I'm glad the war on sex hasn't spread to include dog sex,* or else there'd be a movement to have the government ban the sexual dog dummies that Glenn Reynolds linked earlier.

While their use as a novelty or toy seems new, sex "dummies" of various sorts have been used in artificial insemination for years. For example, here's a mobile dummy cow:

Why that would turn on a bull, I don't know. The only bull I have is a pit bull, and I doubt Coco would have anything to do with it. (Of course, she does occasionally hump her blanket when she gets excited, and I don't know what she sees in that. Female dogs do engage humping activity, and I'm not convinced it's necessarily sexual. Such behavior is common, and she may be trying to dominate her blanket.)

At the risk of going into unnecessary detail, I think it's fair to point out that if the goal is to get your dog to produce semen (whether as a sexual release or not), you don't need a dummy at all.

As this video demonstrates, you can do it manually:

Doing that manually might seem like a messy chore to some, so I think some breeders might be delighted with the new "hands off" dummy that Glenn was nice enough to link. (I realize that Glenn expressed some squeamishness about the "easy-to-clean reservoir," but I think breeders would be delighted by the convenience of it.)

But the bottom line here is that I'm 100% in favor of sexual freedom for dogs, and (for the umpteenth time) the government better keep its sticky hands off my dog's genitalia!

* Perhaps the war on sex does include dog sex, if the huge mandatory spay and neuter movement is any indication. But so far at least, I have not seen an organized attempt to deny the few remaining unneutered dogs out there a little fun. So, go buy your dog a sex toy while you can. Before they close the "loophole."
