That must be way so many humans love dolphins.
Anne W. Jul 5, 2008, 4:53pm EDT
Fascinating!
Amy B. Jul 5, 2008, 4:56pm EDT
I wonder how they figured that out.
Kim M. Jul 5, 2008, 5:07pm EDT
interesting!
Brittney R. Jul 5, 2008, 5:09pm EDT
Did they interview the males or females?
khattab o. Jul 5, 2008, 5:10pm EDT

Margaret G. Jul 5, 2008, 5:17pm EDT
pretty interesting.
dee b. Jul 5, 2008, 5:20pm EDT
Interesting!
Adelaide M. Jul 5, 2008, 5:26pm EDT
Interesting. I wonder how they know other animals don't...
Rhetta A. Jul 5, 2008, 5:28pm EDT
How do they know???
Shelbia C. Jul 5, 2008, 5:32pm EDT
I agree with Adelaide. How do they know? I mean dogs do their little humping thing even when there are no female dogs around.
Elaine B. Jul 5, 2008, 5:46pm EDT
Interesting!
Juan J Martinez Jul 5, 2008, 5:49pm EDT
New that. I had heard it some where before.
Vic Needs Coffee Jul 5, 2008, 6:43pm EDT
I had heard that before, but Shelbia raises a great question.

Thanks for posting on Getting to 3000
Larry M. Jul 5, 2008, 7:08pm EDT
I think several of the primate species have sex for pleasure.
Beth G. Jul 5, 2008, 7:53pm EDT
I heard that dolphins were more intelligent than humans too.
Sarah (I want points) Jul 5, 2008, 8:01pm EDT
dolphins? How funny...
Larry H. Jul 5, 2008, 8:14pm EDT
thanks for sharing. Hmmm?
Brian T. Jul 5, 2008, 8:21pm EDT
I've always said dolphins were smart.
Diana B. Jul 5, 2008, 8:26pm EDT
I read that about dolphins and actually they will try to mate with the same sex. In some ways they are like ducks in that I have seen ducks mate all year around, which I thought was unusual.
I have watched dolphins getting it on at the old Seaworld and I got mad that my man couldn't swim.
Whitney A. Jul 5, 2008, 9:37pm EDT
Interesting. I wonder how they know
Karen F. Jul 5, 2008, 10:50pm EDT
Sometimes there isn't much pleasure there even for humans...only with love can it be right. Lust doesn't count
Kerrell g. Jul 5, 2008, 11:12pm EDT
True, Karen.
Patricia J. Jul 5, 2008, 11:25pm EDT
They say dolphins are smarter than humans so we must be doing something right.
Tina Coruth Jul 6, 2008, 12:20am EDT
Very interesting!
Otelia S. Jul 6, 2008, 11:06am EDT
Glad to be a human but if not,,,,,I'd want to be a dolphin(ha ha)
Lisa W. Jul 6, 2008, 2:06pm EDT
Very funny...."I wonder how they figured that out" by Amy B.........My sentiments, exactly...
Actually, I have always been fascinated by the intelligence of Dolphins. Did anyone watch "Flipper" as a child?....
Nancy 67 Jul 6, 2008, 2:32pm EDT
I wonder about that...how about monkeys and apes? (although they seem more to just go for it and get it over with! ;-D )
Rita j. Jul 6, 2008, 2:50pm EDT
wow!
Dan R. Jul 6, 2008, 2:56pm EDT
So do you mean they have sex together for pleasure?
Isn't there a term for that?

Dogs I think just hump anything when ever they are in the mood. Saw a dog hump a light socket once, we just walked into the room and there he was, then we saw the lights flash and flicker, no time to have stopped him. Boy did it stink afterwords. The smell of burnt fleash was heavy...
Wilma D. Jul 6, 2008, 2:57pm EDT
Interesting.

Please ...I rarely find myself playing the "devil's advocate" and I'm generally not known to be a "negative nellie". But seriously, I have to ask, is it possible to cite the specific documentation that supports your statement.
Janie E. Sep 25, 2008, 11:46pm EDT
I've heard this somewhere before!!
