1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,240 So, back to the orgy though, an erect 6 foot long arching penis is often present in these 2 00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,240 orgy's. 3 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:24,280 So these whales have penises that are 6 foot fucking long. 4 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,280 Could you imagine that? 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,160 That's like the size of a fucking tall person, a loppin' about in the ocean. 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,520 Good heavens. 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:43,840 Hello my girlies, to the girls, the gays and the theys. 8 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,640 Welcome back to another episode of the Bisexual Biologist. 9 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,400 My name is Riley, your host for the show, and this is a podcast where we talk queerness, 10 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,360 nature and everything in between. 11 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,880 On today's episode we're taking a deep dive into the wonderful world of cetaceans, a taxonomic 12 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,240 order made up of whales, dolphins and porpoises. 13 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,200 Not only are they some of the biggest species on our planet, but they are also some of the 14 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,000 gayest species on the planet. 15 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000 I shit you not. 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,120 This episode will feature some homosexual humpback whales, some bisexual bottlenose 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,800 dolphins and grey whale orgy's where 6 foot penises are the norm. 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:28,760 So let's dive in under the sea where everything is better and gay as can be. 19 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:36,680 Okay alrighty everybody, listen in, gather round children, I have a story to tell. 20 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Let's jump into our first queer icon of the rank, and that is our world famous global 21 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,080 superstar, the humpback whale. 22 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,520 So we're going to start off this episode by touching on, well it was recent, it was a 23 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,600 few months ago now, but recently there were some news headlines of two humpback whales 24 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,000 filmed getting down and dirty off the coast of Hawaii. 25 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,680 This is really exciting because it's the first time that was ever recorded and it's the first 26 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:07,920 ever recorded evidence of copulation of two males, let alone humpbacks as an entire species. 27 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,640 So the first time that they've ever seen two humpback whales performing sexual intercourse 28 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,720 turned out to be two very gay homosexual whales. 29 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,000 So cheers to that, we fucking love it, nature is gay as fuck as we say. 30 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000 So what happened? 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,280 One of the whales was seen to be holding the other in place with its pectoral fins, so those 32 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040 are the ones on the side, the big flippy ones, whilst penetrating his counterpart. 33 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,120 So the penises of male humpbacks are usually concealed in what is known as a genital slit, 34 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,280 this keeps their bodies nice and streamlined as they swim through the water, because if 35 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,800 they had their big old giant whale penises just flop on about, it'd probably be a lure 36 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,540 for other fish and sharks to come and bite it off. 37 00:02:43,540 --> 00:02:46,800 So they have a little slit that it hides and stays nice and safe in. 38 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,960 So the unsheathed penises have only been witnessed by humans a small number of times, the only 39 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,320 other time was when a whale was urinating, so golden shower moment, don't kink shame 40 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160 everybody, whales also like to have golden showers apparently. 41 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,480 A new research paper which was published in the Marine Mammal Science Journal suggested 42 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,760 that the cetaceans, being whales and dolphins, could use their genital slits or the anus 43 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,840 for same sex copulation to practice reproductive behaviour, motion of the oceans, or to form 44 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440 stronger social bonds and assert dominance. 45 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,960 So there's like an argument out there that the cost of same sex sexual behaviour shouldn't 46 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:31,880 like outweigh the actual act, so they're saying that the sheer energy input needed to perform 47 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840 same sex sexual behaviour doesn't have any like greater serving purpose when it comes 48 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,360 to like reproductive costs or like energy because you're putting energy into not producing 49 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,800 and offering, so like why is it prevalent in animals? 50 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,920 And there's a very big reason for this, the reason is to reduce tensions, to create social 51 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,400 bonds, to create more inclusivity within the pods because they're very social creatures, 52 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,960 most whales, dolphins live in a pod made up around 10 to 50 animals and it's a social 53 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,640 hierarchy as well, a lot of whales are matriarchal so that's led by a wise older female, go off 54 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,880 sis, and also mating practice is another reason why some of these behaviours are hypothesised 55 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:16,040 to be done in same sex sexual situations instead of heteronormative situations where no reproduction 56 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,040 is occurring. 