		<description>Well, let&apos;s think about that. I think Hot Pockets are satisfying, but erotically? So if I had an orifice, and if I decided to fill it with melted pepperoni and cheese, would I be turned on? &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I think it all depends, as part of the deliciousness of my hot pocket orifice would hinge on its hotness, so I would have to find a way to microwave it. But that would scald.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
So the answer is no.</description>

		<description>If the internet has taught me anything, it&apos;s that everything is erotic to somebody.</description>

		<description>But they are erotic!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Anything is erotic to humans if it&apos;s either (a) an erogonous zone or (b) not present on the body of the opposite gender.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
It&apos;s it&apos;s (a) and (b) then you might as well create a fark category for it.</description>

		<description>bondcliff has it. As its primary use is for child care, it would have only fringe fetisihistic popularity as an erotic object, like preganant women, breast milk, etc.</description>

		<description>chaz: Last time I checked, the primary purpose of breasts is child care. And though I&apos;m not much of an expert on the subject, I&apos;m under the impression the obsession of heterosexual males with them is more than fringe fetishism.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
However, most of the most popular erogonous zones have high nerve-ending densities; I don&apos;t think a pouch would be very sensitive, considering it&apos;d be designed to lug a child around in.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Grod: Hehe, very nice.</description>

		<description>fvw: Human breasts probably evolved as peacock-style indicator of vitality.  The idea that it&apos;s designed to display  (possibly, as Desmond Morris proposes, to fulfill the now-upright ape&apos;s desire to have something like an engorged buttocks to look like).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Theories like that larger breasts are exciting because they could carry more milk or something like that are most likely wrong (since it&apos;s not true, for one).  So the fact that breasts are erogenous and attractive sexually is probably mostly unrelated to their child-rearing role.</description>

		<description>Only if they were covered, and wrapped every day in lacy undergarments. Then, ya.</description>

		<description>Marsupials w/ pouches are said to have &quot;double-vaginas,&quot; right..?</description>

		<description>Thing is, the pouch carries babies and has nipples. Breasts/nipples are used to feed children for a few years out of a woman&apos;s life, assuming she has several children and feeds them for a year or more each. Most of the time breasts are concealed. Although it is not uncommon to see a woman breastfeeding in public that is not always the case. A pouch, on the other hand, could not be conceled and be functional as the child/joey needs easy access at all times. Besides, I imagine that women without children would end up using them as a built in purse.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; I imagine that women without children would end up using them as a built in purse.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Only if they wanted to get their celphones covered in mucous. A marsupial pouch is not the cartoon fur-lined satchel you&apos;re picturing; it&apos;s essentially an external womb.  Think pink, wet, and biological, not cute and fuzzy.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;small&gt;So, yeah, definitely erotic. Besides, name an orifice on the human body large enough to accommodate a penis which has &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; been eroticised.  QED.&lt;/small&gt;</description>

		<description>Smiling, Jessica stroked her paw across his soft chest fur and nuzzled his ears&lt;br&gt;
again, eliciting a soft moan from him.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
    &quot;You like that - don&apos;t you Ashtail?&quot;  Jessica whispered softly, as her&lt;br&gt;
paw stroked slowly in circles on his chest.&lt;br&gt;
