whiling away the time in the Brazilian caves they call home with copulation sessions that can last between 40 and 70 hours.

This actually sounds kinda of nightmarish. What made nature birth such a decadent abomination?

Sounds like something that would totally happen if you waved your magic wand and said 'once upon a time' and people would just believe it. Or, y'know, it could have been designed like that.

Why would anyone design that? That sounds like a retarded thing that would happen because random mutations over millions of years made absurd things happen.

Lol. Let me throw in a bunch of extinct versions leading up to what is still around creating the illusion of evolution, just to fuck with them and make them far more likely to choose hedonism and satanic worship.
