"  I&amp;#039;m sure it&amp;#039;s different when two people are in a relationship and comfortable with each other, but when you&amp;#039;re navigating the single girl&amp;#039;s minefield of tipsy hook-ups, awkward dating and long (I&amp;#039;m talking long) periods of unintentional celibacy, getting oral sex is like, oh, I dunno, a Mast chocolate bar.  It&amp;#039;s a treat, but it shouldn&amp;#039;t be! We should always have some. Plus, There&amp;#039;s never enough of it, and it hardly ever lasts as long as it should. Bet you never thought that dudes in search of good sexual ground rules should look to the mating rituals of the Indian fruit bat. However, a study reprinted in HuffPo that sampled 420 of the critters in one small village reflects an awful lot of considerate foreplay on the part of the male bat. Specifically, cunnilingus, although the time they spend down there could use some improvement. Each case of cunnilingus typically lasted about 50 seconds. The males then mounted the females for 10 to 20 seconds, and then went back to cunnilingus for 94 to 188 seconds. Over 13 months of monitoring with binoculars and a video camera (pervs), researchers witnessed 57 cases of bat sex, both intercourse and oral. It&amp;#039;s a two-way street, of course: female fruit bats also perform oral sex on the males.  It&amp;#039;s speculated that the biological reason behind male bats&amp;#039; tendency to go down on female bats (God, my job is weird) is to prolong copulation, further arouse and lubricate the female bats, and improve the chances of pregnancy. However, one researcher confirms that &amp;quot;bats also exhibit oral sex as a courtship behavior.&amp;quot; Yup, that&amp;#039;ll do it! Not to mention give female bats some great brunch conversation. Follow Anna on Twitter: @annabreslaw Photo via Thinkstockphoto "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
