When b*tches have orgasms
Jul 21, 2011
No, seriously. I found a study that examines what happens when female dogs reach climax, compared to their human counterparts. I’m pretty shocked at the fact that this study exists, but even more shocked at the poor taste and overall hilariousness of it.

In fact,...
