Checking my email I realized I made a mistake toward the end that I wanted to correct.
I intended to write: "while I don't neccesarily condone SOME of the following for humans",( rather than "any".).... I was referring specifically to "post-coital cannibalism", which I really think is a bad idea. Some people are born hermaphroditic I guess, rarely as far as I know, and as to virgin birth, if you can pull it off, more power to you. How could I or anyone else "condone" those things or not. That word 'condone' is sort of loaded.

Like some other tweeters, I've been getting a stream of unwanted spam lately. At first they all seemed to be responding to my "somewhere under the rainbow post".
At first I was excited to get a response, but when I opened the first email it included a thumbnail photo of some lady displaying more of her personal real estate than I really wanted to see. Seemed like she might have had all sorts of ideas about what we might do under the rainbow together, or at least chat about on the phone while she (or he?) was at home, possibly naked. I wondered if "under the rainbow" was some sort of sexual code I've been missing out on, but then I also posted another post titled "getting down in Honky town" which would seem to me to attract more sex trolls. And it turned out that it did attract some, but for some reason my spam filter removed those. By the way, these spam posts are always sent from someone with a creative yet unlikely name.
This got me to thinking about the whole human "meat market" out there. When bored at the Anchor Pub I used to look at the "service" adds and personals in the Seattle weekly, 'The Stranger'. While this paper does have some good writing in it occasionally , much of the advertising caters to the sexually adventurous. Or whatever. Some very creative people out there I must say. But whatever "alternative", "kinky" etc. sex ideas people might come up with, it's already out there in the rest of the Animal Kingdom.
I imagine a bird dating site. How about these adds;
MACHO MALLARD LOOKING FOR MEEK MAMMA
Male mallard seeking female willing to be abused. S&M all the way, including much thrashing and considerable water boarding. I promise results. Really!

PHAL-GAL SEEKING BOY TOY
Cross-dressing dominatrix shorebird seeking domestic slave. I bring home the bacon, while you do as your'e told. Sitting on my eggs required. Light bondage: I'm tough, but my ropes are soft.

I'm sure there's many other great examples in the bird world.
For the truly adventurous there is always the invertebrate world for examples of truly outrageous behavior! While I don't neccesarily condone any of the following for humans, they do exist in our 'lower life-forms'. Things like post-coital cannibalism, virgin birth, and hermaphrodites. And of course with some of these creatures, sex change is available without surgery!
