Well, I watched "My Octopus Teacher" on netflix: a flawed but moving documentary about a straight man who has a lifechanging erotic relationship with a female octopus.

lol, that film is dumb insofar as he befriends an octopus and then doesnβt interfere with a shark attacking it but then feels itβs appropriate to bring it food to heal and then bring his son to meet the octopus and thatβs at the halfway mark of the film. narrator says βthatβs when my relationship with my teacher deepenedβ and i peaced out. iβm as avidly pro-cephalopod as the next person but projection on that level is just gross. yes, the photography is spectacular. itβs good oceanography film porn but no, it's not erotic.

Bernie would fuck an octopus
is it possible to have a non-erotic relationship with an octopus? or, because octopuses are by nature boundary-negating (in your reading) which is the essence of eros (in your reading), does that make them inherently erotic, meaning all relationships with octopuses are erotic?— Elizabeth Bruenig (@ebruenig) September 21, 2020

I have to say, I never much care to hear anything from Elizabeth Bruenig and this goes double for this.

what beauty! but that's gotta be perilous in the wild, surely? if protective camouflage is one of the main objectives/benefits of this ability then flashing like a beacon while you're unconscious seems counterproductive. maybe there has to be a baseline comfort level or established lack of nearby predators before a sleeping octopus relaxes to that degree. damn they are cool.
