UPDATED: Let’s Talk About Bestiality

UPDATED with news about me going to hell in a doggie bag because of this “deeply disturbing” post: SEE BELOW…

The enormous popularity of 50 Shades of Grey got me thinking about kink; bestiality in particular. Not that the novel has anything to do with sexual relations between humans and animals. It doesn’t. But it does have to do with BDSM, which is kink. And bestiality is pretty kinky.

I wasn’t thinking about BDSM or bestiality or fetishes because I’m kinky. I’m not. I was just thinking about kink because my brain happened to bring it up during one of the lively musical jam sessions inside my head.

I have those because my brain makes its own music. Lots of it. Often. There is, of course, a logical, rational explanation as to why this happens…

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

When the screws rattle around inside my head they create snappy, happy little tunes. It’s really pretty cool. It’s just one of the many blessings of being…eccentric (my kinder, gentler buzzword for crazy).

So while drinking my morning coffee I was reading an article about 50 Shades of Grey and I accidentally dropped my coffee spoon on the floor. The act of bending to retrieve it started a tuneful jam session. The melody was clanky and clinky which, naturally, made me think of kinky…you know, because of the rhyming thing.

When I sat straight up again, my gaze landed on an ad for dog food, which got me thinking about how much I miss our dearly departed little cocker spaniel. And since kink had already come to mind, the natural progression was for me to think about bestiality.

You can see that, can’t you?

Not that I would ever dream of engaging in bestiality with a cocker spaniel, or any other household pet or farm animal or jungle animal or—

Wait a minute…

I thought about it for a moment as the brain music clinked and clanked and I realized that, yes…yes, maybe I might consider engaging in bestiality of a certain kind after all.

The image flashing through my mind made me laugh, which caused the stuff inside my head to rattle more, creating bouncier tunes, until all the joy and frivolity and music up in there made me jump up from my chair and do a happy dance on the kitchen floor.

Just so you don’t think I’m a sexual deviant as well as a total nutcase, I should explain that I’m not sexually coveting anybody’s cocker spaniel, milk cow, potbellied pig, mountain goat, or rooster. The animal would have to be a shapeshifter, you know, like the hot, sexy ones in the fantasy romance novels. I’ve written a few of those myself. They’re always hunky, gorgeous, muscular, fearsome half-human and half-animal super sexy creatures.

So that would automatically rule out this type of shapeshifter:

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

They wouldn’t work because the wrong half is animal. I mean, who’d want to look at a horse’s face while having sex? Unless you’re like really into horses and maybe have a kinky horse fetish or something. Remember all those girls in the schoolyard who used to run around pretending they were horses? Like that. I never got that. So, I don’t know…maybe those little horsey-obsessed girls grew up to become devotees of bestiality, which means they might like to look at a horse’s face while having sex.

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

But then…if the shapeshifter had a human head and torso, and an animal bottom, then you’d have to deal with the animal’s totally foreign private parts during intimacy. That could get sort of clunky and awkward. I know women talk about men who are hung like a horse but, seriously, doing it with the actual real, live horse part? Nuh-uh. I don’t think so. I mean, just the smell alone…

So shapeshifter sex would have to happen in that brief period of time when the changeling is in full human form with a nice, handsome human head and human dangly bits, and no barnyard odor. For purposes of copulation, that shouldn’t be a problem, considering two minutes is all a male shapeshifter would really need to remain in human form.

Just because I (well not me, actually--it was my shameful, naughty alter ego, Daisy Dexter Dobbs) wrote a whole bunch of erotic romance novels over the last decade, I’m still a fairly Doris Day-ish sort of woman in real life. (If you’re too young to understand that reference then you shouldn’t even be reading a blog that uses the words bestiality, BDSM, fetish, or kink. You belong here instead.) Although Doris, like Betty White, has always been an animal lover and crusader, I’m pretty damn sure neither she nor Betty has ever engaged in bestiality.

