Anileve Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well humans are apparently not the only creatures of nature that are having complexities in their relationships and mating. Some animals can be poster children of the wild and bizarre world we are living in. In fact some of them I find very original in a very traditional way. I shall tell you about the mating frenzy of 3 species and let you decide if your relationship is really all that bizarre. Let us glance into the fascinating world of the Animal Kingdom. ================== New Prevention Program guaranteed to keep males on their best behavior and gives the idea “it’s better to be friends first” a whole new outlook. Female Wolf spiders, for instance prefer to see familiar faces when they mate. An experiment was conducting by allowing male and female spiders interact while the females were maturing. As adults, the female chose to mate with males they’d previously met twice as often as with males they have never seen. And they really discouraged the strangers: Females attacked and ate unfamiliar males twice as often as familiar ones. Well I guess after retrieving the most important substance the subject becomes useless, thus to prevent any further pollution and future headaches the female population decides to eliminate the problem making it useful twice rather than once, the second time is intended for hunger satisfaction. That way the newborn will never have to learn how to proudly burp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Our next case is what I would call “Being practical by preserving assets for the future” Male cockerels preferentially select mates they are not familiar with, a strategy for maximizing the number of young they father. “Until recently, males are assumed to mate with as many females as possible, but the sperm reserves are limited. Successive copulations, males inseminate progressively fewer sperm in female. This allows them to save some for females they will encounter in the future. Now talk about realizing that the well is not bottomless and choosing quantity of seed carriers rather than seeds themselves. http://www.animals-in-distress.fsnet.co.uk/files/photos/cockerels.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Finally we come to the last evidence that some animals would do anything for love. And when I say anything I mean even changing one’s own gender. ============ Biologists have shown that female nematodes of the species Caenorhabditis elegans will actually change their gender to improve their sex life. As they develop, these semihermaphroditic worms sense the number of bacteria in the surrounding soil. If bacteria are abundant – a sign that many other worms are present – one of the female worm’s X chromosomes deactivates, and it becomes a male. If the local population is dense it is more beneficial to be male because you can mate with lots of different hermaphrodites. In the absence of bacteria, the worms keep both X chromosomes, becoming hermaphrodites that can at least reproduce with themselves. ============== And then we criticize women that get breast implants for the sake of improving their mating. I guess this is a case of adopting to your environment, why can’t we have those abilities, then perhaps there would never be a discrimination of genders in the first place. http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/bcconf/talks/images/nematode.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can also assume that it's a lot more efficient when it's obtained through "shock and awe". Look at Howard Stern and O'Reily, surely you don't think they became so popular by talking about "normal" issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where have you been hiding lately, the feminist thread is lacking some gamavor input! Gevo27 are you 27 years old? If the answer is yes than I must say that it's quite decieving.

Stormig Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Llama-shagger... Anyway, I remember a joke about courtship between penguins. Their foreplay lasts a month before they mate. Not sure if this is really true, but they're pretty bizarre creatures, if you've seen them crawling over that biologist in their centuries-old pathway in Discovery Channel or some such. Male penguin: "Hey honey, wanna have sex month???? We better start going with the foreplay!" Female penguin: "No, I fear I might have a headache."
