This was at the zoo in Syracuse. I doubt they let the poor things go on any toots.

To find out what molecules dampen down the erection, Prestwich and his team let male elephants sniff a tagged version of the pheromone. When they scooped up mucus from the elephants' trunks and extracted the pheromone,....

Ah, cocktail party conversation...
"What do you do for a living?"
"I give bull elephants erotic sniff tests and scoop their mucus."

I, too, was privy to a elephant showing at a zoo, and besides the amazing size(nearly three feet in length), what impressed me was how fast he put it away. after urinating a stream a fire-plug would be proud of, it basically re-absorbed itself in a matter of a few seconds. he couldn't just tuck it in his shorts now, could he?

Reminds me a bit of that ancient joke about the elephant that escaped from a circus train wreck in a small rural town in mid America.
The old lady looked out her window and saw the beast in her garden. Never having seen an elephant before, she called the sheriff and reported that the huge creature was destroying her cabbage patch, ripping out her cabbages one by one with its tail.
"And," she shrieked, "you'll never guess where he's stuffing them.!"

de-arouse

I like this coinage, Cap!

You could say Loreena Bobbitt de-aroused her husband.

(and, Max...you see what a friendly nudge can do for an "AUGHT"?)

Yes I do - it confirmed that everybody hates me and that no one will respond to my posts, but only to those made by others. Life? Don't talk to me about life!

elephant schmelephant - when it comes to wedding tackle that is.

You ain't seen nothing until you've seen a whale in action - preferably on video coz close by on the ocean is NOT the place to be. We're talking 14 foot (wassat - 4 something metres?) prehensile winkles that leave the lady no chance of avoidance. (Difficult when you've got no legs to cross I guess.) The intended usually rolls on her back to remove the target area from the scene. He rolls on his back alongside and Frees Willie. It somehow searches out the right place (writhing like a seriously large snake) and - well, you know the rest. Wow.

yes, to YART, whales have bones,(2 to 3 meters long) that connect to muscle, to help them move themselves into position...the bones also help keep it 'up'-- but then when i first posted that, the more knowledgable of us pointed that many animals have bones to maintain a boner' and primates were unusual that they didn't!

Actually, I believe that even most primates do. The absence of one places the male homo sapien in a very select group indeed. Even though the male gorilla is not as well-endowed as his human counterpart, he has a penile bone, while the human does not.
