I think it’s important to know what the delivery method is. Are we talking a dropper, or you know, something else.

why complicate things, if the delivery method is already provided by nature?

Did they buy the pig dinner before obtaining the baby batter?

I mean they paid for its feed, yes. And its housing and everything else.

It’s not special if it’s done everyday. That pig needs to be wined and dined before intimacy.

It sounds more like a sugar-caretaker relationship.

I mean we could use an eye dropper... unless.....

Sure, if you don't mind sub-optimal freshness. Some people are more refined than that though.

It is still a "dropper" in both cases.

Maybe they tie the pig down first and beat him if he doesnt submit?

An apple gag sounds appropriate.
