trying to have sex.

Look at it this way though. They've probably never seen a female turtle. They probably don't even know that there is a female gender. They just see hole and get excited.

Is that homosexual? To us, yes. To them, no.

True story,

A friend of mine had two dogs, one older than the other and both males. The older dog would constantly hump the younger dog, with no complaints from the younger.

The only problem was the older dog aside from being gay was also deaf, so when you'd yell at him to stop humping the younger dog he coudn't hear anyway so would continue the humping uninterrupted.

Eventually we just gave up as the younger dog was either gay or just didn't care. They would both cuddle afterwards, it was like a four legged fuzzy OZ.

so now ATS points counts as a intellegence when speaking?

Whoa, I didnt know you could get negative points!

If any mythical beasts did have homo sex, I dont see how it would have mattered, just like in human cases.

Actuall, smartass, I was implying that his posts were trashed or he got some warnings, all of which have to to with the quality and/or appropriate content of the posts. Trashed posts and warnings= negitive points.

hahahahaahaha. whew that was good. i like the stories about homosexual pets they are good.

but seriously hahaha. turtles having sex. whew boy.

it doesnt seem like it would actually be homosexual because turtles or other animals dont have knowledge of such things. they are just acting on instincts and pleasure is an instinct. thats why it feels good to have sex. so you will do it and reproduce therefore keeping your species alive. what if it was extremely painful? we would have a let loss children in the world today and a lot more turtles i can tell you that.

Some animals have homosexual sex to assert dominance over others.

Some, like bonobos, have homosexual sex for pleasure.

Some animals also masturbate.

And none of this is disturbing.. I also think the topic was just brought up for attention whoring.
