    Granted - but you don't have to have them every 3 years for your entire adult life

    RG, I'm not going to earn the DM money by opening the link. But I'm glad someone somewhere is finally using all that gym energy.

    Yes, the world would be a very different places if men had anything like the reproductive system we have. I am fascinated by hermaphrodite animals, like banana slugs, that have both sets of systems.

    "In the banana slugs, the penis is trapped inside the body of the partner. Apophallation allows the slugs to separate themselves by one or both of the slugs chewing off the other's or their own penis. Once the penis has been lost, banana slugs are still able to mate using only the female parts of the reproductive system".

    There are 65,000 species that have both, which seems a significant chunk. Some creatures can change sex, like clownfish, some butterflies and flat worms.

    Crikey  :o

    Fair enough on the DM - so I'll tell you then - that gym opened in 2013. Dunno if it's still going

    Chewing off your partner's penis seems a bit.... drastic. But lots of animals will eat their mate or their children. All good protein at the end of the day.

    My mom said something to me once that has always stayed with me.

    Comparing a woman's reproductive system to a man's is like comparing the plumbing for a central heating system to the plumbing for a tap.
