    I’m a big fan of most of the teachings of RMS, but his views on sexuality are a bit questionable. Parrots are ok though

    The parrot story from 2010:

    A parrot once had sex with me. I did not recognize the act as sex until it was explained to me afterward, but being stroked on the hand by his soft belly feathers was so pleasurable that I yearn for another chance. I have a photo of that act; should I go to prison for it?

    Its url is also very nice: https://stallman.org/articles/extreme.html

      As a parrot owner, I’d like to interject for a moment. The first few times a bird tries this on you it may be amusing and you may even think you’re doing it a favour, but after a while the bird will get frustrated because it knows something is amiss. They will then get angry and often bite or turn to self-destructive behaviours like plucking their feathers.

      tl;dr allowing a parrot to use you sexually is not good for the parrot and is morally dubious for the human too

      But did you know he also likes to engage in rhinophytonecrophilia?

      I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants)

      Here is the source. Why is nobody talking about this?! /s

      He has a funny story about it too: https://stallman.org/articles/texas.html

      but his views on sexuality are a bit questionable

      I don’t know, I agree with many of them. There was one I didn’t agree with, but he changed his mind about that.
