The Desert Sun today took a break from posting news (usually accompanied by loud mattress store pre-roll videos) to tell an erotic tale involving an orgy of bighorn sheep.
The highlights (?) of James Cornett’s first-person account of bighorn sexy time are below. Unlike most erotic stories on the internet, the newspaper did not post a warning for readers. But, I will: Those not up for reading about hot bighorn-on-bighorn action might want to just click here instead.
That said, here goes the steamy, carnal tale:
Meanwhile, a hundred or so feet away from the action, an immature male is romancing a lone ewe. He successfully mounts her for a whopping 6 seconds. However, none of the fully mature rams are at all interested in this female. I assume she is not in estrus and so the adolescent male’s efforts at procreation are unlikely to result in anything other than a memorable encounter.
Six seconds is pretty exact. Did Cornett time it? And sure, that bighorn male will never forget this, I suppose. But wait, there is much more:
The desired female has now made a bolt between other females and the throng of males appears briefly confused. A large ram mounts a female but quickly disembarks, presumably because he senses she is not, at the moment, in estrus. He curls his lips backward and upward and smells the ewes to find which one is physiologically ready to procreate. He immediately realizes he has been fooled and gallops out of the herd to quickly catch up to the fertile female. The rest of the rams immediately follow the one in the know.
This really is quite descriptive, wouldn’t you say?
The fertile female runs away but then stops allowing the group of rams to catch up. I wonder if she is really serious about escape. The first male to reach her immediately attempts to mount her but she successively jumps downward amongst the rocks then stops again. The rams mounts her again only to be butted off by a rival male.
That is a lot of mounting – probably more than you ever dreamt you would read on the Desert Sun or really any website today (well, at least while not in incognito mode).
