• Wild and Dangerous Sex

  So, even though it’s Easter Sunday and the family was around, I couldn’t help but think of sex today. Hot, wild, exotic sex. I had to share it with you tonight. 

  Obvious Choice – Praying Mantis

  Everyone knows the praying mantis loses his head once he mounts the female, but did you know  that without his head, the male doubles his duration and speed in delivering sperm to the female? Now, you know you are a lame lover when you are better dead than alive. 

  

  Honey Bees

  The the sex life of a drone honey bee is anything but sweet. After a drone honey bee gets busy with his queen, his penis falls off. And then he dies. I wonder, was the sex worth it?
  

  

   

  Flatworms

  Sword fighting to see who the girl is? Yes, flatworms do this.  ”Like all sea slugs, flatworms are hermaphrodites. In this case, the male organ turns out to be two dagger-like penises that they use to hunt as well as mate. During mating, two flatworms fight (i.e. “penis fence”) to stab each other, while avoiding getting stabbed. The “loser” who gets stabbed will absorb the sperm through its skin and then scoots off to bear the burden of motherhood!”

  

   

  Snails

  Snails are the keeper of Cupid’s arrows. They are also hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female sexual organs, but they do not self-fertilize. Before two snails mate, they shoot “love darts” made of calcium at each other. People used to think that these arrows are nutritional gifts, like you give someone you love a box of chocolate, but they much more sinister than that. The mucus on the darts allow more sperms to be stored in the snail’s uterus (and thus helped it gain an edge in reproduction).

   

  

   

  Banana Slug

  The banana slug, does not always die after sex, they only wish they did.  First of all, they have an enormous penis. The average size of a banana slug penis is 6 to 8 inches. This is incredibly impressive, considering their entire body length is 6 to 8 inches. Banana slugs are hermaphrodites, so two slugs will try to fertilize each other. They put their enormous penises into each other, and if they do not remove it soon enough, the mate will chew it off. No, it doesn’t grow back. 

   

  

  Black Widow

  The female black widow spider sometimes eat their male partners after mating. This is too bad for the males, always wondering if they will get a goodnight kiss or not after sex! As you can see, the female is larger, stronger and more venomous than the male spider. Whether or not the male turns into a midnight snack after sex is completely up to the ladies. 

  
  

  

  Bonobos

  Oh, I wish I were a bonobo… Bonobos use sex as greetings, a mean of solving disputes, making up for fights, and as a favors in exchange for food. (They don’t even need to dye their hair blonde or wear push up bras.) They tongue kiss, engage in oral sex, mutual masturbations, have face-to-face genital sex. The females invite the males and other females for sex. The males have penis fencing rituals and engage in stimulating their own genitals on another male’s ass.  This species is best characterized as female-centered and egalitarian and as one that substitutes sex for aggression. Who says they are less evolved?

  

   

  Silverback Gorilla 

  In contrast, I am glad I am not a female Silverback gorilla. There are many ladies per male, but they only have a penis an inch and a half. Sad, poor ladies. I had a boyfriend like a Silverback once.
