Do you think that animals can give consent?

  • Your first paragraph was very strong, but I must refute your claim that animals do not feel pleasure during sex. Scientifically speaking, there is no understanding of whether or not other animals feel pleasure or not whilst mating. It has been assumed that most animals don't due to only a select few, including humans, arbitrarily seeking out sex. While most animals don't voluntarily seek out sex for the sake of pleasure, and instead follow hormonal cycles, it is unknown if the intercourse resulting from such cycles is pleasurable or not.

    • Did you read my reply to Dom180? If so, then you'd have read the part about ALL female mammals possessing a clitoris.....which is the only organ that has ONE function. SEXUAL PLEASURE! If a female animal was incapable of feeling pleasure during sex, then why do they have a clitoris? Pretty logical.....if you have a logical mind. As far as a male feeling pleasure? Well, since it takes an orgasm to ejaculate.....once again logic strikes (;->)

      There is nothing magical or mystical about this nor does it take some sort of "experimental proof"....animals DO feel pleasure from sex and therefore can decide whether to engage in that behavior.
