when the swamp is a rockin...

So, I recently found myself in a group of folks debating whether alligators have penises and whether they have sex. What? Don't pretend like you haven't had that conversation with your friends. Anyhow, I was pretty sure that I had seen alligators mating at some point but couldn't place where/when I would have seen that. Last night I realized why I had a memory of seeing alligator sex and thought you'd be amused by the story. Here goes:

My freshman year of college I participated in a psych study for a senior psych major I knew. Her thesis was about the effect of watching porn on people or women's (can't remember) body image. I basically participated because I knew the girl who was doing the study, but also in the back of my head I was like, bonus "legitimate" reason to watch porn. Unfortunately for my 18 year old curiosity, but fortunately for this story I was placed in the control group and we watched a nature video about, you guessed it, alligators and mating. I think that the only way my body image was changed was to feel better about my skin.

I just googled alligator sex and it turns out that there's a drink called sex with an alligator (recipe below), it looks disgusting but I do like the way that they spell raspberry in the directions. Once I refined my search I learned that as I suspected, alligators do have penises (and females have clitorises - not sure on plural for that). So, that's that. I'm sure this wasn't weighing heavily on you, but just in case...

I guess now folks might be finding their way to this site by googling alligator sex. What can I say but welcome, and I'm guessing this isn't exactly what you were hoping to find.
