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?
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
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, friendo!
I just can't find the paper. One Link to Harvard gives 404. Yay for the censorship of lesbian sheep
I hope the author manages to fix their space key
Yeah, I can't tell if s/he just had trouble finding it, or s/he was trying to... build new words??

Not surprising considering how many human lesbians do the same thing when interested in another.
As a human male I have never felt so strongly that I belong to the opposite sex.
I know this is probably a joke, but you are aware that freezing up and being unable to make a move is a common thing for all genders, right?
Of course. I just thought the comment was very egg_irl-like.
That is an absolutely incredible mental image.
The lesbian black widow spiders have entered the chat...
This is even better than gay swans
oh i'm not being fooled today.
I just think that's really nice.
Sounds like rams could have a similar problem where they both think they want to kill each other
.. but end up having sex?
Yeah, but i won't get into the mechanics of how it all plays out. Ask the scientists for more information
