Gus S asked:


I mean, do the birds have *** with the bees, or is it that the bees “penetrate” the flowers, and the birds… I don’t know what the hell the birds are supposed to be doing?

   I think that the term ‘birds and the bees’ is just used to ‘allude’ to *** - in other words it was a polite way to say we need to have the *** talk!!
   Parents, who may have been too embarassed to discuss sex, or were afraid that too much information would be be confusing, resorted to *** as it occured in nature - never realizing that they were actually confusing matters more - since birds and bees do not reproduce in the same manner as humans.

   On a lighter note, the phrase may come from the Cole Porter song “Let’s Fall in Love.” which includes lyrics such as: “birds do it” and “bees do it.”

   Finally, the movie “The King and I” offers its own explanation, in a speach by the king, which i paraphrase here: “a woman is like a flower with eyes for just one man, a man is like a bee, who flits from flower to flower….”
