Some humans are the same, certain males hump anything they come across and certain females spread their legs to anything they come across

I have a better story which is 100% true. In the early 80s, I was single one summer and hung around with a girl and her friend who was an outragiously gay guy, but with a wicked sense of humour. He was part of an amateur theatre group.

One weekend he was planning a weekend camping trip and asked me to come along since I had all the camping equipment and had been camping since I was a little kid. We would be going with two of his friends from the theatre group, a man and a woman. I had met his friend before and knew he was also gay. I had never met the woman.

So friday we drive to her house to pick her up (Her name was Marie) and meet her husband! He helps us pack and wishes us a good weekend. I figured that since the other two guys were gay, he must have figured I was gay as well.

Along the way out of town, I find out that Marie had just found out that week, that her husband was having an affair and she wanted to take off for the weekend.

So we set up the tent, just one big one for all of us, and spend the evening drinking and talking around the campfire and eventually retire to the tent, me and Marie last.

In the tent, Marie and I were lying next to one another and next thing I knew we were tearing each other's clothes off. I dont know if the guys heard, but they never mentioned it. I saw Marie on and off for the rest of the summer. Last I heard, she had patched things up with her husband.

Since that summer, my philosophy has always been: thank god for Gay guys! :arrgh!:

Dog humping another dog is a sign of dominance in addition to occasionally procreating. What we rarely observe in those situations (for obvious reasons) is that while they do that, they also get to put their front paws on the top of the other. And for them that means superiority. Try it with a submissive dog: put your hands on the top of its back, push lightly and it's very likely to show some sign of submission (such as lowering its neck or going to the ground).

Some dogs try to show such dominance over other species too. I know a family where the dog considers two people to be above it, but one below it. And sure enough, it always tries to hump the person below it in the hierarchy.

As for procreating, they know what they are doing and when to do it by scent. Ever had a young male dog? Then you probably know. A single female that emits the "hump me" scent can make literally all the males around it mad. That's why in the kennel I occasionally work for we separate them from the rest of the dogs as soon as we notice the signs of that time in their cages, such as blood drops on the floor.

:nope:

Than how do you explain female dogs humping male dogs? Or male dogs humping male dogs? Or sexually immature puppies humping?

Humping is not a sexual action for dogs, although it resembles the mating action. Humping can be an action of domination. My female Lab humps my male lab because the female is the dominant dog in the house. It can also be a way a dog deals with built up excitement (non-sexual). Puppies in the same litter will often trade-off humping during play.

In some cases, the dog is humping because the owners have trained it to hump. The owners, when seeing their cute little puppy hump, laugh and show attention to the puppy. This attention from the owners, can positively reinforce, to the puppy, that humping is a trick that the owners like. Humping can be simply a habit to some dogs. They do it because they have done it in the past.

There are many reasons dogs hump.

Dog-owner are you? Relax, I was just kidding. I know they do the humping thing to show dominance. Actually I've been around dogs all my life, and I love them. My post was in no way meant to be taken serious :03:

Actually, this brings up a 'nice' memory. My parents have always owned Golden Retrievers, and one time while we were on vacation (I was about 9 or 10 at the time) I was lying in the grass reading something when all of a sudden I feel something jumping on my back and humping me. That was our dog, and unfortunately my dad was just taking pictures of the area...

Sounds like prison. :O:

Incredible timing, Platapus :haha:.

Edit: Steve, you'd be surprised how close you hit the nail's head there. As I said, I occasionally work in a kennel and often we just have to put two dogs in the same cage. It doesn't take long for them to decide which one humps which. But that's still pretty tame, since it's normal for them.

On the other hand I have seen cases that are no different from our form of bullying. One of the dogs has simply established its place in the hierarchy in such a way that the other one has refused to go back to their cage after they have been left out for a while. And in some cases the dominant dog hasn't even let it back in.

Dogs are fascinating.

Yeah, but you were one minute faster!

Ya Bastage! (shaking an avenging fist) Next time, wait until next time! I'll beat you to the post. You and your little dog too!

:D

Scientists Ruin "Gay Caveman"’s Coming Out Party

I have no problem with the dude being gay, even as a caveman.

We all know homo behavior has been with us as long as men could scribble with a stick, but it's rather far reaching propaganda to assume this fellow was gay. He could've been a sissy or a coward, any behavior unmanly.

This whole issue is why I'll be cremated when I exit!
I don't want a bunch of you bastums a thousand years from now,
saying I'm Gay, all over the 'Net,
because I was buried with a Leather Vest and Stainless Steel Underwear!
:haha:

Fixed. :O:

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:
