JERUSALEM, Israel � javascript siteSearch'Sharon Tendler'; - Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. Last week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.
In a modest ceremony at javascript siteSearch'Dolphin Reef'; - Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a javascript siteSearch'dolphin'; - dolphin . Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring. "It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said yesterday, upon her return to London.Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin. When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection. |

[tongue-in-cheek mode on] This story is disconcerting. I cannot believe that Sharon Tendler would actually name her dolphin husband Cindy! [tongue-in-cheek mode off] |

This is a disgusting story. When they say dolphins make loving partners and enjoy it some peoples motives aren't as innocent as it first appears. The dolphin wont complain but it doesnt make it right.
I would post links but they would probably get deleted. |

(Ketchup:) "This is a disgusting story." How so? What is the problem? If I might venture, are you feeling a bit 'zoophobic' (not defined as fear of visiting the Zoo)? [Serv inserts smiley face.] If so, zoophobia is nothing that a little social engineering, plenty of mass media and some finishing individual therapy won't cure. "The dolphin wont complain but it doesnt make it right." In the relativist, post-modern era, I would think, there is no right and wrong -there is only legal and illegal and those are subject to change. Prepare, then, "oh brave, new world," for interspecies marriage! Serv |

That isn't what i meant.. are her motives as inocent as they sound? Studies have shown that male dolphins get sexually aroused around women. It is no coincidence that male dolphins will flock around female swimmers and can be aggressive towards men..
This is from a diary of a dolphin trainer.. http://www.tomigaya.shibuya.tokyo.jp/lilly/womandolph10x.html - http://www.tomigaya.shibuya.tokyo.jp/lilly/womandolph10x.htm l This is her observations... I wont post any text as it may look vulgar and crass... please also note she is having none of it.

(Colin:) �Maybe {Sharon Tendler} was the princess of whales?� Who recently married the long-lost Dauphin? (Ketchup:) "That isn't what i meant.. are her motives as inocent as they sound?" Even if they aren�t, my above post regarding 'zoophobia' stands (but for what I am not sure). |

(Ketchup:) �I�m scared of spiders, does that count? How ever irrational it may seem.� No, not exactly (but good thinking and I am sorry to hear of your phobia). In this case, the term 'zoophobia' sounds general enough to permit fear of spiders but it is at times rather more specific than that. Please, if you will, think of it this way. For purposes of this discussion, and to narrow it down a bit, a �zoophobe� is opposite to what Wikipedia calls a �zoophile.� I quote Wikipedia below, but bracket my comments:
�Oh brave, new world, that has such people in it!" Anyone for a swim? Serv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastiality |

I misunderstood what you meant... if the thought of sexual acts with animals disgusts and revolts me then I guess that makes me zoophobic... my upbringing teaches me to respect all animals, my upbringing also teaches me that beastiality is wrong on every level. Horses for courses I guess. |

(Ketchup:) " ... my upbringing also teaches me that beastiality is wrong on every level." I do not mean to turn this thread into one of my book reports, but Robert Bork, in his either alarmist or alarming Slouching Towards Gomorrah argues that (I paraphrase) such absolutist and morally loaded concepts as right and wrong are increasingly giving way, in an at best amoral (when not immoral), legally relativistic society (USA), to legal and illegal. Those latter two, as we all know, are prone to change and are not determined by religion but by the courts . I appreciate your response and enjoy talking to you. Best regards, Serv |

That doesn't sound like the sort of book I would read but any way.. you are correct as morals are good but ultimately every thing is governed by law.
Assuming this is factually correct.. though it doesn't cover every country, it is interesting to see that from this list the UK has the toughest laws..
To me it is wrong to others it isn't. To me having sex with an animal is just as bad as having sex with a small child.
Its good talking to you too Serv, it is refreshining. Kind regards. |

I only regret that I was so flipp-ant when first addressing this. What are the chances of anyone developing a relationship with a dolphin? Get a grip! ------------- Tim in Britain |

"I only regret that I was so flipp-ant when first addressing this. What are the chances of anyone developing a relationship with a dolphin? Get a grip! Well, Tim, you were excusably flipp-ant and I will be happy to get a grip when I am finally fin-ished with this discussion. At this rate, as I see it, the impulse toward the final legal recognition of interspecies marriage, at least within secular societies, will not, I predict, be slowed by the fact that one�s chances with a dolphin are next to null. I grant that there might be flaws in my logic here, but, for that matter, my chances (for marriage) with Greta Sacchi are none too favorable either!
I depart this conversation for now.
"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
