Often multiple boys will be trying to impress and win over one girl in what we would call in human terms as sexual harassment.

Get away, already! |

And this final photo seems to show one guy gloating over his victory while his rival dives for safety. However, I prefer the caption, coming from the guy on the left: "Well, kiss my a**!"
