They practice mating rituals similar to animals that reproduce sexually, and the ritual triggers parthenogenic reproduction. <BR/><BR/>I believe the sexual differences in male and female are very different than the map we're given in this culture. I think about sex as much as most men, but my definition of sex would differ a great deal Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074112467402675609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11874540.post-1155226612850188952006-08-10T10:16:00.000-06:002006-08-10T10:16:00.000-06:00um, stray thought.
