Maybe it's because we are breeders that we see it as more clinical, for lack of a better word. I could not participate in the mating if I looked at it as humorous or even sexual.
It's like your OBGYN. Do you want them thinking of sex or snickering when they are doing your pap test?
If I saw it as humorous, I would have to laugh, if I saw it as sexual it would be like ewwww!!. so my mind is trained to look at it as a job, something that has to be done. Like cleaning up poopie butts it's part of the job. |
I am sorry but mating is a sexual thing. Mating of dogs is basically two dogs having sex. Sex is a beautiful thing, it is a gift. Animals are not hung up about it, only some humans are. Animals feel no shame about sex, they feel no shame about nudity, they feel no shame about touching any part of their bodies. Their body fluids are not gross to them. Children feel no shame about their nudity nor touching their bodies. Adults teach them to feel shame and society teaches them to feel shame. Sex is a gift not only for reproduction but to also give us pleasure.
Sex and mating is not ewwwww!!!, it is not a job to be done. It is a gift to give us pleasure and new life. It is perhaps one of the few miracles that we can experience in this life.
I do not appreciate my dog humping my leg, if he did I would make him stop but if my furkids want to hump each other or their stuffed toys, I really do not care and if I thought about it, who am I to tell them that it is wrong.
I taught my children from the time they were young that sex was a beautiful and natural part of life. I am sorry for people that find it shameful or are hung up about it.
Our dogs try very hard to fit into the human world but they are still dogs. They will lick and they will hump. It is a normal and natural part of doggy life. Sex is not funny, however watching a poor little doggy taking out his sexual frustrations on an inanimate object is kind of humorous. We laugh because of their innocence and their lack of inhibitions.
And by the way, my daughter is an OBGYN, doctors are just people, they think and laugh about things just the same as anyone else (and you wouldn't believe some of the things I have heard her say about what happens at work).
