Nature's strangest sex rituals revealed:

[Common]

From an octopus with a detachable penis to porcupines that pee to woo

• Argonaut octopus has a detachable penis that the female can save
• Creature was voted to have the strangest sex in a Society of Biology poll
• Banana slugs can mate with themselves and porcupines wee to woo
• Sex can be painful because the males and females have different aims
  

Humans may have their quirks and kinks, but sex in the animal kingdom can be truly strange and excruciatingly painful.
From banana slugs that can mate with themselves, to fish that turn their ‘boyfriends’ into a clingy parasite until only his testes are left, experts have rounded up the most bizarre and disgusting mating rituals.
And after much deliberation, scientists and members of the public have crowned the Argonaut octopus' taste in sex, whose detachable penis ‘swims’ off to mate, the weirdest in the natural world.



A MIND OF ITS OWN
The eight-armed marine creature has a long, detachable penis in order to mate with females that are five times bigger than itself.
When a female swims by, the male Argonaut sends his penis off to swim to the female and mate with her.
