You guys are completely ignoring an entire classification...male organisms
which eat the male sex organ, often refered to as Doolovores, from the
charicature apparent in the effeminant oral and anal behavior of Bill Dooley.
While it is rumored that doolovores eat mostly small adolescent males, I
have heard they are opportunistic feeders and can be expected to feed on any
male foolish enough to expose himself.
Doolovores frequently attempt to bury their favorite food within the
primary opening of their own alimentary canal {the rectum} and the question
remains as to whether this is hunting behavior or food storage/gathering.
They seem to enjoy packing this rear area at least as much as eating, which
leaves them, thankfully, with little time or interest in reproducing
themselves.
Doolovores are seen to approach cave diving in a limited fashion---they
would much rather be penetrated than to penetrate, and if they do penetrate,
they have great difficulty maintaining their penetrations. This is
postulated to represent learned behavior, and doolovorers have their own
training agency for diseminating it.
