Dear fishonabike: I find it hard to believe that even in the Middle Ages people were
ignorant enough to think any animal had it sex glands in its head. I have read of
spermaceti candles. But no semen was ever like that.
And for all their marine adaptations, whales are descendants of land animals,
and their genitals are still closely analogous to their ancestors. The bull whales
may have sex on their ?ninds" but no semen in their noses! Incidentally, imagine
the females giving birth without the young drowning!
Come to think of it, the whales had to invent the missionary position before
there were any missionaries. They could not outdo the turtles.
