This optical illusion is caused by our brain's top down processing rather than being mindful of what's there or what psychologists refer to as bottom up processing -- perceiving based on data rather than interpretation. Instead, our minds constantly "construct" our reality. Send complaints care of CC Liu. Then fish your mind out of the gutter and look below:

Female penis structure of cave insect (CB)

Females with penislike genitals and males with vaginalike organs are cases of a new extreme reversal of sex roles researchers have discovered in little-known cave insects.

 

These are the first examples of animals with genitalia that reverse the traditional sex roles, and the discovery could shed light on the conflict between the sexes in the animal kingdom, investigators said.

 

Scientists analyzed four species of insects from extremely dry caves in Brazil. All four species belong to the genus Neotrogla, just as dogs, wolves, coyotes, and jackals belong to genus Canis. The first Neotrogla was discovered 18 years ago; adult Neotrogla range from about 2.7 to 3.7 millimeters (0.11 to 0.15 inches) long. More

WARNING: Sex is discussed and crudely drawn, carved in stone, and scrawled as graffiti!

 

People had sex in ancient Egypt? Surely, it was only for procreative purposes! That's what we were taught in school, church, and college. Now we come to find there was *blush* something called the Turin Erotic Papyrus -- shocking pornography from Egypt. The hieroglyphs show penises, eroticism, orgies, wanton abandon, pleasure, even bestiality. Is it the "gods" (devas and asuras), royalty, or ordinary citizens and slaves? Fortunately, graffiti survives from those ancient pyramids, tunnels, and tombs.

Kama Sutra temple (uglypeople.se)

Now that we think of it, does it get any more erotic than ancient India and its temples celebrating -- and depicting -- sex manuals as temple walls? Of course, there are the ancient Greeks who are credited with inventing Western sexuality, and what the Romans were up to (think Caligula), well, who can be surprised that other countries and cultures knew about the birds, bees, and linga and yonis?

A papyrus scroll so hot, so lust inspiring, so puerile and swinger-like... How, Egypt?