I was going to draw a funny picture about that…but I don’t really even want to think about it, and I doubt you do either.

Times have certainly changed since Doris was in movies. If Doris Day and Rock Hudson were making those romantic comedies today, you never know…there might be some bestiality involved. I can just imagine a modern day version of Pillow Talk

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

I think what bothers me most about bestiality is the ridiculous, illogical spelling of the word. Since it has to do with beasts, why isn’t it spelled BEASTiality instead of BESTiality? What does having sex with animals have to do with being best? Fooling around with fowl is just plain foul.

Wait…you know that question I just asked about what’s best about bestiality? It was rhetorical. If you seriously have an opinion on the subject, please don’t tell me because I’m pretty damn sure I don’t want to hear it. If you’re a zoophile who feels the need to discuss what makes bestiality totally awesome, then you’d probably be happier here instead.

If Seinfeld were still on the air, I wonder if they’d be writing jokes about bestiality…not that there’s anything wrong with that.

(If reading this post has caused you to look at Rover, Mittens, or your pet turtle in a different, covetous light, please accept my profuse apologies.)

UPDATED: So it looks like I may be going to hell…in a doggie bag (I figured since this post is about bestiality, my mode of transportation will probably be a doggie bag instead of a handbasket). As result of this post with its shockingly shameful bestiality cartoonage, I’ve lost 3 followers and have received 2 rather unkind, chastising emails from “churchy” type people who felt it necessary to warn me of my imminent destination because of this “deeply disturbing” post. I think they’re convinced I must be Beelzebub’s daughter.

*blink*

Come on, folks…seriously?

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

It’s okay though, I'm not really upset. I only succumbed to the ugly cry for about 10 minutes.

 Let’s Talk About Bestiality – by Super Earthling

Actually, I think it's pretty damn funny that my silly cartoons have caused such a stir. As a humor writer, I know better than to expect everyone to embrace my peculiar sense of humor, and I’m perfectly okay with that. Honest. I basically just write what makes me laugh, and hope it will make some of you smile too. If this off-the-wall little post actually offended those people (and it did), they shouldn't be reading my blog (or most others) anyway, so hasta la vista, baby! :D

This whole ridiculous feedback thing has given me some deliciously naughty ideas for future posts, so it’s probably best if those super straight-laced churchy people don’t come back.

If you’d like to help me get my confidence back (PLEEEEZE!), it would be GREAT if you’d follow my blog--you know, as a sort of protest against those who unfollowed me because of the Beelzebub Jr. thing. This isn’t like me putting up a cheesy PayPal “support-my-blog” link because following my blog doesn’t cost you even a single penny! Yay! The trouble is, since I removed the little Google Friend Connect box with all the little faces, no one seems to realize they can still follow me (even though people who want to unfollow managed to find the link IMMEDIATELY—LOL). So here are some different ways you can follow my blog:

  5. You do realize that this blog post is going to get TONS of creepy Google hits, right?

    This one made me laugh because I spend a horrible amount of time figuring out what to write about, too. And sometimes, the story of how I arrived at a topic is WAY more interesting than the ultimate topic itself.

    My favorite way is to come up with TWO topics and then force them to melt into ONE topic no matter how much of a mismatch they appear to be.

    I'm resisting the urge to throw out a link to my neck of the woods for all of those SICKOS who got here because they were googling bestiality or any of the other searches this post is going to turn up for...

  25. I wondered the same thing after reading the Harry Potter books. There is a centaur in it who becomes a teacher. He taught astronomy in one of the towers. My first thought was "How the heck does he get up there. I'm sure those steps are narrow. And can he even get down? Where does he pee?!?" Because it's a school. I'm sure there are sanitary inspections. Then I was all "DUH! MAGIC!"

    But I digress... A couple of the students had a crush on him. So, it got me wondering how that would all go down. I'm sure they would ride off into the sunset first, of course. But after they find that soft patch of moss in the moonlight, what then?

