Sexual Turnoffs

[Arkinesia]

We're now pretty sure T-Rex was an herbivore.

Wait, what?!

Damn these paleontologists who theorize the stupidest things...

The roots of their teeth were way too shallow to eat meat.

No! No! I refuse to believe they were herbies!

Why does a T- Rex have those tiny arms for there body size?

They relied on their enormous jaws to hunt.

To hunt for tasty, succulent vegetables, yes. The teeny arms were for holding flowers as part of their mating rituals.

I'm guessing that they were used for sex as they got older and bracers for younger generations. American palaeontologist Henry Osborn first described T. rex but initially expressed doubts that the diminutive arms he found belonged to this enormous animal. After investigating further and finding it to be true, he considered their purpose and advanced the first theory in 1906: that they were used as ‘graspers’ or stabilizers during copulation.

But this was only the start of a debate that still rages. In 1970 British palaeontologist Barney Newman suggested that the small arms braced the beast's body as it stood up.
Another, contrasting theory suggested that the small limbs are vestigials (degenerated organs that have lost their use).

To add to the confusion it seems that the muscular of the T. rex was very well defined and though the arms were disproportional to the animal's body, they were still very strong. So some people consider that the most useful function of the limbs was to be used as meat hooks while the animal fed. This theory is supported by the beautifully sharp claws on T. rex’s two fingers.

In contrast, Greg Erickson has recently commented on a biomechanical analyses of a new specimen. The aim of this study was to try and understand the physical capacities of T. rex's diminutive structures. Erickson has concluded that the elbow could not be extended beyond 90° and though the arms were very strong (they could lift about 180 kg or 400lbs) they had a very limited side-to-side and up-and-down motion.

It is also known that T. rex's arms were often broken (and mended) during its life, suggesting that the arms were poorly suited for their function that these animals could go without using their arms for extended periods of time.

I read an interesting theory a while back that suggested the arms were most useful in juveniles, as a counterbalance to the young dinsaurs fast quickly. The suggestion was made that the arms were proportionally longer in childhood compared to adulthood. However, as far as I know this theory did not gain popularity.

The truth is that no one knows the answer. Scientific inquiry into this issue has been going on for a century and it doesn’t seem likely that the mystery will be solved soon. If you have any other ideas, please let me know!

Holding flowers to present to prospective mates (the point was to tease Saurisisia). Come on, if I want a paleontology lecture I'll TG Sociobiology.

Yes, they used their massive jaws to chew mouthfuls of mind altering plants who used their tiny arms to mate constantly. No wonder they died out.

But they were happy.

[Pancakes Wrath]

Another turnoff: not talking during sex, and giving me a funny look when I do.

What kind of "talking" are we talking about? Dirty talk? Or just plain conversation?

The latter, sort of. If I can't make a joke or just say something then it just gets boring for me.

Yeah, at least the Rexies died happy and horny.

I tell jokes a lot during. That way you won't be as disappointed by the whole experience.

[Mk Steele]

lol talking, I can imagine someone saying "So the weathers nice today." or "You know in the news...[blank] happened"

I was once having sex in a canoe. And I told the girl that the sex was just like Budweiser.

Fucking close to water.

She has a sense of humor.

Every woman should.

What was the girl's reaction?

[Farnhamia]

Good for her. And you.

[Minoriteeburg]

Anal sex (for whatever reason) and fat women.
And gays, obviously...

The world is so full of a number things,
I know we should all be as happy as.
But are we?
No, definitely no, positively no.
Decidedly no. Mm mm.
Short people have long faces and
Long people have short faces.
Big people have little humor
And little people have no humor at all!
And in the words of that immortal buddy
Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead
To the guillotine:

Make 'em laugh

I think there's something remarkably compelling about the beauty of relationships outside of your own sexual preference, but that's just me.

With the amount of drinking you do I'm surprised that you can write coherent sentences.

There is. We're not all Neo Arcad.