57 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760 So if someone's feeling stressed of course they're going to give their mate like a little 58 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,400 bottle nose blowjob and everything's going to be better, why not? 59 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:30,120 So in cetaceans, the male's penis is normally concealed inside the animal's genital slit 60 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,800 presumably to make the body more hydrodynamic and streamlined and is externally extruded 61 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,320 for sexual behaviour only, so people going around saying that like these whales weren't having 62 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,200 sex well its penis only comes out to have sex unfortunately, so you're lying and you're 63 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,320 wrong. 64 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,200 So the humpback whale penis extrusion appeared to be rare and generally occur underwater 65 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,960 rather than at the surface, this is what makes this documentation of it in Hawaii so awesome 66 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,680 because it was below the surface. 67 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,280 Okay so now that we've had a little chat about the homosexual humpbacks, one of many gay 68 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:11,920 whale examples, let's move on to our bisexual bottle nose dolphin queens and kings. 69 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,000 So bottle nose dolphins, very grey, slippery, silky, smooth, cute, squeak a lot, all over 70 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000 the world. 71 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,600 So bottle nose dolphins lives are characterised by extensive bisexuality and they're combined 72 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,920 periods of exclusive homosexuality. 73 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,960 Bottle nose dolphins will live in all male groups or pods in which same sex sexual activity 74 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,400 is so common and often results in finding a lifelong partner. 75 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,880 That's really cute so these younger males can split off into an all male pods and just 76 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,840 have like a giant fuckfest and eventually find true love in the form of a male partner 77 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:48,840 and spend the rest of their lives with them. 78 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,000 They were seen protecting each other from predators, watching over each other while 79 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,040 sleeping and even aiding each other when the other is healing from an injury or feeling 80 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,040 ill. 81 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,320 That's fucking adorable, little bisexual bottle nose dolphins, the darlings. 82 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,840 There are lesbian examples as well, I know I'm talking all about like homosexual gay 83 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:13,960 males but documented versions of or documented proof of female to female interactions just 84 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,640 haven't been recorded yet but they are evident, they do exist, just not in a high number. 85 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,800 So there are lifelong lesbian partner dolphins out there, they just haven't been caught on 86 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800 camera yet so there's that. 87 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,440 Okay so some more fun facts about the bottle nose dolphins, so they are known to exhibit 88 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:36,280 homosexual behaviour through tactile interactions where members of the same sex, so males and 89 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,600 females, particularly males though, have been recorded mounting one another and stimulating 90 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,480 the other's genitals using a flipper, a melon, a phalum or a rostrum. 91 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Those are the different parts of the animal, I have to double check but I'm pretty sure 92 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,040 the melon is like the top of their head. 93 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Okay so some more information around the social bonds, same sex social sexual interactions, 94 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,360 oh that's a tongue twister, may encourage the formation of social bonds between members 95 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,360 of the same pod. 96 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Alliances between male bottle nose dolphins are more prevalent in calves and juveniles 97 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360 and they prohibit foreign males from mating with females of the group. 98 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,120 Strong social bonds between young males could lead to greater group cooperation and altruistic 99 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,120 behaviour. 100 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Another example of a gay whale is the orcas, also known as killer whales. 101 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,520 So they have a certain season where the males, all the males, will leave the matrilineal 102 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,560 group so that's the pod that's led by the head female, the matriarch. 103 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,160 So all the males will leave and then go and join an all male group at a gay ocean bar 104 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,080 apparently where homosexual interaction is the norm. 105 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,120 This can involve sexual play through the likes of splashing, jumping, nuzzling and rubbing 106 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,760 each other's genital areas with their mouths, so whale blow jobs. 107 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Orcas are also known to display their wrecked penises during these sessions. 108 00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:00,240 These sessions can last for hours, are always reciprocal and undertaken by seemingly all 109 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,240 males. 