Almost everybody in the fishing business has had sex with a manta at some point. Apparently.

  • Umm, purely academic question here -- when having sex with a manta, would a condom offer enough protection for those with a shellfish allergy?
  • It certainly wouldn't protect you from crabs.
  • You might have a ray of hope.
  • Oh, you little urchin!
  • Sounds like they have some crazy parties. Sometimes they dance a conger. *and ... rest*
  • I DID NOT NOT NOT want to know these things, but it was like a train wreck--I couldn't look away. I think this guy's a skeeve, and it's not true. Except for skeeves, maybe. So they release the ray--does it hurt them to de-stinger it, or kill them after they release them if they have no stinger? If so, not just skeeves, but assholes. "That's a moray!" Worst. Line. Evar. The whole subject makes me feel clammy. I don't want to sea any more articles like this. I doesn't want to think a-boat it, either.
  • Ship happens, GranMa.
  • And then you can jump the shark.
  • Kinda reminds me of that homo erotic love story Moby Dick.
  • Troy McClure stands vindicated.
  • This whole topic makes me a little eel.
  • Salmon chanted evening...
  • All they really want is a manta hug and kiss!
  • P.S. Manta rays do not have Stingers. They tend to prefer the cheaper SAM-7.
  • If the seaman's semen is in the sea demon, did the ray say OK, or was it gay play for pay?
  • Such salty matters make my head swim. I read with baited breath, and frankly, from start to fin, the whole thing sounds pretty fishy. Makes all that Aussie seafoam seem even ickier somehow.
  • *clicks on thread, screams*
  • Your plaice or mine? Don't flounder about. Mako your mind.
  • In related news, almost everybody who does business on eBay has had sex with Pikachu at some point.
  • HawthorneWingo, next time you're on a date, and your partner turns out to be a hogfish, walleyed, or a bit of a whale, don't be bullheaded, get them to suck some cod. Everybody enjoys a puffer.
  • Done!
  • Buncha PREVERTS!!
  • It took a lot of gull to post that picture.
  • *waves to GranMa*
  • That dolphin is teh hawt. Would love to get nauti with her.
  • What a maroon...
  • It was April the 41st, being a quadruple leap year I was driving in downtown Atlantis My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was overheating So I pulled into a Shell station They said I'd blown a seal I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay pal?"
  • think I had a wet dream... doo de doo hmm hmm...
  • I tried to proposition a Manta at the Minneapolis airport and ended up making out with a Senator :(
  • Not tonight, I've got a haddock...
  • You people are my chums!
  • And another seaman-laden vessel plows into the fishy trench much like a smutty magazine pic taped in Davy Jones' Locker. Wasn't all of this manta sex covered in The Sound of Waves?
  • I knew this post would spawn an ocean of puns. You haven't let me down.
  • ho'-ray
  • Blowhole.
  • Fish.
  • A to the proooved, Sistah! God you're good.
  • It's time we had this out, manta man.
  • Y'know, not to cast a depressing pall over all these delightful marine life jokes, but I've been wondering something. How come whenever you hear a story like this, it's always referred to as "having sex" with an animal or sometimes "sodomizing" an animal, but they never refer to it as "raping" an animal, even though common sense tells us that that's what it is?
  • Rape requires the ability to to have a sense of violation from the victim. The concept of having some kind of bodily boundaries in that sense is specifically human. These creatures are primitive lifeforms without self-awareness - the ability to consent, not consent, or be aware of what is going on beyond basic sensory input. Rape is a concept dreamed up by humans, it's a cultural development. I mean, the manta ray probably doesn't really like what's going on, per se, but compared to being latched onto by a lamprey or something, or getting eaten by another fish, it's not all that bad. It's cruel, but I don't think you can call it 'rape'. Forced sex, maybe. Bestiality covers it, dunnit?
  • The whole of of ya, sickos. Nothing but prawn on your minds. With friends like you, who needs anemones? I'd throw in a few more puns, but I'm too shellfish.
  • Rape requires the ability to to have a sense of violation from the victim. Do you think so? I'm not so sure; don't they still consider it rape when the victim is in a coma or vegetative state, like what you occasionally hear about happeining in hospitals and nursing homes?
  • *gurgle*
  • Rape requires the ability to have a sense of violation from the victim or by a human observer. I think. Say you have a beloved animal, and someone forces sex on them, I think you'd perceive it as your animal having been raped.
  • Does anyone else get the sense that they're being mentally raped by this thread?
  • With friends like you, who needs anemones? I was waiting for some bottom-feeder to bring out this old groaner. I refuse to use groper in a sentence.
  • Rape requires personhood. Bestiality covers the legal side when it comes to animals. It seems most journalists and legislators don't necessarily agree in concrete terms with Peter Singer or PETA on the status of forced sex with food. I want to see a news article cover a case of statutory bestiality.
  • ick
  • Bestiality covers the legal side when it comes to animals. I wasn't speaking in the legal sense, IC, but the philosophiocal/moral.
  • ick Oh, for carp's sake, I finally got that! DOH!! Well, done, Larababy waah waah waah waah *flashing red light Bad pun alert!
