In order to mate, a male deep sea anglerfish will bite a female when he finds her. The male will never let go and will eventually merge his body into the female and spend the rest of his life inside the female mate. The males internal organs will disappear apart from the testes that are needed to for breeding.

This reminded me of a particular hermaphroditic sea creature which could change sexes at will. In its mating season, this sea animal would find a worthy partner as a mate. The two would procede to grow p****es out of themselves and fight at each other with them until one poked through the other's skin. This opening would become the v****a. The victor, the one who had the greater p**** skills, would impregnate the other.

I have some interesting facts about orgasms:
-When you have an orgasm, you have no thoughts and you feel no feelings.

Are you sure you don't feel pain or pleasure? I heard before that men experience a little pain when they orgasm, although, it could be before they actually do.

To the creater of this thread. You need to get off your high horse. What you call interesting is opinion, some people may very well not find these facts interesting at all and rather lame and boring. Yet, you have the nerve to claim these so-called interesting facts as "official?"

How 'bout this, you are officially ********.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Are you sure you don't feel pain or pleasure? I heard before that men experience a little pain when they orgasm, although, it could be before they actually do.

Dude, I got all kinds of feelings as soon as it happens. I want a smoke, something to eat, and sleep all at the same time. And yes, all these feelings happen as soon as the orgasm starts.
