Top 5 Terrifying Animal Sex Facts
Top 5 Disgusting Facts About KFC
If you're unhappy with the quality of sex you’re having… just remember– it could be a whole lot worse. Welcome to WatchMojo’s Top 5 Facts. In today’s instalment, we’re counting down the top five terrifying animal sex facts. Come with us as we explore the exciting world of mating in the animal kingdom… and all the shocking horrors it has to offer.
#5: Alligators Always Have Erections
You know who’s always ready for a sexy party? Male alligators. These giant reptiles are essentially always DTF, at least from a physiological perspective. Rather than a flaccid member, capable of growing into a rigid erection when stimulated, alligators have a permanently erect penis concealed inside their bodies, which springs out, fully erect and ready to go at a moment’s notice. It maintains its permanently erect state by being composed of thick layers of collagen. Unlike humans, no pesky blood pumping is involved which means they can keep it up no matter how cold the water gets. It is one of the only creatures on the planet with a penis that undergoes no physiological change at all when mating.
#4: Mating Season is Mass Murder Season for Dawson’s Bees
The females of this massive burrowing bee species spend most of their lives in relative harmony... until mating that is. Then the males show up, bringing “A Bug’s Life” levels of chaos and panic with them. The behavior of the male Dawson’s bees can only be described as a vicious horny bloodlust. One male will find a female, pull her from her burrow, and immediately be swarmed by all other nearby males. It becomes a mosh pit of stinging and biting, with the female at the center of the maelstrom. The last male standing at the end of this orgy of violence gets the honor of actually mating… if the female hasn’t died in the process.
#3: Male Porcupines Seduce Females By Peeing on Them
Top 10 Male Celebrities You Didn’t Know Had Plastic Surgery
Step aside R. Kelly, porcupines are the O.G.s of peeing on their significant others. A male porcupine doesn’t waste time with flowers, he simply sniffs the female porcupine from head to toe, then rears up on his hind legs, presenting his fully erect penis. It’s like “the naked man” of the animal kingdom - unbelievably bold, but somehow effective. If she likes what she sees, she responds by rearing up on her hind legs, too. Then in a real WTF move, the male urinates all over the female, marking her with his scent before they do the deed. Hey, foreplay means different things to different species, who are you to judge?
#2: Seed Beetle Sex: Overly Stabby, But Admittedly Refreshing
It’s hard enough to find that special someone... without having a spiked appendage for a penis. The act of copulation usually entails a significant amount of bodily harm for female seed beetles–also known as cowpea weevils– as a direct result of their partner’s unfortunately sharp genitalia. Why would female seed beetles be interested? In their hot, dry environment, the watery ejaculate of the male seed beetles can be an essential means of hydration for the females. Now that is thirsty. In a lab environment, however, with plenty of water available, the females channelled their inner Meghan Trainor, leaving the male beetles high and dry for a change.
#1: Wasp Spider Genitals Break Off
The first time you have sex can be an awkward experience. But most of us will have a lifetime to improve…unless you’re a wasp spider. Then, your first time, is likely also your last. It's like they say, “once you go wasp spider, you’ll leave your genitals inside her.” Okay, so it's not a common expression outside of wasp spider circles, but still... The females of many spider species are cannibalistic, eating the male after copulating. So you’d think that the detachable genitals trick would be an attempt to get in and then get out alive, but surprisingly, self-preservation has nothing to do with it. It’s actually an attempt to plug her genitals ducts, thus preventing her from procreating with someone else. Talk about being possessive! From a sexual standpoint, which of the species on our list would you LEAST like to be? Have you heard of any other truly terrifying animal sex facts?
