Sex Comment and Humour Blog. An entertaining slant on the amusing, lurid and sometimes ridiculous side of sex…

It seems wild pandas have wild sex after all.  The BBC natural history unit filming “Wild China” has finally achieved footage of passionate pandas in their natural habitat. It appears that pandas in zoos don’t show this behaviour – though maybe that’s because they don’t like people looking…

These reclusive, peaceful creatures are transformed at mating times into aggressive demanding lovers. Like so many human males, the panda sits around all day eating food of negligible nutritional value, but at mating times is transformed into a wild, sexual beast.

Pandas at risk
The Panda was adopted by the World Wildlife Fund as their symbol of species at risk, narrowly beating the whale, which the WWF felt was less cuddly and appealing than a panda.

Pandas are at risk of extinction for a number of reasons including low population numbers, low breeding rates, destruction of habitat and the inability of pandas in captivity to breed (getting whales to breed in captivity would create an even bigger problem no doubt).

Animal extinction
There’s a remarkable book on extinct animals called “A Gap in Nature”, where a naturalist has combined with an artist to create beautiful pictures and descriptions of recently extinct animals, from endearing hopping mice to stunningly beautiful birds.
Animals do become extinct if they don’t breed successfully.  The aggressive sexual activities of the Giant Panda show that every species focuses exclusively on sex at one time or another.  Each species continually strives to create another generation.   

The many reasons why humans have sex
Sex fulfils many needs apart from procreation in human beings, yes it’s huge fun, but it’s also a way that a couple bond, declaring their love for one another.  Sex reassures, it provides comfort when we’re in distress or stressed.  When we’re reminded of our own mortality, perhaps by the death of someone we love, sex reminds us of the joy and bliss of mortal existence. 

But sex is also taboo, especially among men, where discussion about sexual techniques or, heaven forbid, improving as a lover, is strictly off-limits.  But shouldn’t we all be striving to become better aware of how we can become better lovers? 

For men, it’s more of a problem for women, both because of taboo and the lack of any male advice or input on the subject.  Men don’t share this information, well up until now, at least. Now there’s a new website on the subject.  Men who have skills in lovemaking are welcome to post that information anonymously on forums at www.lovemakingforum.com. 

We welcome male and female input advising men on how they can become the best lovers they can possibly be.

Giant Pandas also welcome…
