Your Say

Don't know why, but for some reason this makes me think of Larry King.

Please.
They're not making love. They're having sex. I don't think turtles have the emotional awareness to make love.
The use of the term "making love" when someone means "having sex" had bugged me since the '60s when I figured out there was a difference.
But I kinda agree with the Larry King comment.
