****This Sea Slug Discards Its Penis After Sex and Grows Another****
Even in the utterly dry language of science, there is no way to describe the mating behavior of the sea slug Chromodoris reticulata as anything other than bizarre. The creature, native to the Pacific Ocean, engages in simultaneous hermaphroditic mating—that is, each slug has both a penis and a vagina, and when mating, both members of a couple inserts their penises into the other’s vagina at the same time—but that’s not nearly the strangest aspect of their reproduction efforts.
As discovered by a group of Japanese scientists and revealed today in the journal Biology Letters, it’s what C. reticulata does after sex that is particularly unexpected—and previously unknown in the animal kingdom. After copulating for about 10 minutes, each slug discards its penis and immediately begins growing a new one, which is ready for use within 24 hours. http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/scie...reticulata.jpg http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/scie...ndgrowsanother |

Two weird animal penis threads in one day?
|
I don't always lose my penis when mating....oh, wait, yes I do. But I just grow another one. Near my vagina.
|
Now that’s an interesting way around STD’s.

I'd probably say yes to drugged out Amy Winehouse if I didn't have to keep the same penis afterwards.

I used to discard the vaginas after I was done with them, but I always kept the same penis.

We've all been with a woman at some point where the thought of a detachable penis afterward didn't seem so bad.
|
Some doode named Bobbit tried that act!
|
Why would they need to ready again in 24 hours, are these slugs NOT married? Immoral!

"With a full day for regeneration, though, their mating behavior was entirely regular. One particularly vigorous specimen was even able to grow its penis back twice in a row, mating 3 times consecutively with 24 hours between each instance." Whore. |
Overheard in the sea slug world:
"WHAAAT?!? I LOST MY DICK!? BUT I USED A CONDOM!!" "Sorry, honey, but I'm losing my virginity with that special someone who happens to be me whenever I'm through with that damn headache that's lasted forever." "WHAAAT?!? I LOST MY DICK AFTER A SELF-B.J.?! TECHNICALLY, THAT'S JUST FOREPLAY!" "Go **** yourself!" |

It's better than having the female nag it off afterwards.
