Question About Animal Sex?!?

Question

We all know how humans have sex, but how do animals have sex? What about a bird, or a horse? Does it work the same way?

Answer 1

I certainly hope you are in school and are there every day because these things are covered in class. Birds don't have sex; they lay eggs. I don't know how old you are; it's apparent you are young and it's your parent's job to see that you learn these facts, not from people on a web site. Tell your parents what you want to know. Here's a site for you to go on and read what one school's plan is for every age group.

Human development classes in are taught in the grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12. Teachers use a variety of resources to support the curriculum and there is not a particular “program” that is exclusively used.
In grades 4, 5, and 9, parents are invited to attend an information evening to review the human development curriculum. The topics regarding human development classes for grades 5-8 are sent home with students. The letter explains the content of the classes and how a parent can contact a teacher if they have questions or concerns. Parents are required to return a form indicating they have reviewed what will be taught.
Below is a brief description of what is taught at each level. Parents are welcome to come in at any time to view materials and discuss the information covered in class.

Grade 4
Boys and girls are taught separately in two 50-minute classes. Students learn about the changes that go on in their bodies and how to maintain optimal health through exercise, hygiene, sleep, and good nutrition. The films shown to Grade 4 students were chosen five years ago by parents after a parent preview night. All parents are mailed an invitation to a parent pre-view meeting and an outline of the curriculum.

Grade 5
Boys and girls are taught separately in three 50-minute classes. Both male and female growth changes are reviewed in each group. The topics covered include a discussion about reproduction and how it occurs. Parents are invited via a letter home to attend a preview meeting where the curriculum is discussed, the movie is previewed, and written handouts are shared. The mailed letter includes an outline of the curriculum.

Grade 6
The 6th grade curriculum addresses sexuality as it pertains to its role in advertising and the media. The curriculum is discussed at open house and an outline that includes all of the units is sent home. Students meet for five 45-minute classes.

Grade 7 & 8
The focus of the curriculum is to review the units taught in Grades 4, 5 and 6. Teachers do not present birth control information but students most often have questions about birth control that teachers will answer.

Students in the 7th grade cover the topic of HIV/AIDS. Students learn about how the immune system fights infections and how the HIV virus destroys a healthy immune system. Students study the symptoms of the disease, prevention, and transmission. In addition, the impact that HIV/AIDS has on cultures around the world is also part of the curriculum. Students meet for seven 45-minute classes.

Students in the 8th grade cover Sexually Transmitted Diseases and expand on information covered in previous grades. Students learn about many different diseases, prevention and transmission. Students discuss making good decisions and being responsible for their actions. Students meet for seven 45-minute classes.

Grade 9
Students take one full year of health science. The curriculum includes a review of human growth, reproduction, sexually transmitted diseases, and birth control. Students do research and present information to the class regarding one of the twelve forms of birth control. Condoms are passed around for students to examine. The curriculum is discussed during open house. In addition, a letter is sent in advance to parents/guardians about the sexuality unit soliciting parental questions or concerns. This year a parent preview will be held in the evening prior to the sexuality unit. Parents will be invited via newsletter to attend.

Grade 12
Students take 1/2 year of health science class. This curriculum includes a review of reproduction, birth control, and sexually transmitted diseases. Course content is reviewed with parents/guardians during open house.

What happens when students seek out counseling on this subject from nurses, counselors and social workers?
When students come to nurses, counselors and/or social workers with questions about human development, they are encouraged to talk directly with their parents about the subject. Nurses, guidance counselors and social workers will work with students to facilitate those conversations with parents. When it is appropriate students are given information about outside agencies.


Now, back to me answering your question:
And believe it or not, in this day and time, a lot of teens and 20 somethings don't know how humans reproduce. They've listened to the wrong people with the wrong facts and don't even know the names of their reproductive organs. Many end up pregnant due to not knowing. Education is the answer to finding out the correct answers to all your questions. Ask your mom if you can go the library to check out books on this subject, but you need to involve your parents. You are apparently, I hope, a minor, and you should show your mom this question so she'll know how to help you.

Answer 2

lol quotes from blood hound gang song - (8) Today we are going to talk about the act of mating, however there are several very important differences between humans and animals that you should know about (8) - yes it does work the same way

Most four legged animals do it doggy style - so the dog really knows it stuff - and should be king of the animal kingdom, most animals dogs, cats, and horses just take their partner from behind while standing up on two hind legs - woohoo - birds lay eggs - watch the discovery channel.

Answer 3

Yeah it works the same way, except there are differences. For example, cats have barbs on their man-parts, that cut the girl cat when they pull out. I used to think that dad chickens had to peck a hole into the eggs before they can fertilize them, but now it seems it's pretty much the same for them too.

Answer 4

Yeah every mammal needs to have another member of the opposite sex and their sex organs to get impregnanted

Answer 5

No. Birds do it with a fly-by motion. Horses use large rubber hoses.

Answer 6

yeah unless its a hermaphroditic animal or an asexual reproducing animal...asexual meaning an egg is fertilized outside of the body of the animal via water or land

Answer 7

ok first not a silly questions. horses etc same way we do..........birds very funny i have no answer. can anyone answer this if you get no answer google it

Answer 8

Yep. Each according to their physical limitations (i.e., birds have no hands).

Answer 9

Why not watch them instead of asking us? Do you expect us to explain the process in detail?

Answer 10

Look out your window, or visit a farm. I can't believe you're asking this question, you need to get out more.
