Lu Lu The Panda Sex Machine Breaks His Own Record

Another day, another epic sexcapade in the zoo. That's how life is for Lu Lu in Sichuan Giant Panda Research Center in China. Last week, he broke the record for the longest sex rampage between pandas with his partner Zhen Zhen. And now, we're happy to report that Lu Lu broke his own world record for panda sex just a day later. And, by broke, I mean shattered.

If you were impressed with Lu Lu's seven minutes and 45 seconds romp last week — which by the way is longer than the average sex session for us Americans – you'll be blown a way by his latest sesh, which lasted 18 minutes and three seconds. Not only is that not normal for this species, but holy crap, Lu Lu, you more than doubled your performance in a matter of days.

What's his secret? What are they feeding this horndog at this research center? Did he try new positions? Since it takes two to tango, we're going to give half the credit to his panda partner, who was a new one this time. Zhen Zhen was replaced with Xi Mei, sexual goddess. It's unclear as to what happened with the original couple and who kicked who to the curb – but I have a feeling this isn't the last we'll be seeing of Zhen Zhen. That first record was hers too, so I'm hoping to see go at it with her new boo and demolish the Lu Lu's latest achievement.

This is a huge accomplishment for Lu Lu and Xi Mei, and I guess the Sichuan Giant Panda Research Center, who have now been consumed with timing the duration of panda sex and taking pics of panda porn. Frequent sex makes you smarter, healthier, happier, and more creative, and I can only imagine that LuZhen (someone had to give them a nickname) are reaping these benefits to the max.
