bbnt said:Hey Levonian, does this describe your sex life?
By human standards chimp sexual life is a perpetual open air orgy compulsive, never- ending, and always with the male grasping the female from behind. The average copulation rate is one or two an hour. Every hour. For each mature chimp. In estrus, of course, it's more. When the females are ovulating and able to be impregnated, their vulvas and allied nether parts swell extravagantly and turn bright pink. In estrus, they're walking sexual advertisements, and are then far more alluring. Because estrous periods are to some degree synchronized, there are times when a chimpanzee group is a sea of bobbing, compliant, soliciting swollen red rumps. Olfactory cues also signal their sexual availability. In marginal cases a passing male, unable to determine just by looking if she's ovulating, may simply insert his finger into her vulva and take a sniff.
Chimpanzee sex isn't a long and drawn-out business. Maybe eight or nine thrusts, each taking less than a second, and they're done. The males have, by human standards, impressive recovery rates, including documented sequences of many ejaculations at five-minute intervals. Females in estrus are especially attractive in the early morning, probably because of the long and stressful celibacy imposed on the males by the necessity of having to sleep at night. As a kind of community property for the males, she may be taken every ten minutes by one male after another through mid-morning, by which time they may tire a little....
The only time I'd like to turn it off is when someones kid is screaming and crying in publicTarafied said:Well, as a hearing person, there are certainly times when I wish I could "turn off" my hearing for a while. Like when my hubby is snoring away in bed, or when the baby cries and whines during and car trip and you can't very well stop to cuddle him every 5 minutes like he wants. Or when you're traveling with someone who insists on blaring music that you hate.
I did asked one most important question in somewhere else but I am not sure if I ever get any response before...TheAssassin said:So, any deaf people got any questions for a hearer?
Heck yes we can hear our fartsMagatsu said:I did asked one most important question in somewhere else but I am not sure if I ever get any response before...
I guess it is ok for me to ask again since I don't dare to ask Nas (my lover) or my hearing friends about it. The most important question, which always naggin' me anywhere for several years: Can hearies hear their own farts?
Seriously, I always wonder if they can or can not.
Another question that I always forget to ask Nas about it, can hearies hear the engine when drive the vehicle on the road & freeway if the car window is open?
Thanks for answers!TheAssassin said:Heck yes we can hear our farts
As for the engine on the road, it depends what car it is, how powerful/loud the engine is. Also depends how fast you're going. Most of the time you can.
I can't imagine not hearing farts. That's the whole point of a fart! (besides the smell)Magatsu said:Thanks for answers!
Well, you know some people cannot smell their own breaths. I guess that is similar as in fart case :PTheAssassin said:I can't imagine not hearing farts. That's the whole point of a fart! (besides the smell)

No, I mean about their breaths. Never mind, I think I used the wrong example.TheAssassin said:Some people can't smell their own farts??
Oh you mean the one with the headband? Hey, at least you don't have to wear the body worn kind that was popular many years ago. I understand as I'm on a list with a large population of TCS people and they are always complaining about how uncomfortable the bone conduction aids are.....are you eligable for the microtia repair or the canalplasty so you can wear air conduction aids or even the Bone anchored hearing aid?wear this stupid Bone Conductor hearing aids.
