At the end of each of my youth groups, the kids are sent into different groups (divided by age and gender) to talk about the weeks lesson. The days' lesson was your standard Church stuff: God being all-powerful, etc. I usually don't do this, but I figured I'd go ahead and listen in on the guys' discussion group. A good friend of mine was leading it and I wanted to hear how he was doing.
D-Group Leader: "I really liked what Greg had to say about how big God is. Have you ever watched one of those science programs on the size of the universe? It really is amazing how big they are!"
CJ: "I watched one that said you would live at least a thousand lifetimes before you even reached the next solar system."
Carl: "Did you know humans and dolphins are the only species on earth that enjoy sexual intercourse?"
(Silence)
D-Group Leader: "Wow...Alright, I think we can call it a day."
I was pretty hysterical and had to walk away from the door so I wouldn't give myself up. Good to know the kids are learning a lot.

You really should have told the kid that "Its terribly unlikely that most animals dislike sexual intercourse." If they disliked it, why would they do it?
If most animals in a species were even opinion neutral on sex you'd think that the random freaks that enjoyed intercourse would quickly out-reproduce the opinion neutral ones. In the next generation such indifferent creatures wouldn't be as numerous as in the previous generation. One would expect, that over the course of several hundreds of generations of evolution, that enjoying sex would probably propagate if it was a heritable trait.
So as species go, most of them are probably very motivated to engage in intercourse.
P.S. Sorry for the serious response to what was obviously a humorous topic.
@anonymous- Actually I had the same thought, but I thought talking about animal sex with a middle school kid could potentially cause future problems ;-)