110 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Some will return to their favourite partner every year whilst others interact with multiple 111 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,080 males. 112 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:15,400 So again, love that, sounds a lot better than the dating scene in most cities of gay, what 113 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,800 am I trying to say? 114 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,520 Whale dating, gay whale dating seems like it's a lot easier than human male dating because 115 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,600 they're not vapid and they're not flaky and they're not all fucking only here for one 116 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,400 thing which is like muscle gay bullshit. 117 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,280 Oh my god, maybe I'll just reincarnate as a gay whale in my next life, seems like a 118 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,120 lot more fun, less pressure and probably a lot more worthwhile emotionally, physically 119 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,680 and mentally. 120 00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:44,680 Next one are grey whales who are known to have orgies. 121 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:49,560 So during the summer when the northward migration is occurring, whales get into groups of same 122 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,720 sex partners up to five. 123 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,720 Five-some 124 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,400 Behaviours include jumping, splashing and genital rubbing as also done by the orcas. 125 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,400 An erect six foot long arching penis is often present in these groups. 126 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Let's just read that one more time. 127 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,760 An erect six foot long arching penis is often present. 128 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,360 That's fucked up when you think about how big whales are and their penises are six foot 129 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,360 long. 130 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,920 Holy shit, this behaviour was also observed in females but to a lesser extent. 131 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,520 There you go, see grey whales also have lesbian only parties. 132 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,640 It's just not documented as much because again females being left behind, males taking centre stage 133 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,640 fucking typical. 134 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,320 A bonus contender in my information for you today is the West Indian manatee who is not 135 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,480 a cetacean but still a marine mammal. 136 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,240 They are quite homosexual and have been known to engage in a lot of homosexual play and 137 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,920 games with specific positions known as same sex convorting. 138 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Ooh, same sex convorting, that's interesting. 139 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,080 Often lasting four to eight times longer than the heterosexual mating encounters. 140 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,840 Okay, so the homosexual or same sex sexual behaviours of the West Indian manatees will 141 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:04,600 go on for a lot longer which just proves again that queer people, queer animals, queer, queerness, 142 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,600 queer anything have better sex than heteros. 143 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's true. 144 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Mouth to penis, flipper to penis and embracing each other head to tail, so 69 in manatee 145 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,760 things and side embraces were all documented and positions that were seen being done by 146 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,800 the West Indian manatees in their play, game, encounters. 147 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,680 So summary, homosexual behaviour plays an important part in development of close bonds between 148 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:33,280 males and other males and females and other females. 149 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,880 It allows negotiation of dominant relationships, so who is higher up in the hierarchy and who 150 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,720 is lower and it allows alliances to be formed within these pods of the whales and dolphins. 151 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,400 So there you have it, we've done a quick little summary of what's going on under the sea 152 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,640 in terms of which whales are gay, what they're getting down and dirty to, how they're getting 153 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,960 down and dirty and why they're getting down and dirty and good on them, so they should. 154 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,580 They're incredibly intelligent animals and I'd be quite surprised if they weren't gay. 155 00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:06,920 Like many of the other thousands of species on this planet, homosexuality, queerness, 156 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,520 nature is inherently gay and we are here for it and that's why I'm here to just ramble 157 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,080 on this podcast and talk about it more because in scientific literature it still has a stigma 158 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,640 around it, it's not talked about as much, most people don't even know about animals 159 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,680 being gay and then there's whole religion side of things where it's like God made everything 160 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:28,160 in his eyes so this is unnatural, it's like well if God made everything in his eyes then 161 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,240 why the fuck are all his fucking animals running around boning each other, riddle me that religion 162 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,240 God. 163 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,680 Anyway thank you for listening in to another episode of the Bisexual Biologist, this is 164 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,520 episode 2 of the season,