    Glad it's not just me. :)

    ...two hostile electricities,
    two eyes
    that entered into mine
    nailing me
    to the ground
    and to the leprous wall.
    I saw then
    the body that undulated
    and was
    a velvet shadow,
    a flexible perfection,
    pure night.
    Under the black pelt,
    making a subtle rainbow,
    were powderlike
    topaz rhomboids
    or hexagons of gold,
    I couldn't tell which,
    that sparkled
    as
    the lean
    presence moved.
    The panther
    thinking
    and palpitating
    was
    a
    wild
    queen
    in a cage
    in the middle of
    the miserable
    street...

    Personally, I have no 'humor aversion' & don't consider myself to be sexually repressed. I'm just a wee bit reserved about some things. (I blush, ok, I blush.) ~ This particular blog, I completely saw the message, the humor, the whole picture(s) and I was not offended.

    However, because in the wide variety of people I interact with in social media, I know I have a segment of population that is highly judgemental to certain things. (yes, some of them might be 'churchy', all of that particular segment is not always 'churchy', but still very judgemental. (The good news, I think is judgemental is also mental????)
    * * *
    Because of this aspect, I know I try to be 'careful' in mentioning or promoting your blog especially on Twitter. (YOU KNOW I do what I can when I can.) My reasoning is less 'what these people think about me' and whole lot more "I was afraid they'd hit the block and report on you." (As far as I know 'block' only is not big deal to Twitter, but block & report gets the Twitter ADMIN looking your way.) I was really worried about that until very recently I stumbled across truly in my opinion REAL pornographic twitter accounts that are allowed by Twitter corporate. You need not run there right away, but I have a blog post titled "Pornographic Twitter" which would more fully explain that which I speak of.

    As if you don't already have plenty to do and plenty more to deal with.... do you know who Karen Finley is? Karen Finley wrote two of my favorite snarky snarky books back a few decades. She is my absolute "Queen of Snark" ~ all these snarky folks out there today, these kids have no clue exactly what & who great snark is unless they've read Karen Finley. It was only this past year that I found out in shock that it was 'uh' 'churchy' like Democrats <--- FOR REALS that practically made her out to be the 'antichrist' also a few decades back. I had no clue that Karen Finley was actually a stand-up comedian who was practically crucified for covering her naked body in chocolate and going on-stage to perform a show. Really! I had wanted to write a "What Happened to Karen Finley?" blog post and found all this out via Wikipedia. I was too busy working at the time this all happened to her. I was clueless about it. Needless to say, the fire for my prospective blog post waned.

    NOW truthfully, would I approve of anyone including Karen Finley going on stage nekked, covered in chocolate? Well probably not, that's just me. Do I love, adore, appreciate, revere the thinkings Karen Finley brought to me in her books? ABSOLUTELY!

    Final point: YOUR BLOG got a few people way stirred up, I totally agree with all of the 'you just be you' & remember this ~ IN TODAY'S SOCIETY WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU, YOU MUST BE RELEVANT! I'll keep reading, much love to you from your @grammakaye on twitter.

    1. Kaye, you are a sweet, kind, lovely and caring person--and I truly appreciate you and your supportive, encouraging words. It was so thoughtful of you to take the time to write this clearly heartfelt comment--and your hugs are graciously accepted. :)

      Please don't ever feel the need to apologize for not mentioning or promoting my blog on Twitter or anywhere else. I sincerely never want to be the cause of anyone doing something that might make them uncomfortable for any reason. I just want to make people smile and laugh and feel good. :)

      Just the fact that you and the other commenters here take the time out of your busy days to let me know I've brought a smile to your day is reason enough for me to treasure you and all the other wonderful, supportive readers I have.

