Chapter 8: The Horny Merman

As I was deliberating whether or not to fire, the merman tugged my hand and placed it back onto his abdomen, his large hand covering mine and guiding it to feel his solid abs. 

I noticed his tail was wagging again as if he was trying to humor the hand that was touching him. 

He wanted me to touch him? 

Were merpeople social with humans like dolphins were and like to be touch? 

I felt like I had opened a new avenue in communicating with merpeople. When conducting research on animals, people often think about how they can pacify them. But if merpeople and humans could communicate peacefully and we could meet their demands, wouldn’t that mean we can understand them better? 

I started to take his lead and relaxed my hand, feeling the solid contours of his abs. 

His skin was shiny and smooth, and his muscles were rock solid. A feeling of excitement rose from within me and I couldn’t deny it. If this were to be the body of an adult man, women would have a hard time saying no. 

Merpeople were definitely similar to dolphins as they both enjoyed being touched. He extended his neck forward and pretty much his entire body was plastered to mine. 

I was excited about this amiable interaction because his tail was wagging even faster than before. 

But slowly, I came to the realization that his behavior was somewhat strange. It was as though he was… horny? 

Then I saw the scaled slit open at the area where his humanoid torso met his fishtail. From within the slit, a “thing” that looked identical to a human’s sprung out, its girth and length inches larger than the average human’s. His “thing” was obviously erect and swollen to the point of turning purple, and now it was excitedly secreting some liquid. 

The merman had no sense of shame. With the bravery of someone announcing their heroic deeds, he pointed his “thing” at my face. 

I was utterly shocked. I didn’t know how to react and could only gulp nervously

Yes, this was my first time seeing such a magnificent “thing”. 

I could feel my blood rush and I didn’t think I could do any proper and rational research. 

So I decided to give up on this visit. 

I rigidly stood up and wanted to push the merman back into the tank. But just then, the merman let out a roar that was indescribable with words, and I was startled. 

I understood that he didn’t want to be thrown back into the tank. 

He still clung to me and kept thrusting his “thing” in front of my face. 

Now I could confirm that this merman was indeed aroused. 

No wonder he almost claim me earlier, he couldn’t find an outlet to release. 

The desire of animals to copulate is natural. It was no exception even for intelligent merpeople. 

I suddenly had the idea that I could use this chance to collect a semen sample. With a merman’s DNA, I could unravel the secrets of merpeople. 

Looking at both my hands and then at his erect and swollen “thing”, I gulped again nervously. 

Even though exciting thoughts were bouncing rapidly within my mind, my body was stiff. 

But the moment my eyes met his, it was like I was bewitched. I stiffly got down on one knee and stretched out a trembling hand, encircling it around his purplish “thing”. 

The moment I held onto it, the merman’s “thing” twitched excitedly against my palm. It looked like it had grown than before. 

I forced myself to not think about anything. This was purely for research purposes and scientific advancement. 

I dared not look up at him because it would make me feel like there is something wrong with me.
