...We all love dolphins, from Flipper to Opo – they are a friendly face to the human race.
But Malcolm Brenner, had a friendlier relationship than most.
In 1970, the photographer embarked on a 9 month sexual relationship with Ruby, a captive female dolphin.
He has now written a book about the experience called Wet Goddess.
Mr Brenner spoke to Nightline from his Florida home. Below is the transcript of our conversation.
DF: Thanks for your time. How did this whole thing start?
MB: She began raking her teeth lightly against my arms and legs which was indescribably erotic. Some might find it frightening, I found it erotic.
DF: Now in your book, you talk about how that led on to you two having sex. A lot of people would say that's wrong, what's right in your mind about what you did?
MB: What was right with it is that the dolphin initiated the whole sexual thing. As I mentioned, she was in isolation - she'd be using me to satisfy her sexual needs.
The relationship lasted nine months. When Mr Brenner went to college - Ruby passed away - possibly due to a broken heart.
“I'd warn anyone who's in a relationship with a dolphin. You have to plan an exit strategy,” says Mr Brenner....
