Homosexuality and bestiality are the same only in that they are both a deviation from the sexual behavior practiced by most people. And I am guessing that it is a fact that most people, of whatever orientation, do not engage in bestiality. I believe sexual play that includes anal penetration is incorrectly identified as being synonymous with homosexuality. Lots of men, gay and straight, enjoy anal stimulation.

My previous post in this thread was an attempt to demonstrate an absurdity by being absurd. People often use an argument to support their position that goes something like this:
Bob says that since Joe has never experienced X, Joe has no right to discuss X. Likewise, Bob resorts to the cultural relativism argument, saying Joe "cannot judge" X because X is part of Bob's culture and Joe is not within that culture. Also, Bob will resort to name-calling ("Equinophobe!"), which is no argument at all. His is an attempt to redirect the discussion to the mental state of Joe, but it does nothing to advance the debate.

Which incidentally brings us to the amount that entire argument made sense.

About as much as a talking horse.

Since we're not supposed to post without commenting, I'm just going to say that there is an excellent chance that their "kids" (har, har) will be ugly.

That's my opinion, and I'm sticking with it.

If this is the same case I think it is (I don't know of any other people dying recently due to...horses.) then there are more circumstances than the article posts shows.

For one, he was depressed and began doing this after his wife died. His friend apparently helped him and this was NOT his first night doing it. They had been doing this quite a few times and video taped it. The actual video tape of this is on the internet as well if you're REALLY interested in finding it (I'm not helping).

The horse mounted the MAN, not the other way around (I saw it confused once or twice). They did it in the same way you'd get a shot out of a stallion, which is basically a horse mounting bar, where the horse jumps up on a bar (so as not to damage the breeder) and does his thing (which takes all of 10 - 20 seconds).

In this case however, the guy who was supposed to be holding this gigantic horse penis in check (to make sure it didn't go too deep)...slipped. The horse got anxious, horny, whatever, and popped it in a bit further than what any human has room for internally. And that, is what happened and how it happens.

And no...I do not own/want/rent/buy/like bestiallity, this particular...death...just fascinated me.

Holy shit, where are you getting these details?

I am resurrecting this thread because of a show I stumbled across a couple of days ago.

Imagine my unbridled (har, har) joy when I turned on the Discovery Channel to something called "Dirty Jobs." The host was tasked with completing both ends of artificially inseminating a horse! I gotta tell ya, I was high-fiving myself when I saw what the show was about.

So they had this structure that the stud horse put his forelegs on, and they hold in front of the horse what was called an "artificial vagina." Either it didn't look much like a real one, or I've been doing things WAYYY wrong.

Anyway, the horse starts humping it, and the host, with some difficulty, hangs on to it. End result: A baggie with about a half cup of semen in it. Street value: $25,000. Oh, I forgot to tell you: The first time he did it, the cameraman screwed up. They took the horse for a walk around the barn. When he came back in, he walked over to the structure, put his forelegs on it again, and waited for the artificial vagina, which he proceeded to fill up again. No WONDER he's called a stud!

So if he can't consent, does that mean the host is guilty of a sex crime? Conviction would be a lock, since it was on national TV, even though that horse looked pretty damn eager.

Oh, and the mare they inseminated: Was she raped?

Now this, this is why I come here. Where else are the really meaningful questions asked of the universe at large?

I agree. It's ridiculous. Which, of course, was my point in regard to "lack of consent."

As you might recall, my earliest post referred to "consenting adults," and the hairsplitting crew argued about what the meaning of "consent" is.
