HOLY FUCK! GIANT SQUID SEX!!!!!

naturally, you have to assume that giant squids come from somewhere, right? no surprise: they have sex. well, sweet jesus, i never anticipated an article about mating mollusks would wind up being THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE EVER.

key quotes:

i think i accidentally inseminated myself after reading that sentence.

"males get round their inferior size by being endowed with a particularly long penis, which means they can inject the female without having to get too close to her chomping beak. The male's sexual organ is actually a bit like a high-pressure fire hose and is normally nearly as long as his body"

wait. "high-pressure fire hose!!?" mmm, squid bukkake. i suddenly find myself craving calamari. with extra tartar sauce. waitress!
