A mate

Answer 3

s*x!  It's their language of love.  Everybody's doing it, just each in their own way.

So how did this end up in cameras?  Oh, must be the word "flash"!

Answer 4

They are using the tiny digital cameras to take your pictures (or pictures of each other). The light that you see is when their flashes go off!

Just a notice - you posted your question into the cameras section... Maybe next time try posting it to a biology or a similar place....

LEM.
