This study actually came out earlier this month, but if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!
A study of short-nosed fruit bats living in south-east Asia revealed that female bats give head to their male partners while bumping uglies. In addition, it was noted that pairs had sex for a longer period of time when the females fellated their male partners.
Imagine that, foreplay leading to more time fucking! Now, if only the men would reciprocate….
Via NewScientist:
Min Tan of the Guangdong Entomological Institute in Guangzhou, China, and colleagues captured 30 male and 30 female short-nosed fruit bats in Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou City and observed their mating behaviour in enclosures.
The bats copulate dorso-ventrally, with the male mounting the female from behind. During mating, the females reached over to lick the base of the male’s penis in 14 of the 20 pairs that copulated.
The tip of the penis had already penetrated the female’s vagina, and the males did not withdraw when the female licked the base of the penis.
Both the duration of an individual copulation, and the overall time a mating pair spent copulating, were increased if the female performed fellatio.
