Kinky sexual behavior

With a title like that, I’m pretty sure this weblog posting will be read. Especially accompanied by the titillating (to dogs, at least) photo of Serena and her new canine boy-toy, Rocco. Yesterday, in freezing weather, made worse by an even-more-freezing wind chill, I dedicated myself to capturing this rather rare animal behavior: a spayed female humping away on a neutered male, who, by his expression, is either in a state of erotic pleasure or, more likely, complete bemusement.

So here we are, with several inches of snow/ice on the ground, and freezing rain coming down right now, and we’ve got to also worry about our dog’s sexual identity. Fortunately, I found some info via Google that reassured us that Serena isn’t as bizarrely caninely kinky as I thought at first. This vet, for example, gives some reasons for a female dog starting to hump another animal—in the case he addresses, a male cat, which is decidedly more kinky than a male dog, so I guess Serena is normal by comparison.

It is, though, still rather disconcerting to watch your sweet little girl puppy pumping away on a male dog like a sailor on shore leave who has been at sea for six months. Probably this is just dominance behavior, though it certainly seems like something else is going on between Serena and Rocco that approaches some sort of doggie romance. When she is on a leash, he walks beside her, and they playfully nip at each other’s muzzles almost as if they are kissing. Then, Rocco will lie down on his back, spread his legs, and Serena will jump on top of him.

Laurel spoke to Rocco’s owner a few days ago, and told the woman what was going on between our “children.” She was aghast: “That’s sick!” she cried. Knowing her attitude, I felt a little funny taking photos of the two dogs yesterday within view of Rocco’s house. It being so cold, and needing to remove my gloves to take a picture, I wanted to get an explicit photo as soon as possible. So Laurel spurred Serena on: “Get him, Serena! Get him! Jump on him! Show what kind of a studette you are!” Hopefully the cold air didn’t result in sound carrying all the way to Rocco’s house, or we may be facing a canine sexual harassment suit, which I suspect isn’t covered under our umbrella insurance policy.

I have two male dogs and one female. The female has been fixed but the males have not.. I have noticed the males humping all the time and what is really bad is that they rub on each others back and then lick at each others genitals and this freaks me out.. I did experience watching when one was on the others back, he got excited like he was having sex and then the other licked or sucked on it.. Please tell me what the heck this is..Please

I have a female dog that does that too. I don't think there is necessarily anything that indicates a problem about it. Myrtle, the female, and Opie, the male, certainly don't seem bothered by that. I must admit that I find it funny when Myrtle gets started at it, she seems so intent on doing a good job of it. Opie just gets this dumb grin on his face and waits for Myrtle to finish.

Mounting is practiced to establish a dominance over other animals as well as serve as a sexual activity. The truth is, modern science explains that animal sexuality completely mirrors that of humans. There is such thing as homosexuality in dogs and other animals, especially those living in larger populations. One scientific theory is that it is a natural response to overpopulation. This is why you see it more often in more intelligent species that are capable of surviving in larger numbers and reproducing at faster rates. The bottom line is that it is very possible for your pets to be homosexual or bisexual.

I have a 4 year old placid spayed female pug. I purchased an 8 week old female pug who is now spayed (at 7 months) and is 8 months.In the last month are so the puppy mounts my adult pug from the rear and wraps her paws around her and thrusts at her & doesn't stop until I spray her with water bottle or phyically pull er off. She has become agressive to one of my two neutered male cats. And the whole animal dynamics in my home is upside down. I am upset and it certainly appears the other three are very upset. She is not acting in a gender appropriate manner. Please help, what can I do????

I have two female dogs that lick to lick each other all day long. Does that make them dykes? Is this behavior normal? Should I intervene? So far I have just been trying to distract them so they wont inbarise me in front of people.
