The Mating Rituals of Hypnotic Creatures - The North American Voyeur Bunny

Sexual reproduction. The exchanging of one's genes with another in order to hopefully create an entirely new being is foundational to the biological instincts of all creatures. From the low rumbling ribbits of the common bullfrog to the elaborate courtship dances of the birds of paradise the ways in which the creatures of our planet initiate sexual reproduction is as varied as it is fascinating.

Through this series we will explore one of the more recently discovered reproductive adaptations observed in the animal kingdom. The use of hypnosis and mind control and its impact on human beings.

We begin our journey in one of the most biologically diverse locations in all of North America, the forests of the Appalachian mountains. Stretching across the eastern edge of the mountain range, the unique topography creates a plethora of different microclimates, leading to a wide range of unique adaptations. These woods are also among the commonly visited locations within the US National Park system. As a result much of the local fauna have developed unique behaviors when encountering human visitors.

It is here where the scopophilic hare, or voyeur bunny, as it is colloquially known, makes its home. Despite its name, the scopophilic hare is a bit of a mystery taxonomically. Coming in as large as 20 cm (7.9 inches) long, its ears are almost triple the length of the typical eastern cotton tail and more similar in ratio to jack rabbits living in the southwestern United States. However, its overall size is relatively small compared to other hare species, which are defined by their powerful hind legs perfect for quick escapes. Recent genomic testing has indicated it may even be its own separate genus of lagomorph, but capture is quite rare, leaving its exact taxonomical classification is somewhat underdetermined.

Unlike many auriclely well-endowed lagomorph species, who primarily use the feature for heat regulation, the scopophilic hare's ears primarily serve as a method of defense. When threatened by any number of predatory mammals, rather than immediately running away, the scopophilic hare will begin swinging its large ears back and forth. This motion, combined with a mix of disorienting chemicals, briefly incapacitates oncoming predators allowing the creature to make a quick escape while avoiding being tracked.

In humans, however, these elements have a different effect...

"C'mon hurry up!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

A young adult female of at least 18 years of age is seen wandering through these woods. She is joined by an adult male of similar age. Having left the designated trail, they appear to have been wandering these woods for several hours. They are both dressed in rather plain attire. The male is dressed in a featureless polyester t-shirt and cargo shorts. The excess pockets are useful for storing nuts and other resources.

The female is dressed with a similar lack of flair or preparation. Wearing a tightly clinging athletic shirt with jean shorts. She appears to have opted not to wear any additional support garment. Likely unnecessary due to her less than average bust.

"Do you even know where you are going?" The male inquires, smacking a mosquito that lands upon his neck.

"Of course I do!" She responds, "the trail should be riiight past this hill."

"Pretty sure we've climbed this exact hill twice already. Admit it. You got us completely lost. I told you we should have just stayed on the trail. Now mom is going to be mad at us." The male admonishes. They both speak in an accent indicating they are likely not familiar with these forests. Originating from the colder midwestern portion of the country. They sweat profusely in the mild heat of springtime Appalachia with few supplies with them.

"I'm not lost! I know exactly where we are. The trail is just past this hill up ahead! Plus she's your mom not mine, so I don't care if she is mad at you..."

The pair trek up the hill in front of them only to not find the trail they are seeking, but more trees. The trail they are looking for is exactly one mile in the opposite direction from their current location and, having ignored the warning signs, they instead wander directly into the mating grounds of the scopophilic hare.

"Oh my god. We are lost."

"Ugh! I told you!"

"Okay, I may not know where we are going but it's fine!" The female tries to rationalize, "We'll just keep walking and we are bound to run into a park ranger or something."

"I really think we should just set up camp."

"We don't need to set up camp. It's not even sundown."

"Yeah, but the further we wander off from the trail, the more likely we are going to run into a bear or something!"

"Oh, like a fucking bear couldn't find us just sitting around. Plus our plane leaves tomorrow morning, so we need to get back tonight. I'll get us back to the trail, so don't wor - aaah"

"Becca!"

The female slips down a hill, through several layers of brush.

"Aaaaaah oof" She lands at the bottom of the hill among a small clearing in the forest.

"Shit, Rebecca, are you okay?" The male shouts down. The trees and bushes in between them cause the male to lose sight of her.

"Yeah! I'm fine!" She yells back, rubbing her backside, "just slipped! Can you get down?"

"Uuuuh! It looks kind of steep! Maybe I can find another way down."

"Oh you baby! Fine! I guess I'll wait here! Ow!"

The female stands up and surveys her surroundings. Perhaps scanning to see if her fall serendipitously landed her closer to the trail.

Out of the corner of her eye, she notices a rustling in the bushes.

"Huh, what was that?"

Her heart rate increases as she braces herself to either confront a prospective predator or take her chances at a quick escape.

Instead, the scopophilic hare makes its grand entrance.

She breathes a sigh of relief. "Awwww. Hey little guy. You aren't so scary. You're just a cute little bunny!"

She takes a careful step closer causing the animal's ears to shoot upwards.

"No no! I'm not going to hurt you."

The hare begins swinging its massive ears. They sway from side to side in a fluid, pendulum-like motion. Humans are often caught off guard by the animals' soft unassuming features, before the rhythmic sway commands their attention.

