I don't believe I'm psycho. I don't need medications to think rationally. But I have been wondering some unusual things lately... like: How does an octopus have sex? One alone has eight arms; imagine two octopi all tangled up in a mess of sixteen arms. They have to put them somewhere to get the job done. What about electric eels and anglerfish? How do they bump uglies without killing each other? What about turtles? Do the shells stay on, or do they take 'em off during sex, like a man and his socks?
I've never literally seen any creature literally fashion the beast with two backs, but I'm pretty sure their genitalia is adjacent to their...frontals. I don't think humping would impregnate the female. And do animals even know what the genitalia means? If flies have so little mental capacity that they continually bump into the same wall, day after day, how do they know they're not getting into a same-sex mating ritual? Do they mate for life? And if they do, how do they know which fly is their mate?
So many questions...But I'm too afraid to Google them...

lol, YouTube has many scientific channels, so you could probably look it up there without coming across anything too weird...
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about fish sex, but I'm pretty sure I remember learning that some creatures are immune to their own kind - if I'm right, a good example would be that one poisonous snake can't kill another of the same kind because that snake is naturally immune.
I do remember for sure that some female fish lay eggs and that the males squirt stuff onto the eggs directly to start the creation of a new generation - I can only guess that this would be a good way for some types of electric/poisonous creatures to mate safely...
Yeah, maybe. It always bugged me that the male fish could choose to become a father even after his mate gave birth; meanwhile some women run around having lots of sex, no condoms, and act so shocked when they get knocked up.
DeleteI wonder if humans were venomous, we'd be immune, too...
Maybe the male fish don't really choose to do it; maybe fertilizing the eggs is a powerful instinct that he can't disobey?
DeleteNot that all animals are so lucky...I think it's monkeys, but there's one species that has sex for two straight weeks, or as long as they can, until they die, having forgotten to eat, sleep, etc. - and there are other species where the female has to raise and protect the babies because the fathers would attack them!
Yeah, some humans are disgusting - not just women; I know of several men who have had more sex than sleep, and eew.
(That said, if I was venomous, I'd be able to put a stop to that kind of behaviour, lol) :)
I didn't think of it like that. I suppose if I were swimming in circles, bumping against walls, eating the same piece of crap I keep spitting out, every day, all day; I'd probably want to have kids just to spice it up a bit.
Deletelol, for sure...that's definitely not the way I thought of it :p
