Ah, but my instinct related from the degree to which pro-pee postings had a tone of gleeful proclamation and some people seemed eager to repeat the exercise as if the scent of their last posting had faded away. Territory in this sense is not a warning on a boundary fence, mate, or door, but an unfocused declaration to outline maleness or earthiness or some-such. Perhaps their own animal instincts are awry and that they do not post so dam nearly obsessively on the subject to ward of competitors, to protect their plants, nor necessarily to directly influence female readers to be attracted to them given how marking can work that way too. If I had a dog and he ****ed on my door to mark it, I think he'd soon learn to do his marking a bit further away the next time and so, perhaps, if he were able to, he'd announce on the internet where he has marked as a means to compensate / make up for the restrictions on his personal primarily preferred prime ****ing points. Animal territorial marking is usually done to warn other animals away from the den, feeding ground *or mate. So if your theory was *correct, territorial gardeners would be peeing on the front door, *kitchen , or their partner, to drive off the opposition. *Or possibly, around some rare favourite plant to deter other gardeners from taking cuttings. * * *Janet. |
