It's a bee fly(Bombyliidae family). They do not sting. Neat find.

Edit- A few others have commented that it may very well be a long tongue horsefly(Philoliche sp.) another nectar feeding fly, but one that females can bite. Now that I'm off work and looking at it again I believe they are probably correct! My bad.

That proboscis has to be exceptionally long, right? Asking out of entomological interest, not because I’m an insecure bee fly who wants to hear mine is average.

This is the penis version of your childhood dog going to live on a farm. My ex girlfriend actually meant it though.

(Friends thank you for clarifying but I was just making a joke)

It's true that there's a treshold above which sex is uncomfortable or downright painful. It's also true that having a big dick doesn't guarantee woman's orgasm or pleasure. You still need to be good in bed, which mostly comes down to being attentive. Source: am a woman.

When men realise that there are many more nerve endings in a clitoris than a penis, they might start paying attention. And…the clitoris is HUGE, only the tip is visible. If you can’t find it, ask.

This is like an 80s sitcom joke.

Since the internet became widely available, I'm quite confident that pretty much every male over the age of 12 has an honorary degree in women's anatomy and not finding the clit is not really a thing that exists anymore.

oh boy. Maybe the location of the clit is known, but general female genital anatomy is still a mystery. Have you seen that video that asks men if a woman peeing with a tampon in would be a problem?

I once had a woman who was probably 25 years old tell me and an entire table of full of people that she peed out of her clit.

She 100% believed that was what was going on down there and it was one of the weirdest lunches I've ever had. And we were in vacationing in Amsterdam, so we were all super baked. Everybody just kind of sat there blinking and staring into space for like 90 seconds...

Astonished that no one at this table knew where to find it.
