      it’s a scene from Greek mythology and the subject of several paintings. the swan is Zeus in disguise. Leda later laid an egg, and from it hatched Helen of Troy

        Thanks! I remembered the Greek gods kinda banging everyone and often as non humans but completely missed that this was Helen’s lineage.

          They probably thought you were taking the piss rather than referencing actual historical smut art

    Do Swans have the corkscrew dicks that ducks are famous for? Would explain the chick’s grin.
