PET AIDS
|
|||
|
--------
|
|||
|
One of the weirdest spinoffs of my recent trip to Russia was
|
|||
|
the news about AIDS in household pets, cats and dogs. The Soviets
|
|||
|
seem to have discovered it first and announced it to other
|
|||
|
national health organizations and, I am told, articles are
|
|||
|
starting to appear in the US about it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When I was over in Russia some of the people I spoke with
|
|||
|
including the Intourist host explained that sex as such in the
|
|||
|
USSR is one colossal nono and taboo. The society is quite puritan
|
|||
|
and Victorian about sex believing that it is meant only for the
|
|||
|
propagation of the species in order to populate the Motherland.
|
|||
|
All this is after a due process marriage, of course. Naturally
|
|||
|
hormones don't care abour Lenin. Men do have hormone arousals
|
|||
|
and attacks. In addition flats are small and scarce, with two or
|
|||
|
even three families living in a four-room apartment. This means
|
|||
|
the casual sex of the American stripe is pretty much precluded --
|
|||
|
it's hard to lay your girlfriend when your aunt is sleeping on the
|
|||
|
cot across from you and your father is playing chess with your
|
|||
|
sister at the table in the corner.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now, on top of all this, in Russia you must earn the privilege
|
|||
|
to have a household pet. You work extra long and hard and you get
|
|||
|
a coupon for a dog or a cat. This you redeem at the Ministry of
|
|||
|
house pets or some such bureau and you are the proud owner (with a
|
|||
|
license) of a nice cuddly dog. Needless to say, pets are uncommon
|
|||
|
in the USSR.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So we see Igor getting all hot and horny with his family all
|
|||
|
around his ears. Necessity to satisfy his biological urges
|
|||
|
causes a lightbulb in his head to go on! Igor fetches a large
|
|||
|
bath towel 'because the draft thru the wall cracks bother him' and
|
|||
|
in a flash the little cuddly dog is popped under it. Some minor
|
|||
|
commotion ensues and the dog jumps out all terribly confused.
|
|||
|
Igor is becalmed and his tension momentarily relieved.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
With little other outlet for sex urges, the dog is treated to
|
|||
|
frequent sessions under the towel. Soon, our dog sickens and Igor
|
|||
|
packs it off to the clinic. Oddly, it fails to revive under the
|
|||
|
usual medicines; the immune system seems deficient. And the dog
|
|||
|
dies.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Apparently the periodic towel treatments overload the animals
|
|||
|
capacity to fight off "invading micro-organisms" in the form of
|
|||
|
sexual fluids. Now in Russia, ideologically speaking, there is no
|
|||
|
explanation for this odd death at all. Quite privately the
|
|||
|
physicians did have to own up to the cause and they alerted other
|
|||
|
countries. It took a few years to figure out what was going on
|
|||
|
firstly because pets are far and few between in Russia, secondly,
|
|||
|
most people don't have the smarts --or the nerve -- to bring a
|
|||
|
sick pet to a doctor. After all, the pet was awarded to the
|
|||
|
person and its sickness could be deemed a mark of unworthiness to
|
|||
|
keep it, given the centralized state control of everything.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now look what's going on in the USA. Here sex with housepets
|
|||
|
is a subset of the overall sex culture and, indeed, you can get
|
|||
|
books, magazines, appliances, etc. to promote and foster pet sex
|
|||
|
(remember, this is with human partners). Hence, for some time
|
|||
|
pets were brought to vets with arcane diseases that failed to
|
|||
|
respond to treatment.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Vets in the sexually aggressive neighborhoods knew all along
|
|||
|
what was happening. And in the pet sex literature there were
|
|||
|
pieces about the cause of death among sexual pet partners.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Well, when the Soviets leaked out the word -- pets are dying
|
|||
|
from AIDS -- there was no way to avoid the topic within the
|
|||
|
general public. So, although I myself have yet to see any
|
|||
|
articles on pet AIDS, I do hear about it at social gatherings and
|
|||
|
parties. Needless to say, no one in my circles ever owned up to
|
|||
|
sexxing with his or her housepet, but all state that they know a
|
|||
|
friend or neighbor who practices pet sex and lost a pet to AIDS as
|
|||
|
a result. Also, being that I work in the Village, (Greenwich
|
|||
|
Village in New York), I do see some heavy stuff going on between
|
|||
|
people and pets in the parks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Anyway, that's what you get from the good folk who brought you
|
|||
|
caviar and vodka.
