    A scientist is studying a group of nomadic hunters when he notices there aren’t any women in the group. He asks a hunter if they ever miss romantic companionship. The hunter replies “when we get lonely, we use our horses”. The scientist is shocked by this at first, but as the weeks go by, his desires grow and he begins to look at the horses differently. One night, when the desire was too strong to ignore, he leaves his tent to mount one of the horses. It was awkward and difficult but he eventually manages. The next day, he tells the hunter he used one of the horses for relief, but not without a lot of difficulty. He asks if they had developed any special techniques to make things easier. The hunter says “we normally just ride them to the nearest village.”
