Not for the faint of heart, weak of stomach, or low of humor. Let's face it. Sex can be messy. But it doesn't have to be. Whether you're a human or a dog, the more we know about sex, the better we are at approaching the subject with intelligence, poise, and maybe even a sense of humor. With this in mind, here are some outrageous, sensational, mind-boggling dog sex "facts" that you and your pup just gotta know: 1.
Like humans, dogs are often "growers not showers. So you shouldn't judge the dog dicks you see. That's just their resting peen. Female dogs need not be offended if their mate falls asleep post-coitus. Orgasms activate the "rest and digest" function in the dog's parasympathetic nervous system, causing them to get sleepy. The average length of a dog penis is I have no idea, we probably don't need to know this.
Dogs with a TV or laptop in the bedroom reported having less sex than their canine counterparts who go electronics-free. When discussing dog sexual and reproductive habits, male dogs are referred to as "studs," while female dogs are referred to as "bitches.
One thing we have been curious about, though, is whether we are the only species that experiences sexual pleasure. The question of whether non-human animals enjoy it too is a perennial — and scientifically legitimate — question to ask.
In the last 10 to 15 years, scientific evidence has begun to accumulate that animals do experience a general sensation of pleasure — as anybody who has stroked a cat will know. In , for example, psychologists Jeffrey Burgdorf and Jaak Panskepp discovered that laboratory rats enjoyed being tickled , emitting a sort of chirpy laugh outside the range of human hearing. And not only that, they would actively seek out the feeling.
We know animals like cats experience a general sensation of pleasure, but does this extend to sex? But does that include carnal pleasure too? One way to find out is to study instances of sex that can't possibly result in procreation — for instance, among two or more males, or females; where one or more individual is sexually immature, or sex that occurs outside of the breeding season. Bonobos , for example, the so-called "hippie apes," are known for same-sex interactions, and for interactions between mature individuals and sub-adults or juveniles.
But you don't need to be a bonobo to enjoy "non-conceptive" sex, white-faced capuchin monkeys do it too. In both species, primatologists Joseph Manson, Susan Perry, and Amy Parish, found that that females' solicitation of males was decoupled from their fertility. In other words, they had plenty of sex even when pregnancy was impossible — such as when they were already pregnant, or while lactating just following birth.
In addition, interactions among mature and immature individuals were just as common as interactions between two adults, for both species. If animals indulge in more sex than is strictly necessary for conception, that too might hint at a pleasure-driven motivation to do the deed.
Dogs masturbate in various ways. They mount and thrust against other animals, people and objects, such as wadded-up blankets, dog beds and toys. Sometimes, dogs just rub against people or objects without mounting them , or they lick themselves.
Puppies often mount and hump their littermates, other playmates, people and toys. Some experts believe that this behavior functions as practice for future sexual encounters. As puppies reach sexual maturity, they start to mount other dogs in sexual contexts. Home News Views. Published: December 01, Help us make PetMD better Was this article helpful?
