I think there is something in your detachment theory. Maybe from too many kills playing video games? But yeah... there are people who do and people who would like to but don't/can't. I guess the ones who watch those vids and enjoy them fall in the latter category.
The vid was hilarious. I'm trying to convince myself that the audio wasn't dubbed in lol. I saw some ummm... Galapagos(?) tortoises mating at the zoo when I was a child. That was a sight. I don't remember any love sounds but the guy was making an amazing effort though

Those are dolphins in the waves off Goleta CA. Surfing dolphins
