WOW,This mademe feel uncomfortable

This is practically grimdark lol! Why aren't I more disgusted??

Man, cutie marks are already metaphorical puberty, do we really need to get actual puberty involved as well?

And it seems kind of odd that Applejack would be so ashamed about it. It doesn't seem like her.

An asexual Applejack, that's an interesting way to go. And, knowing Applebloom, she's going to go and make a mess of the situation, isn't she. I'm not sure how, though...

i feep quezy now i dident even read the whole thing

I'm almost a little uncomfortable reading this, as a guy.
But, thanks to the internet, I can't stop.

Wow, the best biology i've seen in the fanfiction universe yet.

Very well done.

Ah yes, THE TALK!

The conversation with the parental figures about the 'adult' part of biology.
I have dismissed that claim.
(I'm serious.)

That part about comparing Rarity's parents to posts being an insult to posts!

Bwahaha very cute. An interesting take on things and definitely neat idea. I wouldn't mind seeing more of stuff like this. Seeing how ponies manage with such monthly issues and poberty and hormones. If you have any more ideas >.> <.<

Definitely not something I ever thought I would see associated with ponies, but ok then

... So pony genitals are stored in a flap like thing?

Interesting...

I looked up lacinia and found only botany usages. Did you invent this particular usage?

I'd decided:

That Applejack was always going to use the Latin words for pony genitalia, so I got my English-Latin dictionary off the shelf, looked up the word "flap," and it suggested lacinia, a word used to describe an unfastened piece of clothing. So I used that.

Mike

Interesting. Now what goes wrong? I foresee a good deal of grief from conflicting points of view.

I'm sorry but this is disgusting.

Too many face plams...

As I've said before:

This is the chapter that made me consider putting a "Gore" tag on the story. Because animal biology is icky, icky stuff!

Mike

"Y'mean--" Somehow, Apple Bloom's eyes got even wider. "I've got a cunny same as a cow??"

I fucking died.

This is..... strange

I like the last part.

A light came into Apple Bloom's eyes. "Like the Everfree Forest!"
AJ blinked down at her. "You what?"
"Ponies don't make the decisions there, so it's all wild and dangerous." She turned to the little bathroom window, and when Applejack followed her gaze, she saw the careful trees of Sweet Apple Acres standing in the early morning sun. "But here on the farm, we do what we know is right, and we make something good for ev'rypony." She looked back. "It's like that, ain't it, sis?"
Tears welled, Applejack's throat getting tight. "Exactly like that, sugar cube." She touched her nose to her sister's, proud and glad she'd finally followed through to make this day be the day. "Exactly."

The idea:

Of what's natural and what isn't plays a big part in Applejack's character when I write her for these stories. That the Pony Show sets up this division up from the very first episode is one of the many things I find fascinating about the program!

Thanks for reading,
Mike

That's actually kind of beautiful, AB's analogous analogy. And it's awfully sweet of AJ to make sure about that.

Thanks!

Along with the whole "natural vs. unnatural" thing I'm trying to thread through these "Romance" stories--"Biology" here, its sequel "History," and "Philosophy," the third in the series that I'll begin posting in mid-December--there's a whole concept arc about how love and friendship are supposed to work in a family. AJ's the absolute pillar of that, and I just plain enjoy writing her that way.

Mike

The idea that the ponies have a "flap" that hides their junk is strange and kind of disturbing. I cant look away

also I keep on thinking of the story Eyes Wide Shut and how spike refers to himself as a "penis ninja" and it was cracking me up.

strange and kind of disturbing

That could very well be:

The "pull quote" for this whole series of stories I hope you continue to find that those words apply!

Mike

"Oh! You mean like on cattle and sheep with their pizzles and cunnies?"

See? Sheep are uncivilized, they would be full animals if they could not talk. Don't get me started on their ideas on economics...

Sometimes feels like it, she wanted to say, but instead: "It's kinda like an eyelid."

Sir Author, are you a woman speaking from experience? That sounds so unpleasant, about a subject that already is hard to imagine.

I'm sealed up smooth as ev'rypony always oughtta be."

Smooth pony crotches are much easier for Hasbro to make rather than detailed ones.
I don't see what everyone's so upset about. The Talk is not pleasant, it's scary, and everyone needs it in one way or another. This would have been an interesting one-shot, with a less judgmental Applejack. I don't understand asexual-Applejack, if you have that much trouble getting her a stallion just settle with Applesnack/Steel Hooves. He'll treat her right.

This is:

An entirely made-up story, so no, I speak from no experience. Except maybe for the experience of not having much in the way of a sex drive like the way I write AJ in the first couple chapters of this.

I'm not familiar with Applesnack/Steel Hooves, though. A character from another story, I'm guessing?

Mike

Please, please, please, if the premise of the story is something like futanari or whatever you call this, put a warning in the long description as well as in the short one! I had this in my read later for about a year, but I never got into a situation where I caught a glimpse of the short description. I won't downvote the story; just please remember that the long description should have all of the information and more that is in the other one.

"You know how a chicken lays eggs that don't hatch when she ain't had a rooster in her? Well, a mare gets blood like this when she ain't had a stallion stick his penis inside her vulva. You seen a ram cover a ewe before, ain't'cha?"

AJ....that was just horrible. Applebloom would have been better off with Big Mac.

Animal biology:

Is not AJ's strong suit. Give her pistils and stamens any day!
