Would you have sex with a head on a stick?

I’m hoping you answered no to that question — it was not something I had ever considered asking — until I went down a strange rabbit hole today.

I was researching for an upcoming article, and one of the studies I was reading took me in an unusual direction. It was about the sexual behavior of male turkeys — which we shall come to.

From the turkey study, I was drawn into a world of weird and wonderful sex studies. Highly educated academics with a string of letters after their names invested time and money into the most peculiar studies. I was struggling to see the benefits of such a study.

But I don’t like seeing time or money go to waste, so I thought I would look at some of these sex studies and see what we can learn from them.

Hopefully, these insights can improve our sex lives somehow — even turkey heads on a stick.
