SNAILS: Exploring the Sexuality of Gastropods

	The sex life of snails 
	Has always fascinated me: 
	Without leaving their shells 
	They manage to achieve intimacy. 

	I've never been that fortunate.


Miok: 	 Sex can never do the work that love is meant to do.

Tim: 	 (chuckling) Don't say that many haven't tried.

Cantara: In this sense humans aren't so different from snails – seeking intimacy while 
         ensheathed in protective shells. It's both ridiculous and futile.

Chris: 	 Well, snails have survived 50 million years. I doubt humans will do better.
