My buddy Mike finds the most interesting things. For example, this article about a study of the blowjob habits of the fruit bat.
It raises numerous sexological questions. Do they like it here or there? Do they like it anywhere? Do they like to make a sound? Do they like it upside down?
Read on, me batty ones.
Why do you think blow jobs happen?
This is not a trick question.
Most of us would probably go for the, "Hey, that feels nice," theory of oral sex. But researchers Min Tan, Gareth Jones, Guangjian Zhu, et. al., think there may be more to it than simple pleasure. As part of their attempt to prove a practical function for oral sex, the team conducted a study of the fellatio habits of fruit bats. The paper was published October 28 in the journal PLoS ONE.
From the article: "We found that female short-nosed fruit bats C. sphinx lick their mate's penis regularly during copulation, and that each second of licking results in approximately 6 extra seconds of copulation. Copulations also last longer if licking occurs than when no licking takes place."
Another good reason to offer your partner on those inexplicable -- and hopefully rare -- occasions when they object to giving a BJ.
