A new documentary titled “Dolphin Lover” details the sexual relationship between photographer Malcolm Brenner and Dolly the Dolphin. Brenner says the “affair” occurred in 1971, and he describes it as the most intimate relationship of his entire life.

Brenner says that he was seduced by the dolphin when she rubbed up against him, and describes sex with her as “transcendental.” Said Brenner:

“It felt like I was making love with the ocean itself. It felt like, first of all, that I had forgiven myself?gotten over my hesitations about finally giving her what she wanted…When I had that realization, then it just seemed there was this energy surging between us, growing more intense…It stepped right over the species line…The dolphin, I know, was just as aware. She’d had to elude a male dolphin to get to me.”

Brenner, who has twice been married to human females, also admitted to sex with other animals. He currently owns a dog, but said he is not turned on by just any animal. No, he only has sex with the ones that are really special.

“I’m attracted to animals that have a rather independent streak in them…Animals that think for themselves…In addition to the dolphin, the only animal I ever had any sexual experience with is canines.”

Mr. Brenner did not mention if his current dog has that special “independent streak,” and for the dog’s sake, let’s hope she (or he?) struggles with issues of codependency.

“Dolphin Lover” debuted last week at the Slamdance Film Festival in Utah, of all places. The film will be played at multiple film festivals this year before being released online for the world to enjoy. Until then, we can hold ourselves over with brief, disturbing excerpts from the film. Enjoy!
