Duck-lips and Desmond Morris

i agree that there is some truth to the human lips and the vagina. desmond morris argues (in the naked ape) that the reason our lips are turned "inside-out", unlike all other primates, is that our faces are meant to resemble labia in the same way a baboon's face looks strikingly like its anus.

his book was written in 1967, however, and there are several things either out of date or missing entirely.

desmond morris was not alive to ever scrutinize Duck-lips, or Duckface.

i theorize late-night drunken-bitch photography's addition of Duck-lips is a slutty attempt at utilizing lips to further the thought of vaginas-- an extreme version of our already vaginal-esque lips-- to really show you they mean business. because there is no other reason. it cannot be because someone actually thinks guys find that ridiculous face attractive. no guy finds it attractive. no guy. this is not a situation where i, as one guy, say "no guy" and just mean me. in the male community we are dumbstruck by the idea-- bewildered and worried-- and none of us can decide who on earth ever told girls to start forcing their lips out like imbecilic fish in order to look hot.

i think most guys sigh when their girlfriend sends one of those pictures.

for a while, i thought these ladies were pretending to be readying a kiss-- but if that's true, it's absolutely failed.


it just looks like you're making spitty fart noises with your mouth.

and i have tried for the longest time to put some form of reasoning behind the obsession with the Duckface. i've even seen rather respectable girls doing it, and i always want to run up and smack them ask them why.

so back to desmond morris and the vagina lips.

he says our lips protrude to create a sort of face-snatch, and subliminally increase our sexual desire-- thus keeping ourselves populating. so, in a drunken state, perhaps our already protruding lips are simply not enough. and perhaps, on an animal level, this is where the Duck-lips originated.

"were you thinking about my vagina? no? DUCKFACE HOW ABOUT NOW?"

i mean, is there a reason? did zoolander do this to you? is it instinct, pop-culture, or something else entirely?

please discuss.
