Judy Evans would say, flashlight!
Geary will say that sex is not really 'rational'. The idea that one needs
or intends to f*ck someone is, and hence the means to accomplish the goal.
Geary will argue that a vixen does not reason when she f*cks the fox, but
then, as Heidegger notes, foxes don't have 'hands' (vorhanden, zuhanden),
only paws.
Heidegger is the only animal who has hands.
