Some news items are just too good to pass up. The article begins: "A germ that kills males triggers a vicious cycle of increasing female promiscuity and male sexual exhaustion in a species of butterfly, scientists report." The theory is that the fewer male butterflies were getting fucked silly by all the females, reducing the size of the male's sperm package, which in turn makes the females more determined. The distinguished scholar went to school for years, just so he could get this quote pasted all over the Internet:
"Greater numbers of female partners leads to fatigue in males. They start producing smaller sperm packages," Charlat said. "Unfortunately, the female butterflies instinctively know that the packages are smaller and that their chances of having been sufficiently impregnated after mating are lower than usual. This just makes them more rampant."
Science has confirmed what all men fear: Women can and will, if necessary, fuck their sperm packages dry. Those butterfly vixens sound like Body of Evidence does the Discovery Channel.

Do all men REALLY fear that?
This is one secret of female sexuality that men indeed do fear, although it may not be articulated or even conscious. Women seem to men to always be sexually ready -- something we are not.
The male psyche is tender about its genital vulnerability. The voracious, insatiable female is another version of the limp cock fear.
I don't know, T. That must be a hetero male thing then, because most gay guys I know would be perfectly willing to get themselves fucked empty, and would be willing to go some beyond that if offered the opportunity. Hey, I'm not exactly speaking from experience, but I've known plenty of guys who would do that on a regular basis. Nothing seems to be as always sexually ready as a bunch of gay men. The horniest group of people you'll ever meet, or so a former girlfriend (!) told me.
There is an aspect of male hetrosexuality that is constantly horny and ready for action, but the female poses a dilemna because no matter how ready you are to go, she could demand performance and you might not be up to it.
Does the fact that the male homosexual can act as both the giver and the receiver eliminate that fear altogether?
I'm really grateful for yours and Sideon's comments, because it forces me constantly to step back and re-evaluate my own sexuality and my own experience. I also enjoy the women's comments, because they provide an altogether different perspective as well.
For now though it appears I am the sole banner carrier for the hetrosexual male, but I'll try and hold my end and not let it go limp.
How sad! The sad lonely straight guy lost in a sea of femme and fag!
*hugs*
;-)
Wanker...
you ARE the equivalent of a blog viagra - there's nothing limp about it ;)
Not to sound like an elitist fucker, but you've kept my interest and you've made me rethink some previous "World According to Donavan" moments, which is no small feat. (yeah, I do sound like an elitist fucker)
I'll second that, T. We wouldn't keep coming back here if this wasn't a great blog. You get a lot more traffic than I do. (That wasn't sexual innuendo, was it?)
Steve and Sideon,
I'm am very grateful to both of you for your readership and comments -- hell, even your hugs.
I think the biggest problem is that I want to be a blog slut and penetrate every reader I can find.
I think it is all those years of repression.
Be careful with that penetration thing, T., or your blog may have to be renamed Gay Mormon Erotica.
*snickers*
I think it's hilarious that your regular commenters are women and gay guys. I think it's because a lot of straight guys are either afraid to admit to liking erotica and or have trained themselves not to like it.
With erotica as with sex, gay people benefit from the fact that they can be on both the giving and receiving end. So it's harder for people to accuse them of harming themselves and/or the opposite gender by producing/consuming such materials.
For straight people, it's mostly women who are in erotica and mostly men who purchase it, and (as I've said before) I don't think this difference can be pinned entirely on conditioning.
So women get called sluts and men get called pigs. But the exmo ladies can wear the label "slut" as a badge of honor if want to, whereas "pig" doesn't work the same way. One is left trying to convince people that the common wisdom equating porn and piggishness is false. That's hard enough for female feminists to do, so if you're a guy, good luck...
Oh, CL! I have a story about being a pig that would curl your hair. T would so love me to post it here, but I'm thinking of taking it to my own page. All I lack is guts. How funny!
I look forward to reading it on your blog!!! :D