      Thank you so very much for your wonderfully caring comment, Kaye--it's something that will always bring a smile to my heart when I think of it. :)

  36. I know I don't need to tell you this...but I'm gonna say it anyway! Never apologize for your work. You felt compelled to share it with the world, and most of us are very glad (as usual) that you did. It's so refreshing to see someone really BE THEMSELVES in any capacity. And I, as a fellow writer, applaud you for it.

    Just think of it as the few who left are just making more room for those who truly enjoy your blog, and don't want to miss a single post. : D Keep 'em comin' Lady!

    1. Thank you very much, Lisa! Fortunately, I'm at a very good place in my life. With age has come wisdom, confidence and self-acceptance. If this had happened to me when I was younger (and similar things had, back then), I would have felt quite hurt, my confidence would have been shaken, and, out of fear of further hurt, I would probably have changed the direction of my blog to make sure it was as inoffensive as possible.

      Not now. :)

      Today, I fully embrace who I am, flaws (and there are many--LOL) and all. I like myself and I enjoy what I do. It took me decades to reach this point, but it's a very good place to be. I can look at this situation and shake my head while laughing, understanding that it's not me with the problem, it's the judgmental people who have the problem. :)

      Again, thank you so much for your support, encouragement and kind words! :)

  38. Stick to your guns, Super Earthling, and you're better off without those preachy churchy types. This is your blog and if they don't like it they can just be grown up and make a grown up choice not to read it.

    I didn't see the "Follow me" link. I got around the absence of gadget by manually adding your URL to my Blogger dashboard. You can do that, you know, to follow any old blog whether it has a gadget, widget, clicky-linky-dooda or not.

      Thanks also for following my blog! I know there are a bunch of different ways to follow blogs, so whatever way works for you definitely works for me! (Since I mostly use Google Reader to read my favorite blogs, I usually paste the blog link into their subscribe box.)

  40. Wowza! I read this a few days ago, and came back by (because I do that sometimes with things I like) and saw your warning and update.

    I have three things to say:

    1) You are my most favorite "acquisition" of blogs I follow (I do not mean that in a creepy, I want to wear your head as a hat way... well.. um...)

    2) Anyone who clicks on a link with "Bestiality" in the title, not expecting something about sex with animals is either very, very sheltered and should get off the internet right now, or knows exactly what they're reading and read it anyway so that they could be both offended and slightly turned on at the same time.

    3) You made someone mad on the internet! I can only dream of such fame.

    Seriously. You rock. Write whatever you want and I'll keep reading. I smile whenever something new comes out on your blog.

  41. Hahahaha! You made me laugh with this post. thanks for the comment and follow, I'll do the same. See? You do humor like I do. It's not like other writers who have dialog in their heads...we have gag jokes going on and laugh spontaneously. It makes us look like loons, but never you mind. We're the fun people on this planet. And who needs TV or the movies. We've got our brains to keep us entertained.

  45. Okay, I am definitely a churchy-type, for sure. I announce my Christianity on my blog and you'll not see me post anything more colorful than a seasonal vegetable medley. With that said, I also have a sense of humor. God gave it to me! He gave me the ability to take things lightly, especially myself. Whether or not you'll be going to hell in handbasket or a doggie bag has nothing to do with you drawing a smooshed cartoon dog on a bed. People shouldn't push away other people by scaring them about eternity.

    With that said, when I heard about 50 Shades (which I will not read, of course), I immediately thought of your naughtier self and wondered why she didn't get this much publicity. I can't compare Daisy's writing's with 50 Shades because I haven't read hers either, but I'm sure it's just as...equivalent. :-) By the way, I know what bestiality is and what S&M is, but I don't know what BDSM is. I followed the first link and laughed, but I was too terrified to follow the second.

