      I may just be a humble penis operator, so excuse the ignorance, but don’t they make toys for this situation? Something the sheep lack?

        A different interpretation: a “bottom” doesn’t like to play the penetrative role in sex, and so two bottoms become frustrated in a sexual scenario with each other.

        I’m also just a penis operator, but the joke to me is that neither of them is capable of initiating anything, just waiting for the topper

    Not surprising considering how many human lesbians do the same thing when interested in another.

      The joke maybe is that lesbians are shy and often do nothing if they think someone is cute. Just like standing still.

    I’m a big fan of Doctorov , but I’m this case I would like a citation.

    I’m making interested to see how the gender of the ewes was determined. I mean if the indicator of sexual attraction is indistinguishable from normal behavior: standing still how could one prove the sheep to be lesbian?

      I suppose he should have said “gay ewes would be hobbled” and lesbian sheep would be incapable of coupling up".

      His quote shows that people say there’s no way of knowing one way or another, like you say, but Doctorow changed the language to be a bit more suggestive of certainty that the phenomenon exists.

        I have read through a couple of articles that I could relate to the Journal article. Most focus really heavily on the male sexual expression. I could read nothing about female still behavior.

        That isn’t strange, researchers focus mainly on the male sexual aspect, as that’s where the money is for sheep farmers.

        I am however still searching for the quote about female sexuality, I can’t find it in Perkins, nor Stormshak’s work.