"Do you hear something?" The clueless female inquires. Unaware that she is unconsciously being drawn deeper and deeper by the smooth oscillations of the hare's hypnotic ears.

In addition to the direct focus point, the animal releases a potent allomone that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. Known as the "rest and digest" or "feed and breed" response.

The female will begin to feel relaxed. Her heart rate slows down, giving her a gentle sense of peace. She begins to take deep full breaths creating a positive feedback loop, in which she inhales even more of the relaxing fragrance. She takes another step forward. Subconsciously beckoned by the pleasant chemicals flowing in the air.

"Sooooo cute," she drones. The allomones work quickly. She will begin to feel quite relaxed. Her muscles will start to feel loose. Her eyes will turn glassy and unfocused, as she continues to stare at the plesant arc back and forth. Her conscious mind drifts away in favor of a much more base level of function.

As she stands staring down at the animal, another bunny emerges from the brush. Unlike most species, the scopophilic hare's female is the one who initiates the mating ritual. The voyeur bunny gets its name from the fact that the buck of the species has a habit of deciding to breed upon witnessing other animals in the act. Using its ears to facilitate the induction of other species, the doe's ear oscillation combined with its pheromones signal to the male hare that mating may commence soon.

"I feel funny..." she manages to vocalize as she begins to fidget in place.

While the doe's allomones serve to relax and subdue the subject, the arrival of the buck brings a cocktail of aromatic secretion which serve as a potent aphrodisiac. Blood is being actively redirected from her brain to several erogenous zones. Her nipples harden, poking visibly through her athletic shirt. Her clitoris becomes more sensitive. She squeezes her thighs together in a futile attempt at self satisfaction.

"Rebecca! Are you down here?" Suddenly the male finds himself in the same area, shouting ahead to find her. The pair of animals make no attempt to move or flee from its spot. The species has an unusual lack of caution in relation to humans, perhaps aware of the effect its chemicals have on them.

"There you are!" The male has spotted his female companion. Though he does not yet notice her new found friends.

"Man, you slid really far. Are you alright?"

The female does not respond. She simply stares ahead in a haze of arousal. The male is unknowingly breathing in the same chemicals.

"Helloooo. Earth to Rebecca, are you there?" He waves his hand in front of her face.

The female says nothing and instead unbuttons her shorts and lets them fall to the ground. She does not appear to have been wearing any undergarments at all, as she is now nude from the waist down. She is nearly hairless below the waist, likely as a result of a grooming standard present in their culture.

"Whoa, whoa what are you doing?" The male asks, confused.

Overcome with animal-like arousal, she drops to all fours. She turns and points her backside to the male, presenting her glistening vulva to him. She squirms and grunts towards him. She is no longer able to communicate with words or reason. Succumbing fully to her instinct to reproduce.

"What the fuck? Get your ass away from me!" The male protests, but does not look away. The bruised by full toned backside of his sibling swaying almost in the same rhythm as the adjoining female hare.

Men have a much lower tolerance towards the aphrodisiac properties of the allomones and the air already heavily saturated with their presence. Blood surges to his penis as he finds it harder and harder to resist his instinct to mount and breed the fertile female in front of him.

He looks around to see if anyone may be watching before declaring, "Fuck it."

He tears off his clothing, using what remains of his cognitive reasoning skills to work the female's shorts off of her shoes before mounting her.

Gripping her hips, his penis slides effortlessly into her vaginal opening. She is well lubricated from the intense bombardment of brain melting chemicals. His thrusts are primal. Rapidly pistoning into her body with a rough disregard for anything but spreading his genes.

"Mmmmmm-ah" The female vocalizes her pleasure with a guttural moan. A sense of fulfillment fills her mind as she is bred by such a dominant male. She moves to match his eager rhythm. Slamming her pelvis into his as he thrusts forward. Driving him deeper into her body.

Their eyes turn glassy as they simply stare forward. Their primal urges lay bare as any and all social taboos are discarded in favor of the raw pleasure of the reproductive act. Communicating only through guttural grunts and moans, they approach climax rapidly, their heightened hormones increasing their mutual sensitivity.

His voyeuristic desires satisfied, the partner pair also begins to copulate in a rhythm not dissimilar from their human counterparts. The males breed their respective partners in tandem. All four participants wrapped in the throws of pleasure, though it is harder to judge the satisfaction of the hares.

The voyeur bunnies conclude quite shortly after beginning. It is advantageous for the hares to reproduce quickly to avoid predation from hawks and snakes during mating.

Conversely, those under the influence of their allomones find their sexual stamina greatly increased. Those exposed to the chemical may fornicate for hours post exposure.

The male tightens his grip on the female's hips and ejaculates deep inside her, but continues thrusting. His refractory period shortened significantly, he may ejaculate several times over the course of their breeding session. The female's arms have collapsed from beneath her, from several orgasms ripping through her body, leaving her muscles tired.

The two hares conclude their session and return to their brush. Leaving their performers behind for the mosquitos to feed as the night falls.

The pair may eventually come to their senses, but not before another set of hares comes along to witness the newest show in town. Refreshing the supply of chemicals in the air. Let's hope the female was right and someone with appropriate precautions arrives soon before a more dangerous observer comes along.

Their moans echo through the night. Just another example of the ambient sounds of mating and courtship we hear whenever we step outside.

"Aaaaaaah oooooh mmmmmm."
