  • It’s such an interesting topic…

    I wish I knew what was so hilarious about everything they had to say, between all the giggling, but it’s over my head, I suppose. When they get around to it, the topic is fascinating.

They want to challenge the status quo and bring light to the fact that there are many animals that exhib... more

  • No need to

    No need to listen to this. It’s beneath a reasonable human to characterize the sex lives of gay animals as “cheeky” and “raunchy”. What a waste of your time.
