Do female cats enjoy sex?

[Bebeslut]

Off the wall, I know, but I always wondered, given the godawful noise they make.

Cat owners?

 

[JackVettriano]

Dont Know?

I have a cat but I have never fucked her.

I do like to lick a pussy though

 

[Quinn71]

I thought the noise-making was always an affirmation of how good the sex is. Maybe thats just the case for female humans.

 

[TxRad]

Both of mine are female and fixed so i have no idea.

The feline penis is barbed. Use your imagination.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/1volupturary_manque/male-cat-penis-spines.jpg

As bear's picture shows, there are tiny barbs on a male cat's penis. So sex hurts, a lot, if you're a female cat.

But they can't ovulate without the stimulus of those barbs.

 

[TxRad]

So, cat are weird. What's news about that?

 

[rgraham666]

I still love 'em.

yes, i think female cat and dogs 'enjoy' sex, if that's the right word, even if there is some pain [which we don't know] for the female cats.

i think we have to assume that mating occurs, in mammals, because for both sides, there is some payoff/satisfaction/[maybe]pleasure, except where the female is simply overcome. for lots of species, including tame and wild 'cats', the female is NOT easily done against her wishes.

indeed one might go further. it's the female human's enjoyment of sex which is 'optional'. because she's able to look forward to children, she can put up with it, if she chooses. the female mammal, i don't think, has this foresight-ability, hence there must be something in the act itself. ms felina cannot do as Queen Victoria is said to have suggested.

My female Siamese made noise BEFORE sex (wanting it), not during.

We lived in one townhouse with a three-story stairhall in the center of it, and our female Siamese would sit at the bottom and cry up the stairwell when she wanted sex and the sound would reverberate. (Our male, having been fixed, couldn't do a thing for her.) The neighbors called us about our crying baby.

So do I

But why do I suddenly have this visual of a female cat in a black leather jumpsuit with holes for the nipples and a black snake whip?

Humans are the only animals on the planet who have sex just for the "enjoyment" of it. Recreational sex does not exist in the other species.

Are you sure? A friend of mine has a German Shepard that will hump anything at any time. He sure seems to enjoy it.

Hmm but is that sex or just masturbation? LMFAO!

I don't believe this is really true. I think it's more of an enduring myth that's fueled by another of our species' unique traits, arrogance. We learn new things about animals every day, I think it's ludicrous to assume that we understand the inner workings of the minds of every single species on the planet, when we barely have an inkling as to how the human mind works itself.

Then there are dolphins. The horniest little devils in the oceans.

Clearly I need to reconsider the issue...hahahaha

One of the revelations from Jane Goodall and others' work with primate (apes, chimps, monkeys, etc.) research is that many primate species also engage in recreational sex, as another social bonding tool within the pack.

Recent research is suggesting that sea mammals of some species of whales, dolphins/porpoises, etc) also engage in recreational sex outside of the breeding cycle.

Bonobos. Bonobos are the horniest things that breathe. Their entire social life is made up of sex. F/M sex, M/M sex, F/F sex . . . they use it as interpersonal lubricant to maintain hierarchies, reduce tension, you name it.

Gee, thinking about it, maybe in my next life . . .

I had the pig with it's thirty minute orgasm at the top of my list. Now I have to rethink the whole thing.

Quality, Quantity.

Decisions, decisions.

I asked one cat who had one litter of kittens before she was fixed.

She said it did hurt, but it's the kind of hurt you want so bad.

 

[Bebeslut]

According to the idea of the Selfish Gene, I don't think it's necessary for a species to enjoy sex -- tho I have heard the bonobos do.

It's only necessary that the gene for engaging in sex be present in the species; otherwise, of course, the species would die out.

Hmmm, I guess I could have thought of that before posting the question, but what the heck, it's fun to see what everybody else thinks.

The 'Selfish Gene' is twaddle. Dawkins is an ass who doesn't even understand the evolutionary mechanisms he worships. No one has ever pinpointed anything that might even remotely be described as a selfish gene or a gene for engaging in sex. Things are much more subtle than that. But obviously female cats are programmed to behave in a manner that results in kittens. Whether they actually enjoy the process cannot be determined at this time but I have my doubts.

Do female cats enjoy sex?

I don't know. Maybe Cloudy will tell you in return for a bowl of milk.
