*facepalm* Wouldn't that just be silly.

It would probably be hilarious if the reason that I feel sexually submissive to my ideal male mate, and sexually dominant to my ideal female mate is because of the chickens.

Have you ever watched chickens having sex? The rooster trips over his wing in a courtship dance, putting his wing down and sidling over to the hen of his fancy. If she's feeling receptive, she freezes in place, wings spread ever so slightly, so it's painfully obvious that he's supposed to hop on top and do his thing.

As far as I'd seen, the only chickens who might be termed 'bisexual' had been older hens, more dominant ones, who took to crowing in their old age, and may have occasionally tripped over their wings at less-prominent hens. (Calamity, the teenage rooster, had been so horny that he would on occasion fuck a stump. That chick was a problem and a misfit; it rarely does well to raise a chick, especially one who should be an alpha rooster, by himself with little socialization and then introduce him to an established society.)

I learned so much about how to interact with others from watching chickens. When a rooster wants a hen, he will trip over his wing at her; the hen will either walk off, knock him on the noggin with her beak, or squat submissively for him. So, in order for chickens to successfully have sex, the hen has to be submissive (or somewhat squished).

I always identified more with the dominant hens, treating them as equals and the submissive hens like children.


If substantial ideas about sexuality are formed before the age of ten... heh.

well there's that, but maybe the chicken has more control by virtue of being submissive; rooster either gets a concussion or gets laid depending on the whimsy of the female bird, am I right?

good to know.
