BEWARE OF MONKEYS WANKING

On Mumsnet, the popular discussion forum and community blog, a parent asks AIBU (Am I Being Unreasonable) to request the zoo she visited with her child to put warning signs up for visitors. The problem? Primates becoming intimate with branches, and tortoises making (presumably slow) sexylove, in full uninhibited view of children. 500 replies in, and the consensus (amongst anecdotes of other animals rutting like, well, animals) is unsurprising.

I'm reminded of this Louis CK quote (the quote is more specifically about homosexuality/gay-marriage), but it is very appropriate to this conversation:
“It doesn't have any effect on your life. What do you care?! People try to talk about it like it's a social issue. Like when you see someone stand up on a talk show and say, "How am I supposed to explain to my children that two men are getting married?... I dunno. It's your shitty kid. You fuckin' tell 'em. Why is that anyone else's problem? Two guys are in LOVE and they can't get married because you don't want to talk to your ugly child for five fuckin' minutes?”posted by Fizz at 3:21 PM on August 22, 2016 [2 favorites]

What is DS and DS2? I'm assuming a variation on DC (Dear Child?)
Anyway what an interesting thread. I appreciate the glimpse into a community I have no knowledge or engagement with.

How old is her child? Because she mentions it having taken it years to convince her youngest son that he can only play with himself in private, and, uh--how... how does it take that long to teach a kid about public/private distinctions?

Beware of the wanking monkeys and fucking tortoises
It's no penis beaker, but still an amusing thread full of animals doing it like animals.

guns are good, sex is bad.
Zardoz would beg to differ.
