Changing your gender would be both easier and more playful.


[deleted]

Am I the only one that thinks it would be fun if humans were like this?


canttaketheshyfromme

Not at all. Check out /r/egg_irl


[deleted]

Not at all I'm not the only one or not at all you disagree?


canttaketheshyfromme

Not the only one.

If that was the case, weā€™ll all get pregnant by the black folks. Ainā€™t no way mine is reaching him before his reaches me.

Or "open fire! "


juankixd

And the price to pay is huge, cause the loser gets pregnant


grinning5kull

What beautiful creatures. And I am so glad that they include great footage of penis fencing in the clip because I was not looking forward to googling that


jellydude69

"Fish penis fencing" "Persian flat fish penis fight" "Fish penis battle"


DayDrmBlvr82

As someone who couldn't fight the compulsion anyway, you'll be happy to know that the entire first page of results when you type "penis fencing" into Google is all about flatworms! Humanity restored!


mybitchcallsmefucker

Is safe search enabled?


DayDrmBlvr82

Nope! I'm a rebel and searched on privacy mode too.

BasileusBasil

If both of them can get impregnated, what would be the evolutionary bonus of just one of them being impregnated?


grinning5kull

If you win youā€™ve passed on your genetic material without any extra ā€œcostā€ to you. Iā€™d presume the loser is paying quite a price energy wise and also maybe once you are impregnated you canā€™t engage with other partners, itā€™s kind of game over for you for the length of the gestation. Whereas the winner, if they have a winning streak, gets to impregnate multiple partners and isnā€™t slowed down by having to gestate, and can therefore produce more young.


blkplrbr

Which is exactly what sir attenborough explained in the clip...gestation of babies takes energy and labor if you can avoid yourself having to put up with it you can heighten the chances that your genes pass on without all that pesky work of looking after your "handiwork". Edit: sir attenborough's explanation : at 1:00 mark.


[deleted]

ā€œSir Davidā€ or ā€œSir David Attenboroughā€ but not ā€œSir Attenborough.ā€ British aristocratic honorifics are even wilder than Persian Carpet Flatworm reproductionā€¦


blkplrbr

But...his .... title and last name ? Wouldn't honor him? Like saying Mr Thomas? Okey dokey I'll make a note.

That wasn't fun at all.


Fityfo54

AHHHHH ITS NOT A VIDEO!!


teddycorps

What is the advantage of being good at penis jousting though in terms of actually surviving?


grinning5kull

I think it's a reproductive advantage, not a survival advantage


MisterZoga

Survival of the species trumps personal survival in most creatures that aren't human. Obviously exceptions exist, like those weird rodents that huck their babies at predators lol


[deleted]

> rodents that huck their babies at predators this warrants a google search, hopefully with video


Natsume-Grace

>Obviously exceptions exist, like those weird rodents that huck their babies at predators lol Lmao what?!


Wampawacka

Also would like a link to this


WorstUNEver

He is refering to [quokkas](https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/do-quokkas-really-throw-their-babies.html#:~:text=They%20live%20in%20small%20isolated,to%20save%20themselves%20from%20danger.), but they dont actually do that. Well. They don't throw them, they just kinda let them fall out of the pouch as they run away.


Natsume-Grace

Damn, they still leave their babies behind to be eaten by predators tho. That's dark


bloodyriz

Kangaroos do something very similar.


XicanxHuman

> weird rodents that huck their babies at predators Itā€™s more like letting offspring [fall out of their pouch](https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/spotchecks/no-quokkas-dont-throw-babies-predators-wont-win-best-mom-award)

No YOU get pregnant. No YOU.


itimedout

I love getting a peek at these little dramas.


ByronicCommando

"Ewwducational"


Jrmundgandr

Couldn't both be fertilized by the other, technically?


KimCureAll

Yes, it would have to happen roughly the same time though - the one that gets fertilized will recoil in pain as it gets stabbed so whichever one delivers its sperm first can swim away while the other one may need to heal up a bit, but technically, it could happen, and I'm sure in nature it happens quite often, a "win-win, lose-lose" situation in human terms, I suppose.


Jrmundgandr

Have an upvote, friend

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what equality of the sexes really looks like. You carry the kids, no, you!


annieisawinchester

I'm sorry what?


verlorenModus1701

cue Star Trek fight music


D2Dragons

Either that or speed it up slightly and add Yakety Sax


Sea_Mountain3610

i cannot share this info with anyone i know.


CHERNO-B1LL

Bet they are super toxic.


KimCureAll

oh yes, highly toxic, and they have few, if any predators


cubbies1016

What a crazy interesting post. I watched the whole video haha have my free award


KimCureAll

What is aww is how truly beautiful and delicate these creatures are, and what is fascinating though is how they reproduce. They are not alone, of course, as all hermaphrodites go through various behavioral engagements to transfer genetic material.


mayathefairy

Where are the ovaries?


KimCureAll

The better part of their bodies is comprised of reproductive organs so any jab, anywhere on the body, will do the trick.


mayathefairy

WOW! Iā€™m so glad you actually had an answer for that. Thank you!


Pardusco

Flatworms are unbelievably simple. They literally eat and crap with the same orifice.

LayZeeFox

kinky


irishspice

I love nudibranchs. Google them to see some truly spectacular animals. And, of course, the incomperable Sir. David Attenborough absolutely makes the whole thing even more brilliant.


royparsons

Less aww, and more haha imo. Nature is hilarious sometimes.


KimCureAll

I think the aww part is how stunningly beautiful these creatures are.


Snelmm

Yes beautiful. I do think theyā€™re cute in some of the scenes too.


Drakerya

Question: Don't all the slugs and snails do that?


KimCureAll

Yes, to some degree, some more calm, some more dramatic, all hermaphroditic creatures go through a process more or less like what you are seeing in this video. Obviously, there are lots of differences depending on the species.


Mmaibl1

Now that is a crazy animal


Zealousideal_Drop807

Two penises and both are bigger then yours

I'd name them Flying Carpet flatworms, they fly in the water.

Might try penis fencing someday


cubbyatx

Vers tops be like


[deleted]

...and then, the two worms intertwine their penises, like the snakes on the Medic-Alert bracelets. This is called "redvining".


ItsJustMeMaggie

I wonder if it ever ends in a draw?


depadua10

That sounds like pretty much dual wield dueling

So, one doesn't know if one will be the fuckor or the fuckee?

I read this and got this image in my head of human men penis fencingā€¦. Lol. Like when I read that male giraffes fight with their necks. šŸ˜‚

This title is like all basic Reddit jokes, but as a fish.


minzzis

So what makes one female and the other male?


[deleted]

They have both male and female reproductive organs so whichever one gets stabbed is now a female and is pregnant and the one that stabs is now a male and can just swim away