    1. Thank you very much for your lovely, supportive comment, Blessed Mama! :D

      Oh my…you’ve given me some rather heavy topics to tackle here. LOL

      I don’t really like to delve into religion on a public forum, especially a humor blog, but I will say that I am a strongly spiritual woman who also happens to be Christian. To me, “churchiness” or being “churchy” are negative terms that have nothing whatsoever to do with one's personal spirituality or faith. It has far more to do with small-minded, aggressive people who believe they are superior to others simply because they attend church. Churchy people are judgmental, bigoted, and enjoy letting everyone else know how bad or wrong they are because they may be different. Churchy people do not follow what their religion preaches; because no religion teaches people to be cruel or unkind.

      Therefore, to my way of thinking, Blessed Mama, you are not churchy. :) You are a good, kind person who is a woman of faith, and that faith happens to be Christianity. Perhaps because you attend church, you like to call yourself a churchy-type, and that's your prerogative. :)

      As for my writing: Today, most romance novels other than inspirational romances include sex scenes…to some degree. As Susan Bodendo I write women’s fiction and contemporary romance (romantic comedy), and I also (as Daisy Dexter Dobbs) write erotic romance novels that are funny, sexy romantic comedies. None of what I write is in any way similar to 50 Shades of Grey. I do not write BDSM. Having been raised in a physically and emotionally abusive household, I am not personally a proponent of bondage, sadism, domination, masochism or any of the other words connected with the BDSM lifestyle.

      The second link in my post above takes you to the San Diego Zoo, Blessed Mama, so I don’t think you need to be too fearful of that. LOL (Just hover over any link and you'll see the web address without having to click on it.)

      Thanks again for being so kind and supportive!

  46. Oh, dear. You lost me at the first 50 Shades of Grey.

    There are few thing in life from which one cannot recover, but that is certainly one. Where did someone get the idea that was a "romance" book?

    1. Well, Rob, there are lots of people who think 50 Shades is the bee's knees (wow, did I just date myself there or what? LOL). I don't happen to be one of them because, as you can see in my reply above to Blessed Mama, I'm not a proponent of BDSM. To me, romance is something much sweeter and lovlier. :)

      But if reading about, or practicing BDSM makes others happy, then it's not up to me to criticize their preferences. :)

  47. I made the fatal mistake of reading this over a bag of fruit flavoured jelly sweets. I laughed so hard I choked and snorted like a mad hyena! The downside is that I have a small piece of pineapple flavoured jelly sweet stuck to my septum somewhere! Small price to pay for such brilliant comedy!

    Honstly, I can't see what all the fuss is about, if you ask me, '50 Shades' was rather grey! I was hoping for more kink! Bloody 'Mommy' porn!

    I, too, could go for a sexy shape shifter, but I think I just watch too much True Blood! The guy who shifts into the dog is lush! Scruffy guys are hot!

    You're SO my kind of girl, Susan and if you're going to hell, I'll save you a seat next to the BBQ! You're in good company with me, doll! The churchy do-gooders can just get bent! Smug twats, who needs 'em?! It must be so awful to go through life with no sense of humour and a giant stick up your arse! Oops, was that mean of me? Meow! (If anyone has a nasty reply to this, leave it on my blog! Stop harassing my friend and cluttering up her comment box with your crap! She has just as much right to be here and express her opinion as you do!)

    God, I miss Seinfeld! I own the box set and every spring/summer, I have Sein-fest! All 9 seasons back to back! Yeah, baby!

    Anyway, I hope you have a smashing weekend. Much love. :) ♥♥♥

      There are just so many things I love about your wonderful, supportive comment, I don't know where to begin. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feelings about my apparently disturbing post and for letting me know you found it so funny. :D

      I miss Seinfeld too. Fabulous comedy!

      Thanks especially, Jeanne, for the offer to save me a seat at the big BBQ down under (and I mean WAY down under! LOL). I'm hoping I won't be able to make it...but you never know. ;-)

  50. So...eating an animal is fine, according to the church folk, but giving a little sexual healing is not. Worse than all that is writing a funny blog post. I just want to know the God laws because I really am looking forward to Heaven.
