Molluscs are the invertebrates that definitely have the freakiest sex. Sure, the insects and arachnids get all this attention for mixing violence with doing it, but that's old news. Molluscs are much freakier. Yes, the praying mantis eats the head off of her mate during intercourse to send him into "sexual spasm," and one wee male spider actually does a back flip into his mate's mouth (he wants her to get post-eating lethargy so she won't feel up to another casual romp with someone else). This isn't that exciting to me, though, because the male just dies and it's over. The molluscs (snails, slugs, squids, octopi) get into all sorts of variety with their violent sex acts. Stabbing, spearing, shoving exploding sperm blobs up their partners' noses, chewing each other's penises off. Many of them are hermaphrodites as well, which adds to the excitement.

Stars were subtracted for design issues.

275877 I love this lyric "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"- I won't get personal or make a lyric to self connection.
