Wise Old Thumper
An odd topic I know but bear with me. I am currently bonding or trying to bond two of my buns and one thing that keeps coming up which I have also seen in other does is the fear of being mounted by a male (don't worry all our buns are neutered). Most does seem to react defensively and then aggressively so I wonder if sex is painful for them and if does have a hymen like humans which hurts when broken. Also in some cases the male seems to pin the doe down and bite the back of her neck whilst doing the business. That seems extremely violent to me, like rape maybe. It just seems to me its the male who gets the most pleasure and the females don't get any at all.
I know that they are animals and I'm not trying to anthropomorphize them because I realize that perhaps rape or dislike of sex either doesn't exist or is irrelevant in the animal kingdom because of the overruling desire to procreate and ensure survival.
But I'm not sure what to think sometimes. Of all my rabbits only a couple of does seemed to enjoy sex, most couples didn't bother but those that do or did there was a definite issue for the does.
