Sexual Nature

In my daily routine, surfing on the internet, reading news and checking emails, for me to keep in touch with the outside world. Today, an exhibition "Sexual Nature" at the Natural History Museum, London caught my eyes, and I did a bit more searching and I found these video clips in Youtube which I would like to share with your, because I think they show the animal sexual life better than words.

You can follow the links below, and have further exploration:

So, the sexual behaviour doesn't only carry the purpose of maintaining of the family line, but also keep the bonding/social network, sharing food/resources secure. Can the sciencetist tell us do they need solemate as a human being?

According to Wikipedia, soulmate is a "person with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, similarity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or compatibility."

I need a soulmate, luckily I got one who could share a lot of things with me physically, emotioanlly and spiritually. I would combine the sexuality and day-to-day-thing into the physical part (but the sexuality is not only come from the intimacy, it also can be seen seperately like gender preference, identity and sexual developement).

Anyway, how does sexual nature relate to us?

Learn from picok:-
- Self exploration & understanding: find out our beautiful side (sexually and non-sexually) and keep practising

"I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own."
Woody Allen

- Communication: learn how to show off our beauty in a decent way
- Never give up: identify the Mr. Mrs. Right and take ACTION
- Termination: learn how to reject

Learn from hedgehogs:-
- Safe sex: conscious and careful!

Learn from Bonobos:-
And being open to different perferance of sexuality, homosexual, heterosexual, bi-sexual, Elton John said,

"I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats though."

Some may say we are not just an animal, but I think from the similarity and differences, we can learn from them to improve our life.

Cheers!
