Ha ha! I was posting in the wrong place, absolutely determined to embarrass myself! My face is fucking crimson right now, and yet I soldier on:

Thank you. Thank you so much. When I was reading I was sort of looking for it — something closer to interspecies inappropriate touching or whatever. It added to the anticipation not to have it, though. Plus, I thought — perhaps naively, and completely hypothetically — how compatible would human sexual pleasure and dolphin sexual pleasure actually be? Probably not very. Now, mind you, I thought this very much in passing, without pausing to consider specifics and especially not even remotely considering...um...a word that starts with "p" and rhymes (approximately) with "defenestration." (Yes, I can be that willfully naive.)

And *then* you commented back at me with the phrase "sex with a dolphin." And my earlier half-formulated, quickly dismissed thought about sexual compatibility reared its   came up (my god, I can't even use figurative language here) occurred to me again. Again with the categorical denial attached. But I wanted some sort of confirmation of that. Okay, I thought, I answer questions just as weird as "how do dolphins have sex with other dolphins? What is involved in dolphin sexual stimulation?" every day. Okay, maybe not *every* day, but often enough. I am an information professional.

And then I made the biggest mistake I've made in recent memory (and I truly live a haphazard existence constantly teetering on the brink of personal destruction, so that's saying something): I googled dolphin sex. Have you done this? Is this part of your trauma from the past couple of days? Because, sister, I *feel* for you now. Oh, Pandora. The results are almost entirely zoophilia-related. The rush of squick has settled deep in my stomach except for when it goes visiting and tickles the back of my gag reflex. Where is the science?*

I will never choose curiosity over blissful ignorance again. And, once more, thank you. There is no tasteful there. Your judgment is very sound.

*I would have done better to *think* in more scientific language. Dolphin reproduction, dipshit! Except, of course, that wouldn't give details about...and, shit, if I think about dolphins in that way one more time, even just among their own kind, I'm going to feel like I'm perving on their entire species. ::weeps::
