1) Humans and dolphins are the only two species that have sex for pleasure

2) The female orgasm has painkilling properties...so the song Sexual Healing could've been literal.

3) If my mom saw this post I would be grounded.

I could blow in my first wife's ear and put out a candle on the other side of her head.

Married men don't live longer than single men. It just seems longer.

Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

Everybody have fun tonight

Everybody wang chung tonight

I believe Binnobo chimps have sex for pleasure as well. I dont know how they can tell if animals enjoy it or not. I suspect they do myself. Its like fishermen saying that fish dont feel pain. How would they know ?
