Not So Cute: Dolphin Gang-Rape
Published by We humans love to get close to these clever, cute and cuddly sea-creatures, but do you know how they treat their women in the world of dolphin debauchery? Do you really want to?
Ever since Flipper appeared on our screens we’ve known dolphins to be highly intelligent, social creatures with an advanced communication system and the tendency to help humans when in trouble. Many of us have seen them performing tricks in captivity or watched them on television displaying the same manoeuvres in the wild. Some of us (including myself) have even been lucky enough to swim with one. But how many of us are aware of their slightly less courteous behaviour?

Dolphins have a dark side, too…
Researchers have been studying the sexual behaviour of dolphins intensely for the last decade, after it was discovered they not only partake in homosexual activity (read more HERE), but also gang-rape and kidnap females who don’t reciprocate their sexual advances.

In order to coerce the reluctant females, males form groups of two or three – often remaining together in their search for sexual gratification for well over a decade. When they find a suitable female they literally force her to mate with one or more of the group, and have even been known to herd their unwilling consorts for months at a time, basically using them as their personal sex-slaves.
Although dolphins are not alone in the animal world of gang-rapists, research suggests they’ve the perfected the art to a degree unseen in any other species, and it seems they don’t limit their advances to their female partners, either: there are several reports claiming divers and swimmers have also been accosted.
Studies would suggest the behaviour is likely to be undertaken for reasons of pleasure as much as reproduction, as dolphins are known to enjoy sexual activity in cases when reproduction would be physically impossible.

i know male ducks do this, a gang of males will gang rape the poor duck and leave her on her own to bring the young up, while some males are like gentlemen, they breed and stick by the female and protect his young.

Let me ask u this… If Shaq showed up @ ur doorstep with a dolphin and said “choose the one of us to rape u or we’re both raping u” wich one would u choose???

I’d pick Shaq, a dolphin ejaculates with enough force to kill a human being. Not to mention the 2 foot long thrusting boner.

This is a pretty ridiculous article. You are applying our moral compass to animals, which makes no sense. I am sure other animals do this – it doesn’t make it right, but doesn’t make it wrong. They are animals – they don’t have a sense of right and wrong like humans – they just act. Do we say the tiger is cruel when it sinks its teeth into the neck of an antelope?

does a dolphin really have that much force or r u making crap up? If it’s the truth that is 1 hell of a boner!!! (i would pick shaq too because i feel i would b too emotionally scared form being raped by an animal i concidered intelligent and friendly)

To Chuck:
This is not a ridiculous article. Morons insist on idealizing dolphins, implying that they are somehow better than humans and that we should be more like them. This article blows such imbecilic notions out of the water.

I’ve heard of this before. It is said that humans and dolphins are the only creatures who have sex for the fun/pleasure. That’s pretty funny. However, I’m sure there’s some dirty dogs and monkeys out there who has got a lot of fun too!

So the inhumane behaviour of us humans did not even spare these dolphins from being affected!
thanks for the share

Well if they’re ganging up on a female and taking turns, obviously that’s for their own pleasure. Isn’t the natural tendency more to compete, if it’s for reproduction only?

Interesting read

Wow, I will never look at dolphins the same! I never realized how horny animals really are.

“Image from Wikipedia”…Really? You’re not even going to find the source? That really makes me question the validity of this whole article.

One question. Why does homosexuality show up under dolphins have a dark side? since when can you compare this shit to gang raping?
On January 29, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Oh! This is very interesting. Never thought such cute creatures could have such a side to them.
On March 18, 2012 at 2:12 am
I agree. How can homosexuality be considered “dark” and even be compared to rape!
