Today we are going to explore animal sexuality in its incredible morphological diversity: sound, double or even detachable penis, giant clitoris, hermaphroditism ... All organs are in nature and in direct connection with a multitude of sexual practices: fellatio, cunnilingus, transsexuality, homosexuality but also rape or chemical castration, masturbation and orgasm ... Because pleasure can also be there ... Why and how to explain such sexual biodiversity, as fascinating as it is disconcerting?
Why such a variability of forms and practices?
