Is that true that tom lions lick lioness labia? Or a lioness licks her labia, or a lion licks his penis?
A. Yes, it’s true. A tom lion isn’t interested in giving cunnilingus, all he wants is the female’s smell – but he happens to stimulate her vulva while doing it, which is what she wants. Lions are like almost all mammals in that they are turned on by scent. In fact, only the higher primates – which unfortunately includes us humans – DON’T attach any importance to smell. Lions use scent to track prey, find water, and regulate their social behaviour. So it’s only natural that sex is included. I’d once been playing with a bitch who was in heat, and some time later I visited a friend’s place, whose male dog sniffed my clothes, then jumped on me and tried to mate with my leg! (Good burglar’s trick, in fact – distracts guard dogs like you wouldn’t belive!) So yes, tom lions are keenly attracted to the smell of a lioness in heat, it’s sort of their equivalent to a beautiful woman seductively taking off her clothes. One source of this scent (it’s called a pheremone, by the way) is in the cheek
