Happy or terrified?

This is one of the statues in Ubud Monkey Forest in Bali. I cannot decide whether the woman looks like she is having fun and enjoying it or like she is terrified.

Looks like she is posing to the photographer (you) and saying "Come on, take it faster, I cannot hang like this any more!"

Ha ha, it does actually, yes.

Looks to me like they are both enjoying it. 

I wonder which God this is a depiction of and what the story is behind the creation of the statue.

However it is they are very unlikely to be a good kisser.

IDK but it looks freaky. o_o Like a gargoyle? Oy.

It certainly does.

In Toronto, the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) has chinese figures that are freaky... I wish I could recover the pix but I don't remember where I have them. :-(

Here is a joke:
Maybe the frightening creature is saying, "Let's both open our mouths and stick our tongues out! Bleaargh!"
Woman: "Bleaaargh! I can't do it as far as you can."
