Males do some pretty disgusting and unromantic things from time to time. No doubt females do, too.... such as eating the head of the male while, or just before, he impregnates her.
Infant cockroaches, and infant koalas eat their mother's waste. And one type of infant spiders eat their mothers.
When it is a matter of survival, one does what is necessary, no matter how gross.
That was gross!
Moreover, it's not something that inspires me to write a scene for a romance. I just cannot imagine any heroine wanting to kiss him for any reason under the sun any time soon after that.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the nearest object of great attraction to flies, in order to have heard the camera crew's remarks during filming. Unlike SURVIVORMAN, who was filming his own, original series, in Africa during February/March --and who carries 50lbs of his own, self-operated filming equipment--, "Bear" Grylls has a cameraman with him.
Judging by the quality of the video, I'd guess that the cameraman was shaking with laughter.
Males are better equipped to carry out this survival trick. There is a long tradition of unspeakable things that thirsty men will drink. Warm beer. "The stale of horses" to quote from one of Shakespeare's plays with Roman heroes. "Goat's" in a recent film about a Beerfest (involving competitive drinking).
I wonder what kind of toast would be appropriate?
Here's looking at you?
Bottoms up?
Your very good health!
All the best,
Rowena
