Starting in 2013, authors like Jane Dashiell and Christie Sims began selling 10-to-15-page short stories for $3 each with titles like Jurassic Gangbang and In the Velociraptors’ Nest, forcing us all to stop for a brief but terrifying second to wonder what raptor cock must look like.

But these ladies were just the warm-up acts for Chuck Tingle, a truly demented author from Billings, Montana, who is both wild with his queer sci-fi imaginings yet, well, limited in his prose. He is way too fond of the phrase “pounded in the butt,” yet the variety of creatures doing the pounding is impressive.

With the mainstream media’s sudden awareness of trans people, Dr Tingle is riding that wave with his latest story, Angry Man Pounded By The Fear Of His Latent Gayness Over A Dinosaur Transitioning Into A Unicorn. There is clearly no limit to his imagination.

So why is it that so many people are into dino sex? Part of me wonders if it’s all just a joke that got taken out of hand. Perhaps someone made the first dino porno as a spoof, and people mistook this as a need from an increasingly liberated audience. I wonder what market research – if any – has been done on the audiences who consume dino erotica?

Perhaps, it’s because we’re struggling with the idea of sex between two tender-bodied, consenting human beings and want inhuman, cold-blooded reptile skin instead? These sexual encounters are often bound up in guilt and are often non-consensual – which suggests a sublimation of sexual drives we can’t or won’t face.

Look, gay dino porn is a thing, and it’s been around for a while. Why are we fighting this still? Best to just lie back and take it – I mean, accept it! I definitely wouldn’t ever advocate for reptilian sex. Ever.

This movie is the latest contribution to the surprisingly fertile genre of dinosaur erotica.
