I’m not going to criticize anyone for meat-eating or bestiality. Meat is delicious, and no hippie can ever convince me to part with it. But I also recognize that once I’ve allowed the morality of eating dead animals, I have to concede the morality of fucking live ones. After all, would you rather be fucked, or eaten? Exactly.
As the famous philosopher Peter Singer put it, “We copulate, as animals do. They have penises and vaginas, as we do, and the fact that the vagina of a calf can be sexually satisfying to a man shows how similar these organs are.”
Give the man some credit. I’m not about to put my penis anywhere near a calf vagina, but I also understand how lonely it gets in parts of, say, Iowa. According to the most authoritative sex survey, 8% of men and 3.5% of women have been lonely enough to mount, or be mounted by, one of our animal cousins at least once. Fucking, like eating, is a natural drive.
But you know where I draw the line? Fucking, then eating. Bioethicist Leon Kass has spoken of “the wisdom of repugnance” — which means, in layman’s terms, that if something sounds fucking disgusting, it is probably fucking wrong. And “fucking wrong” is exactly the phrase that jumped to mind when I read an article called “The Cook, the Beast, the Vice and its Lover” in a Japanese newspaper:
A disgusting and twisted restaurant in the Tokyo entertainment district of Roppongi is enticing warped rich folk with the opportunity to figuratively have their cake and eat it, too — with animals, according to Jitsuwa Knuckles. [Btw, awesomest reporter name ever.]
Roppongi's bestiality restaurant is being regarded by its main nouveau riche patronage of young company presidents and venture capitalists as a decadent practice only possible among the wealthy.
An informer named only M tells the paper how she was invited into the basement restaurant by a wealthy lawyer:
“After we got into the main restaurant, an employee escorted us down to the basement,” M says. “The walls were pitch black and the floor covered in a blood red carpet, so I guess the place must be a refurbished S&M club.”
Once the customer feels prepared, they will be presented with beast of their choice. In the lawyer's case, it was a sow.
Once the lawyer had finished porking the pig, the couple returned to the first floor and sat at a table to dine. M says she was totally shocked when staff members carried in roast pork — made of the same sow the lawyer had earlier been with.
“I was about to vomit,” M says. “It was the same pig that had been squealing just moments before. Now, it had been roasted whole. I managed to avoid eating it by only having salad.”
I don’t even know what to say. I’m not even going to make the mandatory “porking your pork” joke. I can only imagine that a restaurant like that provides the ultimate thrill in sadism, because even if you enjoy physically hurting someone during sex, even if you plan on killing them afterwards and dumping them in the river, it’s not very often that you get to lean over and snarl into the ear of your unwilling partner: “Take it, bitch — and afterwards, I’m going to fucking eat you. With a side of couscousssssssss.” Maybe it sounds sexier in Japanese.
I’m just going to throw this out there: Japan is the country that has given us tentacle-rape porn, used-schoolgirl-panty vending machines, and Hello Kitty. It is also, incidentally, the only country that has ever suffered nuclear warfare.
Which leads me to what I’m going to call Derrick’s Law of International Relations. Either nuke a country off the face of the Earth, rendering it a permanently uninhabitable, radiation-strewn wasteland — or don’t even bother trying.
But do not — do not — conduct half-assed nuclear war. In all of human history, there is a 100% correlation between half-assed nuclear war and disgusting sexuality (including bestiality restaurants). When you pussy out of nuclear destruction, you’re not only victimizing the people of your target nation. You’re victimizing everyone else who’s forced to hear about the pork-fucking exploits of those people’s descendants for the next century.
