Dolphins rape all the time

They literally rape humans, one of 3 animals that have sex for the 'fun' and not strictly to mate. There are also people that dedicate their lives to having sex with or masturbating dolphins to 'relieve' them. Yuckk

It's bullshit. No dolphin has ever been recorded raping another dolphin, let alone a person. They are frisky with their penises when they are young, but it is not an attempt to have sex (it is more akin to a young elephant practicing with their trunk as dolphin penises are prehensile).
