Yet another installment of the spongebob's sexuality question arises, and I kinda had to mention a few amusing thoughts I have had on the topic, so if you will indulge me:
- Sponges do not have genitalia in the same sense that we do. I can't say I'm entirely sure how they procreate, but, truth be told, until now, nobody has ever been inclined to ask me about the reproductive patterns of a sponge
- Spongebob is a sponge (with rectangular pants rather than square, but, hey, we can't all be perfect, can we?)
- Patrick is a starfish. Again note the lack of genitalia (I think it has something to do with their arms, but I don't profess to be the Doctor Ruth of sea sexuality anyway; but all they have is arms and stomach....memories of high school dissections tend to go back to the idea that they don't really have a brain either).
- Because Spongebob and Patrick are both of completely different classes of animals, their relationship, if less than platonic, would best be described as "bestiality" (although, neither one of them being human, I wonder if that term could even apply...perhaps some new terminology is in order).
- Sandy the Squirrel brings a whole new dynamic to the picture. Being a mammal, she reproduces differently than do either SBSP or his appendage dominant buddy.
So...all in all, I hope these thoughts make your cartoon watching a little more fun and confusing.
