It's rutting season in the Serengeti as two antelope have joined hundreds of other topi to spar for sex. The horny pair face off, charge and drop to their front knees as they lock their lyrate antlers, heads wedged against the ground in a vicious stalemate. The more dominant topi maximizes a slight size advantage and shoves the other backward along the ground. With the ignominy of a sumo wrestler expelled from the ring, the loser scuttles back into the herd, shaking its head, leaving the victor free to claim the prize – sex with the prime bull. These armed and aggressive rivals aren’t males fighting over cows. They’re females dueling over the top topi’s sperm. Up to 100 males gather in one area and mark out small adjoining territories using their dung, a surprisingly versatile material that creates a signature scent boundary between rivals. Females all come into oestrus for just one day of the year. This short fertility window leads to a 24/hr frenzy of sexual activity as each female mates with 4-12 males. As the females shop for sex, rejected males are not above resorting to underhand tactics to win their attention. If a female leaves his territory unmated, a scorned male will often sound an alarm call, a loud snort that signals a hyena or lion is nearby. This alert encourages the exiting female to linger longer in the pretender’s territory for safety. She often winds up being mounted by the fraudster while she waits. While some bulls must lie to get laid, others fight off females, and all shagged out. The top bulls command terrain at the centre of the lek, and these studs have females battling over their finite seminal reserves. Some pushy cows even go so far as to charge top studs while mounting other females. This brazen tactic doesn’t always pay off. Disrupted males will often counter-attack belligerent females and rebuff their advances, especially if they’ve mated with them already. This scenario of choosy males and competitive females reverses the traditional sex roles predicted by Darwin’s theory of sexual selection. Still, it may be far more widespread now that our eyes are open to it. Catch my column for the BBC Wildlife Magazine

Shrimp genders can be determined by the length of their upward-pointing antennae: exceptionally long ones indicate males, while shorter ones suggest females. Check out our entire blog article along with sexing chart for more details here: https://bit.ly/3SZZdAS

My toxic trait: my toxic trait is judging people who judge people for liking pineapples on pizza. 🍍🍕 😎 Live a little and stop getting worked over minuscule matters that don’t matter. Besides, life is about THE LITTLE THINGS. Who cares when other people have on their pizzas, right? Gimme all the pineapples. Actually it’s even better because that means we don’t have to share! Pineapple on pizza is a metaphor for: → breaking out of the mould → not conforming to the majority → not believing there’s a right / wrong way to do things → end black and white thinking 🚫 Hating pineapples on pizza is like arguing over politics, religion, birth control, vaccines, remote work, and gun rights. Sigh. Do you agree? 😆 #peakperformers #uncomfortabletruths #highachievers #mindset #onelifetolive ps: just kidding— I don't hate you if you hate pineapples on pizza! 💙 The only person I’d judge is my life partner because you become the average of your immediate environment.

Effective communication delivery indeed. How you see yourself shouldn’t and can’t be defined by what anyone other than you, feel. Your autonomy and sense of self is not dependent on what others think. Whomever says otherwise is attempting to gain control and self validate by trying to bring others down. In the end, truth wins. Your truth. #selfawareness #control #power #leadershipdevelopment #wellness

Now that I am in sexual health wellness, every day feels like 'kalyug!!'. #justexaggerating But have you heard of these Genz sexual slangs yet? 1️⃣ Sloppy Toppy: Oral sexual intercourse with lots of saliva. It’s not just about technique; it’s an art form in Gen Z’s dating scene. 2️⃣ Cookie-jarring: Dating multiple people simultaneously, like storing options in a cookie jar. It's all about keeping your romantic options open in the modern dating world. 3️⃣ Woke Fishing: Ever met someone who talks the talk of social justice but doesn’t walk the walk? That’s woke fishing—using social causes as a dating strategy rather than genuine belief. 4️⃣ Roughing: Casual, non-committal sexual activities. It’s about exploring without strings attached in today's evolving sexual landscape. How many of these terms did you know? Tell me in the comments below! 🌟 Me - 0 P.S - This is the only fishing I know (check image)

"Online child predators are continually using unique and clever tactics to get in touch with children. They are also communicating with each other to learn better ways to identify victims’ vulnerabilities to create trust with them online. This is what we call grooming. “Predators cast a wide net to find a vulnerable child to groom, it’s not a matter of if your child iscontacted by a predator, it’s when,” says CRC’s Founder, Carly Yoost. As parents it is important to not only to open up discussion with your children about the dangers of grooming behaviors, but also know the signs so you can intercept and end the communication. The 7 P’s of Grooming Praise (Flattery) – This can look as innocent as “you are really pretty/handsome I’d love to see more of you.” They will play into the child denying being pretty, acting shy in response and having self-esteem vulnerabilities. Many times, when I would work undercover chat investigations, I would receive flattery from predators just seeing my profile picture which was only an image of my eye with a little bit of my bangs. They would ask for more pictures after learning I was only 13-years-old. Precocious Conversation – This is a way to feel out the child and see if they are interested. The conversation will start out asking if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, if they’ve ever kissed and then if they’ve done more. If the child reveals personal details about past relationships, then the predator has started the process of gaining their trust. The escalation may lead to asking them what the child is wearing, looking to see if the child will be willing to divulge. This may lead to conversation about masturbation, sexual contact, or sharing links to pornography or child sexual abuse material. Photo sharing – As the predator feels out the child’s responses to the above topics they will either first send a naked image to the child to gauge interest in sexual talk or contact. They might ask the child to send naked images of themselves. Most children want reassurance that they are beautiful with and without clothes on to feel better about themselves, not realizing that it’s causing them harm"...
