A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.

Oh, to be a pig...!!! LOL

this is too far fetched even for me. and i'm
just a 16 year old dude.

Yeah, how they determined that? Did they acutally observed a pig orgasming for 30 minutes?

Humans and primates are the only creatures that enjoy sex, the pig can orgasm for as long as it likes but I doubt she's having any fun

Well according to the boar it was 30 minutes. However the Sow claims she never got hers and his only lasted 3 minutes.

When asked about this the boar said "I got mine and that's all that matters..."

I'd like to interject at this point , in my experience as a Pork production technician . Of which I have a very detailed 3 months worth , I never once saw a Sow or a Boar orgasm for 30 minutes infact the whole deed lasts aprox 10 minutes and I'm not really sure the Sow even notices anything . However Sows do respond to foreplay ....

So much for rednecks going up into space

It could be true about the pig haven sex for 30 minutes? Because I was watching T.V. not long ago I think it was Discovery Channel or Wildlife Channel, to where this somekind of rodent into Aust. will go without eatting, drinking, and maybe sleep? and run around to find every female of it's kind and have (sex) over and over again with all the female's it can find and then will "Die" there of. And the host of that program even said, "Death By Sex". Which the program was about other thing's too and not about a dirty minded rodent running all over to pork all the female's it can find until it die's. I did laugh my butt off when I saw it anyways as well thought of if that happened to human male's? Then I guess the human female's would rule the world after all and Thank God, human male's aren't that horny!! LOL
